The astonishing true story of the tiger that claimed a record 437 human lives“Gripping.” —Nature • “Thrilling. Fascinating. Exciting.” —Wall Street Journal • "Riveting. Haunting.” —Scientific AmericanNepal, c. 1900: A lone tigress began stalking humans, moving like a phantom through the lush foothills of the Himalayas. As the death toll reached an astonishing 436 lives, a young local hunter was dispatched to stop the man-eater before it struck again. This is the extraordinary true story of the "Champawat Man-Eater," the deadliest animal in recorded history.One part pulse-pounding thriller, one part soulful natural history of the endangered Royal Bengal tiger, No Beast So Fierce is Dane Huckelbridge’s gripping nonfiction account of the Champawat tiger, which terrified northern India and Nepal from 1900 to 1907, and Jim Corbett, the legendary hunter who pursued it. Huckelbridge’s masterful telling also reveals that the tiger, Corbett, and the forces that brought them together are far more complex and fascinating than a simple man-versus-beast tale. At the turn of the twentieth century as British rule of India tightened and bounties were placed on tiger’s heads, a tigress was shot in the mouth by a poacher. Injured but alive, it turned from its usual hunting habits to easier prey—humans. For the next seven years, this man-made killer terrified locals, growing bolder with every kill. Colonial authorities, desperate for help, finally called upon Jim Corbett, a then-unknown railroad employee of humble origins who had grown up hunting game through the hills of Kumaon. Like a detective on the trail of a serial killer, Corbett tracked the tiger’s movements in the dense, hilly woodlands—meanwhile the animal shadowed Corbett in return. Then, after a heartbreaking new kill of a young woman whom he was unable to protect, Corbett followed the gruesome blood trail deep into the forest where hunter and tiger would meet at last.Drawing upon on-the-ground research in the Indian Himalayan region where he retraced Corbett’s footsteps, Huckelbridge brings to life one of the great adventure stories of the twentieth century. And yet Huckelbridge brings a deeper, more complex story into focus, placing the episode into its full context for the first time: that of colonialism’s disturbing impact on the ancient balance between man and tiger; and that of Corbett’s own evolution from a celebrated hunter to a  principled conservationist who in time would earn fame for his devotion to saving the Bengal tiger and its habitat. Today the Corbett Tiger Reserve preserves 1,200 km of wilderness; within its borders is Jim Corbett National Park, India’s oldest and most prestigious national park and a vital haven for the very animals Corbett once hunted.An unforgettable tale, magnificently told, No Beast So Fierce is an epic of beauty, terror, survival, and redemption for the ages.

Every general manager today all the way up to the CEO is expected by his or her stakeholders to achieve new breakthroughs in performance and fast. Those who don't make visible progress toward that goal within the first year or two will likely find themselves looking for another job. It is precisely because of this growing breakthrough imperative that managers today, whether in corporations or nonprofits, need to get off to a fast start. They don't have time for mistakes or for going back and redoing what they should have done right in the first place. But, despite the intensity of these pressures, despite the high expectations and short time frames, a number of CEOs and general managers turn in truly exceptional results. How do they meet and exceed the breakthrough imperativeTo answer this question, consultants and former managers Mark Gottfredson and Steve Schaubert interviewed more than forty CEOs from both industry and the nonprofit sector, conducted an intensive study of what successful managers do right and what some do wrong and drew on their own combined fifty-plus years of experience at Bain & Company, where their insights have consistently been found in the pages of the Harvard Business Review. Together they came up with the four straightforward principles deceptively simple yet remarkably powerful that everyone must follow to succeed at achieving breakthrough results: 1. Costs and prices always decline2. Competitive position determines options3. Customers and profit pools don't stand still4. Simplicity gets results Although seemingly simplistic, mastering these four laws means mastering the basics of great management a foundation on which to build the rest of one's management strategy. Whether you're managing a small work group or a multinational corporation, a single division or an entire nonprofit, The Breakthrough Imperative presents these core laws of business to help you determine where you are, just how far you can go, and how to get there with stellar results.

