Hank Aaron and the Home Run That Changed America
¥88.56
Baseball has witnessed more than 125,000 home runs. Many have altered the outcome of games, and some have decided pennants and become legend. But no dinger has had greater impact than Hank Aaron's 715th home run. His historic blast on April 8, 1974, lifted him above Babe Ruth on the all-time list, an achievement that shook not only baseball but our nation itself. Aaron's magnificent feat provoked bigotry and shattered prejudice, inspired a generation, emboldened a flagging civil rights movement, and called forth the demons that haunted Aaron's every step and turned what should have been a joyous pursuit into a hellish nightmare.In this powerful recollection, Tom Stanton penetrates the myth of Aaron's chase and uncovers the compelling story behind the most consequential athletic achievement of the past fifty years. Three decades after Hank Aaron reached the pinnacle of the national pastime, and now as Barry Bonds makes history of his own, Stanton unfolds a tale rich with drama, poignancy, and suspense to bring to life the elusive spirit of an American hero.

Hercule Poirot and the Greenshore Folly
¥67.69
As a favour to an old friend, Hercule Poirot finds himself at a summer fete in Devon, taking part not in a Treasure Hunt, but a Murder Hunt, in this never-before-published novella version of Dead Man’s Folly. Now released for the first time in print in this illustrated collector’s edition. Sir George and Lady Stubbs, the hosts of a village fête, hit upon the novel idea of staging a mock murder mystery. In good faith, Ariadne Oliver, the well known crime writer, agrees to organise their murder hunt. But at the last minute Ariadne calls her friend Hercule Poirot for his expert assistance. Instinctively, she senses that something sinister is about to happen… In 1954, Agatha Christie wrote this novella with the intention of donating the proceeds to a fund set up to buy stained glass windows for her local church at Churston Ferrers, and she filled the story with references to local places, including her own home of Greenway. But having completed it, she decided instead to expand the story into a full-length novel, Dead Man’s Folly, which was published two years later, and donated a Miss Marple story (Greenshaw’s Folly) to the church fund instead. Unseen for sixty years, Hercule Poirot and the Greenshore Folly is finally published in this collector’s hardback edition. The book includes a jacket painting, illustrations and exclusive introduction by Tom Adams, Agatha Christie’s most famous cover artist, who is back illustrating Agatha Christie for the first time in more than 30 years.

世界股份公司史:“病理”与“战争”的500年
¥39.99
在产业革命的时代背景下,股份公司这一集资本筹措与生产为一体的经营系统发挥着巨大作用,为人类文明的发展与经济的增长做出了巨大贡献。但1929年的世界经济大危机、2008年的雷曼危机等都告诉人们,支撑我们这个世界的经济系统并非坚如磐石,它既有益于改善人们的生活,同时也会让人们陷无妄之灾。 本书所论述的股份公司是指以所有权与经营权分离,以股东拥有决定权为前提,公售股的公司或其早期形态的法人。全书共分为两大部分共十二个章节,极力再现了股份公司诞生的那个时代,发掘其产生的“动因”,探讨其所内含的“病理”。人们习惯性地在公司工作,极其自然地为公司“效忠”,但大概不知道为什么。作者对此行了分析。作者也着意探寻了,股份公司在未来是否仍能作为经济发展的原动力继续发挥作用,是否会出现某种新的要素促使股份公司发生质的改变。
