人在外太空出意外的話遺體去哪裡了？你有聽過死後屍體還會動嗎？
過胖的人骨灰會不會比較重？連體嬰其中一位死掉的話怎麼辦？
這裡是殯儀館，會盡可能友善地對待所有人，包括死人。
但不保證你可以和心愛的倉鼠葬在一起，或不會因昏迷而遭到活埋。
本書收錄了關於死亡的各種冷知識，從屍體的保存方法、驗屍官的工作內容，到木乃伊的製作過程……以文化、風俗、法律、科學等角度，揭開我們對死亡的困惑，像是應該把遺體埋得多深，或臨終前是否看得見一道白光。
來自34個小朋友們提出的問題，正面迎擊，例如──
搬家的時候可不可以挖出心愛的寵物貓？
能不能把自己做成標本，供後世瞻仰？
如果在飛機上心臟病發，屍體會藏在哪裡？
死亡或許讓人感到絕望或恐懼，作者卻透過生動犀利的筆觸，表達對生命的熱愛與尊敬。在她眼裡，死後的世界充滿了想像，但也記住，不是所有可怕的事情都有可能發生。
最後，聽我的忠告，死前千萬不要做這些事：
‧吃一包爆米花，試圖惡整火化人員。
‧囑咐家人留下你的頭蓋骨。
‧用最後的力氣扮鬼臉，好讓你用古怪的表情下葬。
本書特色

No matter your goals, Atomic Habits offers a proven framework for improving--every day. James Clear, one of the world's leading experts on habit formation, reveals practical strategies that will teach you exactly how to form good habits, break bad ones, and master the tiny behaviors that lead to remarkable results.
If you're having trouble changing your habits, the problem isn't you. The problem is your system. Bad habits repeat themselves again and again not because you don't want to change, but because you have the wrong system for change. You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems. Here, you'll get a proven system that can take you to new heights.
Clear is known for his ability to distill complex topics into simple behaviors that can be easily applied to daily life and work. Here, he draws on the most proven ideas from biology, psychology, and neuroscience to create an easy-to-understand guide for making good habits inevitable and bad habits impossible. Along the way, readers will be inspired and entertained with true stories from Olympic gold medalists, award-winning artists, business leaders, life-saving physicians, and star comedians who have used the science of small habits to master their craft and vault to the top of their field.
Learn how to:
* make time for new habits (even when life gets crazy);
* overcome a lack of motivation and willpower;
* design your environment to make success easier;
* get back on track when you fall off course;
...and much more.
Atomic Habits will reshape the way you think about progress and success, and give you the tools and strategies you need to transform your habits--whether you are a team looking to win a championship, an organization hoping to redefine an industry, or simply an individual who wishes to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce stress, or achieve any other goal.

One-man armies, meet-cutes, casual strolls away from huge explosions — stars and industry insiders toast and roast these cinematic chestnuts and more.

精灵鼠小弟

The Earth teems with sights and textures, sounds and vibrations, smells and tastes, electric and magnetic fields. But every animal is enclosed within its own unique sensory bubble, perceiving but a tiny sliver of an immense world. This book welcomes us into a previously unfathomable dimension—the world as it is truly perceived by other animals.
We encounter beetles that are drawn to fires, turtles that can track the Earth’s magnetic fields, fish that fill rivers with electrical messages, and humans that wield sonar like bats. We discover that a crocodile’s scaly face is as sensitive as a lover’s fingertips, that the eyes of a giant squid evolved to see sparkling whales, that plants thrum with the inaudible songs of courting bugs, and that even simple scallops have complex vision. We learn what bees see in flowers, what songbirds hear in their tunes, and what dogs smell on the street. We listen to stories of pivotal discoveries in the field, while looking ahead at the many mysteries which lie unsolved.
In An Immense World, author and acclaimed science journalist Ed Yong coaxes us beyond the confines of our own senses, allowing us to perceive the skeins of scent, waves of electromagnetism, and pulses of pressure that surround us. Because in order to understand our world we don’t need to travel to other places; we need to see through other eyes.

