这是一次开阔眼界、滋养心灵的世界中餐之旅。 从南非开普敦到萨斯喀彻温省的小城镇，家庭经营的中餐馆是全球移民、社区和美味食物的标志。中餐馆是远道而来的定居者的文化前哨，是点心、北京烤鸭和创造性烹饪混合体的提供者，是更大社会力量的缩影。它们是对时间、历史和地点的一种洞察力。 作者兼电影制作人卓群自称是 "散居海外的中国人"，他通过将世界各地的中国厨房里的厨师、企业家、劳工和梦想家的无数个人故事联系起来，编织了一个全球叙事。在这些厨房的门背后，隐藏着一个耐人寻味的悖论，这也是许多社区的特点：中国移民如何抵制--或经常被阻止--完全同化到他们新家园的社会结构中。在这两种情况下，他们经济生存的引擎--中餐馆及其食物--已经与世界各地的城镇无缝地交织在一起。 《吃了吗？》这本无畏的游记包含了壮丽的风景、冒险和偶然性，描绘了一幅活生生的全球移民地图，最终揭示了美味...(展开全部)

This book has been selected in the “Book Jackets and Covers” category for the 2021 Association of University Presses “Book, Jacket, and Journal Show.” This book, written by an internationally acknowledged pioneer in endocrine surgery, is intended as advice for aspiring medical professionals, in particular for young people from around the world who are hoping to attend one of the great medical schools in the US or the UK, such as Harvard or Oxford. In clear, concise language, Dimitrios Linos explains the steps one needs to take to get into a top medical school, succeed as a resident, and become a board certified doctor. Drawing on his many years of experience, Linos discusses the career paths for practicing physicians, how to avoid burnout, and the importance of finding a work-life balance. This is an honest, engaging and thoughtful book, written in an encouraging manner from someone who knows personally the struggles and triumphs of being a doctor and who wants to help others become "the best physician in the world." Professor Linos has eloquently delivered his advice for aspiring physicians. To Dr. Linos’ exhortations, I will add my own: Do not measure your own success using someone else’s ruler … We owe it to ourselves, our patients, our trainees, and our families to wisely choose our professional expectations. Dr. Linos’ advice will help those interested in medicine to understand the established pathways of education and training, and to position themselves to then chart their own course. Gerard M. Doherty, M.D., Moseley Professor of Surgery, Harvard Medical School, Surgeon-in-Chief, Brigham Health and Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Crowley Family Distinguished Chair, Department of Surgery, Brigham and Women’s Hospital … full of insights and pearls from his own extensive experience with the Europe and American systems of medical training and practice. The book emphasizes the best programs and the common pathways, but also discusses the alternatives … It is an excellent practical guidebook not only for students who want to become physicians, but also for medical students, residents and fellows who are in training and for those who teach them. Quan-Yang Duh, M.D. Professor and Chief of Endocrine Surgery, Department of Surgery, University of California, San Francisco An inspirational “must read” for those contemplating or pursuing a career in medicine! Unique is the scope of what is covered: What it means to be a physician, the nuts and bolts of applying to medical school, and understanding specialty training. All delivered with a global perspective. The book is a string of pearls, succinctly and warmly written. The personal reflections on how to balance a successful career with a fulfilling life apply to any profession. Allan Siperstein, M.D., Chair of Endocrine Surgery Department, Cleveland Clinic
