JERUSALEM takes audiences on an inspiring and eye-opening tour of one of the worlds oldest and most enigmatic cities. Destroyed and rebuilt countless times over 5000 years, Jerusalems enduring appeal remains a mystery. What made it so important to so many different cultures? How did it become the center of the world for three major religions? Why does it still matter to us? JERUSALEM attempts to answer these questions by following three young Jerusalemites and their families Jewish, Christian and Muslim. Through their eyes, audiences will learn what it means to call Jerusalem home, and experience celebrations and events that mark the high points of a year in the life of the city. JERUSALEM will also follow archaeologists, Dr. Jodi Magness and Dr. Nazmi al-Jubeh, as they explore some of the most extraordinary historical sites in the region in order to better understand this crossroads of civilization. JERUSALEM seeks to build trust and respect between Jews, Christians and Muslims by showcasing their common heritage and inspiring them, and the public, to better understand each other. Audiences will gain a completely unique perspective of a part of the world that captivates the imagination of billions of people. JERUSALEM's producers include multiple Oscar winner, Jake Eberts (Gandhi, Dances With Wolves, The Killing Fields), and Taran Davies (Journey to Mecca), and George Duffield (The End of the Line). Daniel Ferguson (Lost Worlds, Wired to Win: Surviving the Tour de France) is writer, director and producer. Dominic Cunningham Reid (Journey to Mecca) is executive producer.

In the menacing inferno of the old North-American West, Liz is a genuine survivor who is hunted by a vengeful preacher for a crime she didn’t commit.

余英時教授著作等身，2006 年11 月16 日，美國國會圖書館館長詹姆士·畢靈頓博士宣布余英時獲得美國國會圖書館克魯格人文與社會科學終身成就獎 (Kluge Prize rewards lifetime achievement )，實在實至名歸。 本書是余教授最新的著述。余教授的文化史通釋，不但研究上層的經典 (如儒選) 而且也注重下層的民間思想，尤其關懷上、下層之間的互動。不但探索中國思想史的連續性 (continuities) ，而且也分析它的斷裂狀態 (discontinuities)。余教授過去的研究工作，重點主要放在中國思想史的幾個重大的變動時代，如春秋戰國之際、漢晋之際、唐宋之際、明清之際，這是四個最有突破性的轉型期。今天研究中國思想史不能不具備一種比較的眼光 (comparative perspective)，但不能流入一種牽強的比附 (forced analogy)。

John Irving returns to the themes that established him as one of our most admired and beloved authors in this absorbing novel of fate and memory. In Avenue of Mysteries, Juan Diego—a fourteen-year-old boy, who was born and grew up in Mexico—has a thirteen-year-old sister. Her name is Lupe, and she thinks she sees what’s coming—specifically, her own future and her brother’s. Lupe is a mind reader; she doesn’t know what everyone is thinking, but she knows what most people are thinking. Regarding what has happened, as opposed to what will, Lupe is usually right about the past; without your telling her, she knows all the worst things that have happened to you. Lupe doesn’t know the future as accurately. But consider what a terrible burden it is, if you believe you know the future—especially your own future, or, even worse, the future of someone you love. What might a thirteen-year-old girl be driven to do, if she thought she could change the future? As an older man, Juan Diego will take a trip to the Philippines, but what travels with him are his dreams and memories; he is most alive in his childhood and early adolescence in Mexico. As we grow older—most of all, in what we remember and what we dream—we live in the past. Sometimes, we live more vividly in the past than in the present. Avenue of Mysteries is the story of what happens to Juan Diego in the Philippines, where what happened to him in the past—in Mexico—collides with his future.

