During his lifetime, legendary martial artist Bruce Lee formulated a complex personal philosophy--a synthesis of Eastern and Western ideals--that extolled the virtues of knowledge and total mastery of one's self. However, most of his philosophical writings could be found only within the personal library of the Bruce Lee estate--until now. The Warrior Within is the most comprehe...(展开全部)

At fifty, Pippa Lee seems just fine. The devoted wife of a brilliant publisher thirty years her senior, the proud mother of successful twins, and a lovely and adored friend and neighbour, she seems to glow with feminine serenity. But when her husband spontaneously decides they should cast off Gramercy Park for Marigold Village retirement home, as a "preemptive strike against hi...(展开全部)

他，是问题少年，是打架斗殴的街头混混，是迷途觉醒，自我提升的功夫小子，也是好莱坞的浪荡客，生死绯闻的主角，更是锐意创新的功夫大师，世界知名的功夫片明星。 我们所理解的李小龙，大多是由这些形象和故事串联起来的，唯独缺少对那个特定时空背景的了解，也因此难以切身体会到李小龙的艰辛与不凡。《李小龙：神话和真实》将人物的成长经历与时代背景紧密联系起来，以大量的生活细节描写透视李小龙的成长、蜕变，以及如何成就不凡与伟大的艰辛历程。既可以从中窥见李小龙不同时期拳术体系乃至格斗理念的变化，李小龙的思想与个性也袒露无遗。 如果李小龙还健在，看到这本为他而写的传记，可能会感到欣慰，也可能会大为恼火。因为作者在记录他所取得的成就之余，也一并记录下了他生活中不愿为人知的隐秘。

Bruce is a lot of things. He is a bear. He is a grump. He is a pretty decent cook. And he is a mother. One thing Bruce is not? Santa Claus. But that doesn’t stop the whole forest from lining up to give him their Christmas wishes when he becomes the victim of mistaken identity—again. Kids will howl with laughter as award-winning author-illustrator Ryan T. Higgins delivers anothe...(展开全部)

Paul Theroux celebrates fifty years of wandering the globe by collecting the best writing on travel from the books that shaped him, as a reader and a traveler. Part philosophical guide, part miscellany, part reminiscence, The Tao of Travel enumerates “The Contents of Some Travelers’ Bags” and exposes “Writers Who Wrote about Places They Never Visited”; tracks extreme journeys...(展开全部)

As she did with Martin Guerre, Natalie Zemon Davis here retrieves individual lives from historical obscurity to give us a window onto the early modern world. As women living in the 17th century, Glikl bas Judah Leib, Marie de l'Incarnation, and Maria Sibylla Merian, equally remarkable though very different, were not queens or noblewomen, their every move publicly noted. Rather,...(展开全部)

Many of these last items have been classified as manuscript illumination, but Kathryn M. Rudy argues that these pictures should be called, instead, parch...(展开全部)
