For hundreds of years, the most popular books in the Western world next to the Bible were bestiaries, fanciful encyclopedias collecting all of human knowledge and mythology about the animal kingdom. In these pages, eagles and elephants lived next to griffins and sea monsters.

You'll learn about the biggest bug ever, the smallest animal in the world, and the real creatures that inspired the fabled unicorns. You'll discover how birds learned to fly, why cats rub against your legs, and a thousand other facts that will make you look at nature in a wonderfully new way. Did you knowThe fastest animal in the world is the peregrine falcon, which reaches speeds of over 200 miles per hours. Circus ringmaster P.T. Barnum fooled many when he displayed a mermaid carcass that was later proved to be monkey bones sewed together with the body of a fish.

Louder Than Hell
Louder Than Hell
Wiederhorn, Jon
¥121.80
From Sabbath to Slipknot, Louder Than Hell is the definitive oral history of heavy metal, straight from the mouths of those who defined it. The book was crafted from more than four hundred interviews conducted over the past twenty-five years by music journalists Jon Wiederhorn and Katherine Turman. They have unearthed never-before-heard stories, eye-opening admissions, and the truth behind some of metal's wildest moments, such as the industrial accident that forever changed the sound of Black Sabbath, the experiences that got Dave Mustaine booted from Metallica, and the bloodletting rituals of death metal bands Morbid Angel and Deicide. Louder Than Hell is packed with raw and unflinching commentary from icons of metal from its inception in the late 1960s to the current day, including Ozzy Osbourne, Bruce Dickinson, Eddie Van Halen, Tommy Lee, Lars Ulrich, James Hetfield, Kerry King, Vince Neil, Axl Rose, Jonathan Davis, Corey Taylor, Pete Steele, Dave Grohl, Trent Reznor, Marilyn Manson, Rob Zombie, Dimebag Darrell, and hundreds of others.From groundbreaking innovations such as the dawn of distortion and the birth of cookie monster vocals to amazing tales of destruction and wild sexual escapades, Louder Than Hell has it all, like the evolution of Judas Priest's seminal powerchord sound and patented leather-and-studs look; the provocative exploits of the Sunset Strip scene; and the truth behind the Norwegian church burnings and murders that became synonymous with black metal. Discover how Faith No More accidentally created rap-metal and who invented the devil horns and how most people do it wrong.Louder Than Hell is the definitive look behind the curtain at one of our most dynamic and enduring musical genres. To paraphrase Spinal Tap, how much more metal can you getNone, none more metal.

The Living I Ching
The Living I Ching
Deng, Ming-Dao
¥121.80
From the author of 365 Tao and a leading authority on Taoist practice and philosophy comes a completely innovative translation of the classic text of Eastern wisdom, the I Ching.The I Ching, or Book of Changes, is an ancient manual for divining the future. Its basic text is traditionally attributed to the Chinese King Wen, the Duke of Zhou, and the philosopher Confucius. By tossing coins, rolling dice, using a computer, or, more traditionally, counting yarrow stalks, one can create a seemingly random combination of heads or tails, odd or even, yin or yang, to construct six lines (for example, solid for odd numbers or broken for even numbers). These six lines make up a hexagram that provides advice, predictions, and answers to questions on topics from love and career to family and finance.While known mostly as a tool of divination, the I Ching is also a repository of centuries of wisdom. Most of the existing translations offer either dense, scholarly commentary or little more than fortune-cookie platitudes, but in The Living I Ching Deng Ming-Dao takes a more holistic approach. His new translation recovers the true wisdom and philosophy of this ancient classic, so that the I Ching becomes more than just a book of fortune-telling -- it becomes a manual for living.