向「密室大師」卡爾致敬的推理名作 並列密室推理佳作選的十大好書之一 修女沒瘋狂，只是愛破案， 推理史上首見的修女偵探！ 沃爾夫是一位專門揭發宗教詐騙的作家，洛杉磯光明之殿的教主哈斯佛在聚會時卻對他下了「九九神咒」，咒他不出數日內身亡。沒想到咒語竟然成了真，沃爾夫果然離奇在自家書房中遭到近距離槍傷死亡，房間的門窗全都緊閉，儼然是一樁離奇的密室命案。沃爾夫的助理麥特和刑事組副隊長馬歇爾展開抽絲剝繭的調查，甚至還參考約翰．狄克遜．卡爾密室名作《三口棺材》，正當案情陷入膠著時，烏秀拉修女卻帶來一線曙光，難解的謎團終於逐步得以解開…… 傾聽我們的呼救， 讓我們免受這個邪惡之人的迫害。 噢，九聖九徒！徹底消滅他！ 大家都提高音量跟我對著九聖九徒呼喊：「消滅他！」 安東尼．鮑查受推理圈人士愛戴尊敬的原因是他從不恃才驕人，相反地，在評論活動中，他更像是一位不斷發掘新人、鼓勵新人、大處著眼、包容多元的寫作導師。在真實生活?，他也曾在他家鄉的母校加州柏克萊大學?開設推理小說寫作班的課程，有名的科幻推理小說家隆納德．高拉特就是鮑查的入門弟子……安東尼．鮑查在科幻小說與推理小說的創作上也都有經典的位置，他以H. H. Holmes的筆名寫的兩部推理長篇，就是其中的代表作。這兩部小說，都啟用了烏秀拉修女為主角，《九九神咒》是一部向約翰．狄克遜．卡爾致敬的「密室推理小說」（在第十四章對密室的討論，在歷史上和卡爾《三口棺材》?菲爾博士的『密室演講』相互輝映）；而另一部《火箭來到停屍間》，是產生科幻推理小說的雛型。另外一提，我從前誤把Boucher譯成布克，後來發現作者別有所本，他自己說此字與voucher同韻，可見要唸鮑查，那是歷史上一個古老家族的姓氏；而他的筆名H. H. Holmes，和老神探福爾摩斯一點親戚關係也沒有，那是十九世紀一個惡名昭彰的系列謀殺案的兇手名字。鮑查的淵博學問與愛掉書袋，有時候真是考倒狀元呢。

在拉斐尔笔下，那些圣徒们，看到了哪些奇异的景象？ 从拉斐尔的画中，阿拉斯那双奇异的眼睛，看到了哪些从未看到的景象？ 透过拉斐尔和阿拉斯的画与文字，我们又能看到什么？ 有什么奇异的景象，等待着我们去发现？ 这是一部讨论奇异景象的书，更是一部发现奇异眼光的书。

1572年8月18日，巴黎举办了一场隆重的婚礼，玛格丽特•德•瓦卢瓦和亨利•德•纳瓦尔结为连理。这场婚礼本应是天主教徒和新教徒和解的象征。然而，就在婚礼后的第六天，法国国王的御前会议一声令下，胡格诺派的首领被当即处决。随后，天主教徒又对新教徒展开大屠杀，亡者成千上万，男女老少皆成为刀下亡魂…… 从一场象征着和解的婚礼到一场极端暴力的屠戮，期间究竟发生了什么？对胡格诺派数位领袖的“预防性处决”如何演变升级为一场波及全法的大屠杀？法国国王、太后、吉斯家族、西班牙国王究竟扮演了何种角色？对于这些由来已久的谜团，阿莱特•茹阿纳提出了一种新的解读。 圣巴托罗缪大屠杀既不是卡特琳娜•美第奇的诡计，也不是西班牙策划的阴谋，更非出于法国国王清剿新教徒的意愿。查理九世当时认为王权受到极大威胁，在这种特殊的局势下，他决定采用特别的司法程序。而在他被迫使用这种极端解决方案的同时，他实际上确立了国家理性的逻辑——尽管这种逻辑彼时尚未形成理论。 大屠杀的悲剧在法国造成了一种前所未有的断裂，引发了人们对王权的根基与界限、以及不服从的合法性的思考，同时也令人深思宗教分裂对王国传统造成的弊害。但是，从政治上恢复王国传统的愿望却遭遇到反击，对国王的过度神圣化打开了波旁王朝通向绝对主义的大门。 本书荣获法国第八届基佐奖、美国历史学会颁发的2014年度J.拉塞尔•梅杰奖（J. Russell Major Prize）。”

Stories of Your Life and Others is a collection of masterpieces and recently it has taken Hollywood by storm. The lead story in the collection will soon to be a major motion picture starring Amy Adams, while another story has been optioned by Fox and is in development. Offering readers the dual delights of the very strange and the heartbreakingly familiar, Stories of Your Life and Others presents characters who must confront sudden change. In the amazing and much-lauded “Story of Your Life,” a grieving mother copes with divorce and the death of her daughter by drawing on her new knowledge of an alien language and its nonlinear structure. In “Liking What You See: A Documentary,” a clever pastiche of news reports and interviews chronicle a college’s initiative to turn off the human ability to recognize beauty. In “Understand,” a young man has an amazing reaction to an experimental drug used to heal brain damage. In each story, with sharp intelligence and humor, Chiang examines what it means to be alive in a world marked by uncertainty, but also by wonder.
