我們把在潮中戲水的弄潮兒,來比喻有勇敢進取精神的人。
本書分為兩個部分。第一部分的主人公是企業家。他們從貧窮到富有的故事多姿多彩,而且帶有明顯的中國特色:潘石屹、張欣是一對在外人看來不太可能成為夫妻的夫妻,攜手成為中國房地產界中的翹楚;孫立哲是一個善於順應時代潮流的天才,把自己從文革中毛澤東喜愛的「赤腳醫生」變成了特立獨行的出版商;張大中是一個矢志為母親洗清冤屈的家電連鎖企業巨頭,他的母親以「反革命分子」的罪名被當局用最殘忍的方式處決。
第二組人物以知識分子為主。文中涉及北京大學的教授們,他們如何捲入了一場關於教育改革的激烈論戰;作者哥哥查建國,一個因參與組建「中國民主黨」而獲罪並在監獄服刑九年的持不同政見者;最後是一位當過文化部長的作家王蒙,人們為他到底是共產黨的辯護士亦或是可能獲得諾貝爾文學獎的偉大作家而分成兩派。
追蹤並記錄這些鮮活的人物和他們的故事,讓這些故事加深讀者對當代中國的理解。這本書可以幫助讀者更好地瞭解目前發生在中國以及中國人身邊的、錯綜複雜、前景未明但卻生機勃勃的歷史轉變。
On Intelligence
DoubanFrom the inventor of the PalmPilot comes a new and compelling theory of intelligence, brain function, and the future of intelligent machines
Jeff Hawkins, the man who created the PalmPilot, Treo smart phone, and other handheld devices, has reshaped our relationship to computers. Now he stands ready to revolutionize both neuroscience and computing in one stroke, with a new understanding of intelligence itself.
Hawkins develops a powerful theory of how the human brain works, explaining why computers are not intelligent and how, based on this new theory, we can finally build intelligent machines.
The brain is not a computer, but a memory system that stores experiences in a way that reflects the true structure of the world, remembering sequences of events and their nested relationships and making predictions based on those memories. It is this memory-prediction system that forms the basis of intelligence, perception, creativity, and even consciousness.
In an engaging style that will captivate audiences from the merely curious to the professional scientist, Hawkins shows how a clear understanding of how the brain works will make it possible for us to build intelligent machines, in silicon, that will exceed our human ability in surprising ways.
Written with acclaimed science writer Sandra Blakeslee, On Intelligence promises to completely transfigure the possibilities of the technology age. It is a landmark book in its scope and clarity.

This is the question that David Eagleman—renowned neuroscientist and acclaimed author of Sum—answers in a book as accessible and entertaining as it is deeply informed by startling, up-to-the-minute research.

Creativity, Inc.: Overcoming the Unseen Forces That Stand in the Way of True Inspiration
Creativity, Inc. is a book for managers who want to lead their employees to new heights, a manual for anyone who strives for originality, and the first-ever, all-access trip into the nerve center of Pixar Animation Studios—into the story meetings, the postmortems, and the “Braintrust” sessions where art is born. It is, at heart, a book about how to build and sustain a creative culture—but it is also, as Pixar co-founder and president Ed Catmull writes, “an expression of the ideas that I believe make the best in us possible.”
For nearly twenty years, Pixar has dominated the world of animation, producing such beloved films as the Toy Story trilogy, Monsters, Inc., Finding Nemo, The Incredibles, Up, and WALL-E, which have gone on to set box-office records and garner twenty-seven Academy Awards. The joyousness of the storytelling, the inventive plots, the emotional authenticity: In some ways, Pixar movies are an object lesson in what creativity really is. Now, in this book, Catmull reveals the ideals and techniques, honed over years, that have made Pixar so widely admired—and so profitable.
As a young man, Catmull had a dream: to make the world’s first computer-animated movie. He nurtured that dream first as a Ph.D. student at the University of Utah, where many computer science pioneers got their start, and then forged an early partnership with George Lucas that led, indirectly, to his founding Pixar with Steve Jobs and John Lasseter in 1986. Nine years later and against all odds, Toy Story was released, changing animation forever. The essential ingredient in that movie’s success—and in the thirteen movies that followed, all of which debuted at #1 at the box office—was the unique environment that Catmull and his colleagues built at Pixar, based on philosophies that protect the creative process and ideas that defy convention, such as:
• Give a good idea to a mediocre team, and they will screw it up. But give a mediocre idea to a great team, and they will either fix it or come up with something better.
• If you don’t strive to uncover what is unseen and understand its nature, you will be ill prepared to lead.
• It’s not the manager’s job to prevent risks. It’s the manager’s job to make it safe for others to take them.
• The cost of preventing errors is often far greater than the cost of fixing them.
• A company’s communication structure should not mirror its organizational structure. Everybody should be able to talk to anybody.
• Do not assume that general agreement will lead to change—it takes substantial energy to move a group, even when all are on board.
Advance praise for Creativity, Inc.
“Many have attempted to formulate and categorize inspiration and creativity. What Ed Catmull shares instead is his astute experience that creativity isn’t strictly a well of ideas but an alchemy of people. In Creativity, Inc., Ed reveals, with commonsense specificity and honesty, examples of how not to get in your own way and realize a creative coalescence of art, business, and innovation.”—George Lucas