Having survived the bloody Battle of New Orleans and the loss of their ironclad Yazoo River, captain Samuel Bowater, engineer Hieronymus Taylor, and the survivors of their crew are given new orders -- take command of an ironclad warship being built in Memphis, Tennessee.Bowater and his men take passage upriver from "Mississippi" Mike Sullivan, one of the wild, undisciplined captains of the River Defense Squadron, only to find, on their arrival, that their ship is not even half built and the enemy is closing fast. Against their better judgment, Bowater and crew join forces with the mercurial Sullivan on board his ad hoc river gunship the General Page. Outnumbered and outgunned, the Confederates once again fling themselves bravely at the overwhelming power of the Yankee invaders. The deadly back-and-forth fight along the Mississippi ends at last in the massive naval battle of Memphis, and the near-suicidal attempt by the Confederates to hold back the Northern flood.Filled with wild characters and heart-pounding action, and set against the bold backdrop of the Civil War, Thieves of Mercy is a worthy successor to the W. Y. Boyd Award-winning novel Glory in the Name, the book Bernard Cornwell lauded as "by far, the best Civil War novel I've read."

Shaped by cartoons and museum dioramas, our vision of Paleolithic times tends to feature fur-clad male hunters fearlessly attacking mammoths while timid women hover fearfully behind a boulder. In fact, recent research has shown that this vision bears little relation to reality.The field of archaeology has changed dramatically in the past two decades, as women have challenged their male colleagues' exclusive focus on hard artifacts such as spear points rather than tougher to find evidence of women's work. J. M. Adovasio and Olga Soffer are two of the world's leading experts on perishable artifacts such as basketry, cordage, and weaving. In The Invisible Sex, the authors present an exciting new look at prehistory, arguing that women invented all kinds of critical materials, including the clothing necessary for life in colder climates, the ropes used to make rafts that enabled long-distance travel by water, and nets used for communal hunting. Even more important, women played a central role in the development of language and social life in short, in our becoming human. In this eye-opening book, a new story about women in prehistory emerges with provocative implications for our assumptions about gender today.

《稀缺》： 在长期研究穷人和扶贫的过程中，塞德希尔.穆来纳森发现他和穷人的焦虑竟然类似：穷人缺钱，他缺时间。在这一现象基础上，他与普林斯顿大学心理学教授埃尔德.沙菲尔行了大量的实验室研究和现实调查，却发现了一个存在于世人中间的惊人真相：穷困之人会永远缺钱，而忙碌之人会永远缺时间。 　　但是，一步的研究证实：这些都是表面现象。因为即便是给穷人一笔钱，给拖延症患者一些时间，他们也无法变得富足和高效。实际上，在长期性的资源（钱、时间）稀缺中，人们已经形成了“管窥”之见，只能看到“管子”之中的事物，虽然这有可能为我们带来“专注红利”（短期的富裕或效率），但是从长远来看，这种“专心致志”反而会让我们产生“权衡式思维”，不断增加我们的带宽负担——当1元钱的价值在穷人与富人之间产生了巨大差异时，当印度金奈的街头小贩们陷了无止境的借贷压力时，当每个人都处在多任务处理的“杂耍”状态中时……理性的经济模型和行为方式都会变得不再符合自身的内在逻辑。稀缺会俘获我们的大脑，渐渐让我们失去认知能力和执行控制力，变得更加愚笨和冲动。 　　《稀缺 我们是如何陷贫穷与忙碌的》是《思考，快与慢》作者丹尼尔.卡尼曼推崇的行为经济学新作，它旨在揭示稀缺心态的各种复杂成因，并提出以“余闲”牵制稀缺的应对之法。所以，只有对“带宽”行合理的规划和管理，我们才有可能从稀缺走向富足。 《精要主义》： 你是否也觉得无情的压力正在碾压生活中那些美好的东西？ 你是否经常感到疲惫异常却又没有发挥所能？ 你是否发现自己只擅长做琐碎小事？ 你是否感到自己总是忙忙碌碌却效率低下？ 你是否觉得自己的时间总是被别人的安排乱？ 你是否觉得自己一直在奔波，却总是到不了任何地方？ 若想要*限度成就真正重要之事，切忌贪多求全，事事应允。如果答案不是一个确定的Yes，就是一个肯定的No。只有摒弃琐碎而无足轻重的生活，才能过真正重要而有意义的人生。 精要主义主张只做该做的事情。它向“我可以拥有一切”和“我可以做好一切”的主流论断发起攻，倡导“在合适的时机，以恰当的方式，追求合适的事情”。它旨在让人们重新掌控自己的选择权，自主决定如何支配宝贵的时间和精力——而不再是许可他人替我们作出选择。 本书介绍了精要主义者的思维模式，并将这种模式转化为一种系统化的程序，助你拜托无意义的多数，专注有意义的少数，成就有意义、有目的的人生。对于那些想要重新掌控自己的健康、幸福与快乐的人来说，这是一本***之作。 《慢决策》： 在极速时代，大多数人已经习惯于快速反应。无论是在工作还是生活中，我们时刻感受到时间的挤压与催促。 你是否每天都被“速度”和“效率”压得喘不过气？ 你是否想快速完成每一个任务，却发现哪个都没做好？ 你是否曾在仓惶中做出过令你后悔的决定？ 你是否对拖延深恶痛绝，又无可奈何？ 华尔街金融畅销书《泥鸽靶》《火柴大王》作者帕特诺伊，用《慢决策》颠覆你的常识，重新定义“慢”的智慧。 这是一本讨论决策时机及教你如何在充分思考后果断下决定的书。“慢决策”主张等待是生活的常态，只要延迟得恰到好处，在做决定前等待一段时间尽可能搜集更多信息，行动起来便可得心应手。 帕特诺伊教授通过探访百余位专家，从投资管理、喜剧表演、比赛、军事策略制定、创新发明，甚至说话、约会、道歉等对时机的正确把握中，揭时间管理与延迟决策的谜团。“慢决策”才能够领导“快时代”！

