◎内容提要:  

“熟读唐诗三百首,不会吟诗也会吟。”但浩瀚的唐诗何从读起?清朝乾隆年间的一位隐者蘅塘退士做了一件流芳千古的好事,他选出了唐人最好的诗编成集子,还能做到雅俗共赏,《唐诗三百首》因而流传极广,朱自清特别在《唐诗三百诗读法指导》一文中推崇它。

蔡志忠加上漫画则使它成为又一本不可多得的晓畅的唐诗读本。

◎内容提要:

《宇宙波澜:科技与人类前途的自省》是一代量子力学巨擎弗里曼戴森的经典科学传记,凝聚了他对科技与人类前途的人文思考与省思。该书被评为改变世界的25本科普书之一。

在这本书里,他试图向人们描述,在身为科学家的某人眼里,人类的处境是何面貌……从内部看科学是怎样的。本书讨论了技术的未来,描述一些科学伦理问题——它们牵涉到战争与和平、自由与责任、希望与绝望。这些都受到科学的影响,都是一种必须作为整体才能理解的图像的组成部分。

这不是一本枯燥的科普说教读物,而是一位才华横溢的科学家用他独特的幽默、深刻的自省以及敏锐的洞察力向我们娓娓叙说科学与人类发展的故事。

Synopsis:

Shortlisted for the Peters Book of the Year. Preparing to survive a typical day of being Digby’s friend wasn’t that different from preparing to survive the Apocalypse. 

When Digby first shows up on her doorstep, Zoe Webster is not impressed. He’s rude, he’s smart, and he doesn’t take ‘no’ for an answer. But before she knows it, Digby has dragged her into a series of hilarious and dangerous situations all related to an investigation into the kidnapping of a girl from their high school. A kidnapping that may be connected to the tragic disappearance of his own sister eight years ago. Peppered with razor-sharp dialogue, this is a romance that is decidedly unromantic, a crime novel where catching the crook isn’t the only hook, and a debut novel you won’t forget.

Synopsis:

Josh Stephenson’s thirteenth year starts with a baffling sequence of events. His seventeen-year-old girl cousin moves into his house, making his bedroom a corridor, he devises a truancy plan to escape the embarrassment he suffers at school, and his estranged father sends him a stuffed falcon for his birthday. And on top of all that, he’s in love but wondering if dreams of love can ever come true. Josh goes to his secret hollow on the beach, a rocky outcropping along Iceland’s rugged coast, to try to work out if his life is being sucked into a black hole or if this is just being thirteen.

Written with passion and humor, this coming-of-age novel explores the juxtaposition of teenage angst and ecstasy.

Synopsis:

WINNER OF THE 2016 INTERNATIONAL DUBLIN LITERARY AWARD WINNER OF THE FOLIO PRIZE 2015 For eight-year-old Ajay and his older brother Birju, life in Dehli in the late 1970s follows a comfortable, predictable routine: bathing on the roof, queuing for milk, playing cricket in the street. Yet, everything changes when their father finds a job in America – a land of carpets and elevators, swimsuits and hot water on tap. Life is exciting for the two brothers as they adjust to prosperity, girls and 24-hour TV, until one hot, sultry day when everything falls apart. Darkly comic, Family Life is a story of a boy torn between duty and survival amid the ruins of everything he once knew.

Synopsis:

Xing Li is what some Chinese people call a banana – yellow on the outside and white on the inside. Although born and raised in London, she never feels like she fits in. When her mother dies, she moves with her older brother to live with venomous Grandma, strange Uncle Ho and Hollywood actress Auntie Mei. Her only friend is Jay – a mixed raced Jamaican boy with a passion for classical music. 

Then Xing Li’s life takes an even harsher turn: the school bullying escalates and her uncle requests she assist him in an unthinkable favour. Her happy childhood becomes a distant memory as her new life is infiltrated with the harsh reality of being an ethnic minority. 

Consumed by secrets, violence and confusing family relations, Xing Li tries to find hope wherever she can. In order to find her own identity, she must first discover what it means to be both Chinese and British.