…
I ask no favors for my sex… All I ask of our brethren is that they will take their feet from off our necks.
—Sarah Moore Grimké, activist for women’s suffrage, 1837
As the United States Supreme Court leans increasingly to the right, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s vigorous dissenting opinions and ferocious 20-push-up workouts have earned this tiny, soft-spoken, intellectual giant the status of rock star and the title “Notorious RBG.” What many don’t know is Ginsburg’s strategic, trailblazing role in defining gender-discrimination law. Intent on systematically releasing women from second-class status, she argued six pivotal gender-bias cases in the 1970s before an all-male Supreme Court blind to sexism.
Now 84, and still inspired by the lawyers who defended free speech during the Red Scare, Ginsburg refuses to relinquish her passionate duty, steadily fighting for equal rights for all citizens under the law. Through intimate interviews and unprecedented access to Ginsburg’s life outside the court, RBG tells the electric story of Ginsburg’s consuming love affairs with both the Constitution and her beloved husband Marty—and of a life’s work that led her to become an icon of justice in the highest court in the land.

Millions of lives are damaged by the legacy of parental abuse. Parents who ignored their children's needs or overburdened them with guilt. Parents who were alcoholic or addicted to drugs. Parents who were exploitative and cruel, or simply indifferent and inadequate. When these children reach adulthood the damage done by their toxic parents manifests itself in depression, or difficulties with relationships, careers and decision-making. This book confronts this painful legacy and shows why it is so difficult to put the past behind you. She offers alternatives for achieving inner peace and for freeing yourself from the frustrating patterns of your relationships with your parents. Filled with case histories and testimony from adult children of toxic parents, this book also offers the self-help techniques Dr Forward has developed to change the lives of her patients.

鱼翅与花椒
扶霞是我的好友,也是我认识的所有外国人中,非常了解中国烹饪的一位。这本屡获殊荣的《鱼翅与花椒》无疑是很多外国人写中国食物的书籍里极为鲜活有趣和精准的 。——陈晓卿(“舌尖上的中国”总导演)
这里是中国,一个奇妙的饮食大国。
这是关于中国菜的故事,也是一个英国女孩的中国历险记。
扶霞一九九四年前往中国长住。打从一开始她就发誓不论人家请她吃什么,不管那食物有多么古怪,她一律来者不拒:第一次与四川料理相遇时的神魂颠倒、亲眼目睹鸡鸭被宰杀时的惊吓、体验千变万化的刀 工、对养生饮食的叹服、品尝珍稀野味时内心的道德两难……
透过扶霞的眼睛,我们得以用全新的角度来了解熟悉的中国菜。不同地方的食物拥有其独一无二的气质:川菜的辣带着一丝丝甜,就像悠闲的四川人,总是带着甜甜的体贴;湘菜直接又毫无妥协余地,就跟那里培养出来的领袖人物一样;扬州菜则是太平盛世的食物,温暖而抚慰人心。
从四川热闹的市场到甘肃北部荒僻的风景,从福建的深山到迷人的扬州古城,书中呈现了中式料理让人难忘的美妙滋味,也深刻描绘出中西饮食文化差异,且兼具人文观察与幽默趣味。

Kitchen Confidential
DoubanWhen Chef Anthony Bourdain wrote "Don t Eat Before You Read This" in The New Yorker, he spared no one s appetite, revealing what goes on behind the kitchen door. In Kitchen Confidential, he expanded that appetizer into a deliciously funny, delectable shocking banquet that lays out his 25 years of sex, drugs, and haute cuisine.From his first oyster in the Gironde to the kitchen of the Rainbow Room atop Rockefeller Center, from the restaurants of Tokyo to the drug dealers of the East Village, from the mobsters to the rats, Bourdain s brilliantly written, wild-but-true tales make the belly ache with laughter.