汉朝与唐朝，是中华历*为强盛的两个朝代。 汉朝的国号，成为了一个民族永远的名字；唐朝的国号，成为了异域之人称呼华夏儿女的代号。 重现汉唐雄风，是中华民族伟大的复兴的模版，也是目标。 而处于汉唐历史中间地带的两晋、南北朝与五代，则是中华民族历*为动荡、*民不聊生的时代，彼时战乱不止、神州陆沉，各路枭雄与野心家你方唱罢我登场…… 《蔡东藩少年中华史》汉、晋、南北朝、唐、五代篇六册，讲述了从西汉到五代的千年历史。这一千年，既有种华族民族飞速崛起的豪迈篇章，也有神州陆沉、民不聊生的黑暗记忆。读者可以从中读懂兴衰成败，看清历史真相。

　　当简·爱和罗切斯特跨越身份地位的差异，终于要宣誓结合时，一个疯女人的出现粉碎了简·爱的一切梦想，她就是一直被关在阁楼里的罗切斯特的妻子。她毁掉了庄园，弄瞎了罗切斯特，自己也葬身火海，但也因此成全了简·爱与罗切斯特。《阁楼上的疯女人：女性作家与19世纪文学想象》从文学史中捞出了“疯女人”这一类别，并使之发扬光大。这些疯女人公然无视“妇道”，作恶多端。但本书作者却认为，在每个温顺善良的女人背后，都或多或少拖着一个癫狂的影子。 　　《阁楼上的疯女人》被誉为20世纪女性主义文学批评的《圣经》，也是当代美国文论中的经典。在这部著作中，作者重读了19世纪著名女作家如简·奥斯汀、玛丽·雪莱、勃朗特姐妹、艾米莉·狄金森等人的作品，破了民族、地域与时间等多方面限制的疆界，将19世纪的英美女性文学视为一个整体行了综合研究。此书自问世以来，以其激的批评姿态和对19世纪英美女性文学的全新阐释，对西方文学与文化研究产生了深远的影响。

《本草纲目图典》是在明代医家李时珍所著《本草纲目》52卷本基础上，精选精绘编集而成的一部书。全书分上、下两册，共介绍了670余种常用药物，严格依照《本草纲目》部、类归属系统，分条逐一文字介绍，并配以精美中药彩图。每种药物，以“释名”确定名称，“集解”叙述产地、形态、栽培和采集方法，“修治”说明炮制法，“气味”“主治”“发明”分析药物的性味和功用，“附方”选辑古代医家和民间流传的方剂。

我很赞成人有多付笔墨，为文可写小说也可写写散文、诗歌，书法可练练隶、篆、正、草，拍照片亦然，民俗、纪实、风光、小品都能拍。从某个角度说，这样也算是人“尽”其才，把艺术才华价值*化。

这本影集中，你可以看到北京农贸市场的商贩们，或者他们也为你的生活提供着服务；可以感受到我的老家，安徽北部小城镇上人们的生活；可以透过照片触摸到大西北地区人们的生活样貌；可以看到中国一些地区农民辛勤劳作的场景；可以发现一些你不曾了解的某地民俗场面，甚至还有一些令人触动感伤的照片。普通百姓生活的不易，我从不刻意表现，却自然而然地出现在画面中，希望能引起大家对生活环境的爱惜，希望能觅得对生活思考的答案：你我平凡的生活，你我平凡生活的小城，你我生活中的人们，你我生活中还有什么是难忘的？
