★台灣建築界傳奇異數、揚名國際的宜蘭「田中央聯合建築師事務所」第一本建築作品集。 ★羅東文化工場、櫻花陵園、𠲍𠲍噹森林、幾米廣場、三星張宅⋯⋯背後的建築靈魂。 ★實踐大學建築設計學系主任王俊雄主編，田中央x聶永真全書設計，特殊裝幀。 ★書中收錄：8篇評論專文，8篇跨界對談，84張建築圖，190張珍貴照片。 台灣建築界傳奇異數——「田中央事務所」第一本建築作品集 「擁抱挑戰也看清自己，如履薄冰，匍匐前行。 我們相信『人生的第一次，意志力總是天下無敵。』 這群青年只是從不缺席，從不放棄。 把大家說的記在心裡，一年一年，一點一滴。 環境，本來就不該只為今天的需要而設計。」 ——黃聲遠 田中央工作群，台灣最容易被誤解的一家建築師事務所，至少是空前的一種建築師事務所。這群建築師選擇長期定在宜蘭過活與工作，同時是居民與專業者，二十多年來蔓生而出一大片開放的、從小...(展开全部)

一本以遺失的書籍軼事為主軸的著作。從荷馬、聖經，說到廿世紀自殺身亡的Sylvia Plath。 以往的書籍沒有電子檔，當然這些寫在各種不同材質的文字，既使逃過了人為的破壞，有時也難逃自然的侵蝕。作者畢生研究遺失文學作品，希望藉由這本書的內容，讓我們可以大略瞭解，我們喪失了多少珍貴的經典作品。例如收藏在亞歷山卓圖書館的大量希臘古典作品，因為一場大火，這些作品付之一炬，不過也有如希臘劇作家Menander，本以為遺失的偉大劇作，之後發現翻譯後竟被視為垃圾的其他案例。Kelly認為文字的遺失是常態，不過也因為這些偉大文字的遺失，也讓我們能更珍惜現今我們所擁有的文字閱讀的珍貴資產。