Lurking beneath the progressive activism and sex positivity in the 1970-80s, a dark undercurrent of violence rippled across the American landscape. With reported cases of sexual assault and homicide on the rise, the FBI created a specialized team—the “Mindhunters” better known as the Behavioral Science Unit—to track down the country's most dangerous criminals. And yet narrowing down a seemingly infinite list of potential suspects seemed daunting at best and impossible at worst—until Dr. Ann Wolbert Burgess stepped on the scene.
In
Burgess reveals how her pioneering research on sexual assault and trauma caught the attention of the FBI, and steered her right into the middle of a chilling serial murder investigation in Nebraska. Over the course of the next two decades, she helped the budding unit identify, interview, and track down dozens of notoriously violent offenders, including Ed Kemper ("The Co-Ed Killer"), Dennis Rader ("("BTK"), Henry Wallace ("The Taco Bell Strangler"), Jon Barry Simonis ("The Ski-Mask Rapist"), and many others. As one of the first women trailblazers within the FBI’s hallowed halls, Burgess knew many were expecting her to crack under pressure and recoil in horror—but she was determined to protect future victims at any cost. This book pulls us directly into the investigations as she experienced them, interweaving never-before-seen interview transcripts and crime scene drawings alongside her own vivid recollections to provide unprecedented insight into the minds of deranged criminals and the victims they left behind. Along the way, Burgess also paints a revealing portrait of a formidable institution on the brink of a seismic scientific and cultural reckoning—and the men forced to reconsider everything they thought they knew about crime.
Haunting, heartfelt, and deeply human,
forces us to confront the age-old question that has long plagued our criminal justice system: “What drives someone to kill, and how can we stop them?”

2023 television special

From an award-winning science fiction writer (whose short story "The Story of Your Life" was the basis for the Academy Award-nominated movie Arrival), the long-awaited new collection of stunningly original, humane, and already celebrated short stories
This much-anticipated second collection of stories is signature Ted Chiang, full of revelatory ideas and deeply sympathetic characters. In "The Merchant and the Alchemist's Gate," a portal through time forces a fabric seller in ancient Baghdad to grapple with past mistakes and the temptation of second chances. In the epistolary "Exhalation," an alien scientist makes a shocking discovery with ramifications not just for his own people, but for all of reality. And in "The Lifecycle of Software Objects," a woman cares for an artificial intelligence over twenty years, elevating a faddish digital pet into what might be a true living being. Also included are two brand-new stories: "Omphalos" and "Anxiety Is the Dizziness of Freedom."
In this fantastical and elegant collection, Ted Chiang wrestles with the oldest questions on earth--What is the nature of the universe? What does it mean to be human?--and ones that no one else has even imagined. And, each in its own way, the stories prove that complex and thoughtful science fiction can rise to new heights of beauty, meaning, and compassion.

巴德·肖所回忆的医疗前线生活，是多数人无法企及的山峰，更是他们无法体会的高压与焦虑。他所有的呼吸与思考都被医疗工作占据，家庭关系遍布淤青，*任妻子离他而去。他总是担忧得太多，而睡眠却太少，还在中年时罹患焦虑症和淋巴癌。
他*次与恩师斯塔兹（肝移植之父）合作，就被灌输了“相信生命”的信念。斯塔兹对每一次手术的成功都无比执著，始终会因为病人在手术中死去而怒不可遏。然而手术台上的胜利缓和不了巴德更深层的忧郁。他无法与重获新生者握手，这会让他想起那些因等不到器官而死去的病人。他还不禁思虑，即使病患这次幸存，他们仍然可能以千百种理由死去。
回首过往的手术失误，巴德难掩哀伤；回忆起曾极力抢救但仍然死去的病患，他似乎不再臣服于斯塔兹的生命信条。他逐渐意识到，医生及时、准确的判断不是病人的免死金牌，他们的生命质量也不依赖于医疗的精确把控。有时候，对病人的陪伴和爱护胜过对病情执著和精准的控制。