10 Conversations You Need to Have with Your Children
10 Conversations You Need to Have with Your Children
Boteach, Shmuley
¥121.80
Why do I have to repeat everythingWhy does every conversation end in an argumentCommunicating with our children. Conversing. Connecting. When did it become so difficultAnd how do we begin to change it for the betterThis book was designed to help parents answer these important questions, and it is based on two fundamental ideas: The first is that there are no bad children, and no deliberately bad parents -- but that sometimes, despite the best of intentions on both sides, there can be bad relationships between parents and children. The second is that, as parents, we must do everything we can to save those relationships, to reach out and really communicate with our children, because it is only through talking to them that we can create an environment for inspiration and change. In this compelling book, Shmuley Boteach, passionate social commentator and outspoken relationship guru, walks you through the critical conversations, including: cherishing childhood; developing intellectual curiosity; knowing who you are and what you want to become; learning to forgive; realizing the importance of family and tradition; being fearless and courageous. As a father of eight, Rabbi Shmuley speaks from a wealth of experience. He has written a book for parents of children of all ages, from toddlers, who are just beginning to become aware of the world around them, to adolescents, who must learn to navigate all sorts of tricky social and academic pressures. 10 Conversations will help you stay connected to your children so that they develop the kind of strong moral character that leads to rich, meaningful lives.
American Eden
American Eden
Graham, Wade
¥121.80
From Frederick Law Olmsted to Richard Neutra, Michelle Obama to our neighbors, Americans throughout history have revealed themselves in the gardens they create. Melding biography, history, and cultural commentary, American Eden presents a dynamic, sweeping, one-of-a-kind look at this country's landscapes and the visionaries behind them.Monticello's gardens helped Jefferson reconcile his feelings about slavery. Edith Wharton's gardens made her feel more European. Isamu Noguchi's and Robert Smithson's experiments reinvigorated the age-old exchange between art and the garden. Manhattan's High Line park, reclaimed from freight train tracks, reimagined an urban landscape. Moving deftly through time and place across America's diverse landscapes from Revolutionary-era Virginia to turn-of-the-century Chicago to 1960s suburban California and featuring an equally diverse cast of landscape-makers, whether artists, architects, housewives, robber barons, politicians, or dreamers, Wade Graham vividly unfolds the larger cultural history through more personal dramas.Beautifully illustrated, American Eden is at once a different kind of garden book and a different kind of American history, one that offers a compelling, untold story that mirrors and illuminates our nation's invention and constant reinvention of itself.

《“没话找话”指南:给社交别扭人的破冰实操话术》 初入新的社交场合,你有没有难以开口的困境?明明想主动说点什么,但总是无从说起?为什么别人好像有谈不完的话题,你却只能露出尴尬又不失礼貌的微笑? 短小的寒暄闲聊是人与人之间建立关系的基础。但在陌生的社交场合中,鲜少有人能做到和陌生人谈笑自如,这让我们在无意中失去了许多扩展有益人际网络的机会。本书中,弗来明博士从内在和外在两个方面,教授了闲聊的关键要点,从正确的态度、话术,到如何走动、如何离场,甚至举手投足的肢体语言。*重要的是,她列出了一系列操作简单、令人难忘的对话策略,让你可以顺利掌握得体的社交对话技巧,摆脱尴尬的谈话场面,创造安全稳定的社交空间。 《倾听的力量:影响他人*简单又*困难的关键技能》 本书作者是美国著名的心理医生和商务沟通教练,从事商务沟通培训超过30年,本书将其长期以来的临床经验和培训经验相结合,用切中肯綮的文风和大量真实案例说透了沟通的关键——倾听。读完本书你会发现,只要有方法可依,沟通并不困难,而且一次得当的倾听或许会给你带来持久的高质量关系。 《沉默契约:不明说,别人怎么会懂》 沉默契约就是人际关系中未曾言明的“潜规则”,它源自你未说出口但又认为他人应该明了、应予以尊重的一些设想、期望和观念。这些问题看似不大,但因为爱面子、怕冲突、不想伤感情,你从未挑明,却没想过每次寄希望于对方心领神会都只是在增加隐患,陷关系于分崩离析的境地!本书从沉默契约的原生家庭源头讲起,逐一破解了我们与爱人、父母、子女、朋友、同事、老板间的沉默契约,将我们身边每天发生的故事分析拆解开来,并提供了实用好掌握的解决方案。*后它通过“沉默契约工具包”,分步骤、手把手地教我们做好沟通的每一步,打开彼此的心结。比起转弯抹角、暗中许愿,学会主导这些对话,才能维护好高质量的成熟关系! 《听懂另一半:从沟通差异到弦外之音》 黛博拉·泰南在本书中分析了两性沟通失败的一个重要原因:男性和女性的沟通方式本质上是不同的。这种不同并非天生,而是在成长过程中建构的。女性使用的是建立联系的语言,更注重亲密性;男性使用的是确立地位的语言,更追求独立性。因此,在两性间的对话中,双方的首要目标并不一致。这种差异与感情深浅无关,却造成了不少误解,经常让双方都感到委屈。泰南会告诉你,了解了这种差异的起因和表现,你会更深入、*地理解另一性的所思所感。
