An eye-opening, myth-shattering examination of what makes us fat, from acclaimed science writer Gary Taubes. In his New York Times best seller, Good Calories, Bad Calories, Taubes argued that our diet’s overemphasis on certain kinds of carbohydrates— not fats and not simply excess calories—has led directly to the obesity epidemic we face today. The result of thorough re...(展开全部)

Building upon his critical work in Good Calories, Bad Calories and presenting fresh evidence for his claim, Gary Taubes revisits the urgent question of what’s making us fat—and how we can change. He reveals the bad nutritional science of the last century—none more damaging or misguided than the “calories-in, calories-out” model of why we get fat—and the good science that has...(展开全部)

Power is one of the most misunderstood—and therefore vilified—concepts in our society. Many assume power is predetermined by personality or wealth, or that it’s gained by strong-arming others. You might even write it off as “dirty” and want nothing to do with it. But by staying away from power, you give it up to someone else who may not have your best interest in mind. We must ...(展开全部)

《高尚的经济学》却以最近二十年来的经济学进展证明，从一开始经济学的主要目的就不是研究如何赚钱，而是剖析人性和人类行为模式，研究经济发展和人类福利水平的提高。经济学是一门前所未有的充满人性的实用科学；经济学家既不是只讲金钱的人，也不是离群索居在象牙塔里搞一堆无聊模型的人，他们和其他的人一样，既受道德律令的制约，也受经济动机的驱动，关注这个世界上的各种热闹，只不过他们关注、分析这些热闹的方法与众不同。长期以来，经济学被视为一门研究如何赚钱的沉闷科学，经济学家也被视为冷酷无情、只讲金钱的一个群体。 《高尚的经济学》还证明了近年来，大量可获得的数据、不断提高的计算能力以及诸如博弈论这样的方法，改变了经济理论和实践，并使经济学家在理解人类真实行为上取得了重大进展。借用心理学、进化论和复杂理论的研究成果，经济学家向政策制定者展现了一幅全新的人类社会图景。经济学家...(展开全部)
