@馮禮慈 - 2014/12/20

我們來看看《華爾街日報》選出的2014最佳非小說類書,包括了以下幾本: Daniel J. Levitin “The Organized Mind: Thinking Straight in the Age of Information Overload”,講如何在資訊爆炸時代保持頭腦清醒。合我興趣,我將買來看。

Greg Grandin “The Empire of Necessity: Slavery, Freedom, and Deception in the New World”---以史實、資料角度探討奴隸制的「必需」性。會相當沉重。

Mark Miodownik “Stuff Matters”---講人類使用物料如銅、鋁、塑膠、玻璃、水泥等等的歷史與發展,我正在讀,趣味甚高!

Nina Teicholz “The Big Fat Surprise: Why Butter, Meat and Cheese Belong in a Healthy Diet”---此書我已介紹過,講大家最怕的肥豬肉、豬扒、雪糕、蛋糕原來是健康食品!不是胡言,你將不斷讀到這驚世大平反的報道和資訊。

以上是2014最佳非小說類書中幾本重要作品,是本年對人類文明一小小貢獻,大家不妨珍惜,讀讀。

《時代雜誌》2014最佳非小說類書包括:

Elizabeth Kolbert “The Sixth Extinction: An Unnatural History”---年度熱門最佳書本之一,講人類「即將」面臨第六次滅絕!問你驚唔驚?

Randall Munroe “What If? Serious Scientific Answers to Absurd Hypothetical Questions” ---另一年度熱門最佳書本之一,以認真的科學解答一些荒謬的假設問題,有趣。

Kerry Howley “Thrown”---講美國新熱潮「綜合格鬥」。

以上是專家們挑選過的精品中之精品,大家快找來讀讀!
