After catching her husband having an affair and being fired from her job, Maggie Walsh suddenly finds her perfectly organized existence has become a perfect mess. She decides, for the first time in her life, to do something daring -- and flees to her best friend, Emily, in the faraway wonderland of Los Angeles. In this mecca of tanned, beautiful bodies, unsvelte, uncool Maggie is decidedly a fish out of water. Yet, overnight, she's mixing with film folk, pitching *s, even experimenting with sex -- and discovering that the end of a marriage is not the end of the world.

Bestselling author Marian Keyes has delighted readers with the lives, loves, and foibles of the irrepressible Walsh sisters and their eccentric mammy. In this Life in the Big Apple is perfect for Anna. She has the best job in the world, a lovely apartment, and great friends. Then one morning, she wakes up in her mammy's house in Dublin with stitches in her face, a dislocated knee, hands smashed up, and no memory at all of what happened. As soon as she's able, Anna's flying back to Manhattan, mystified but determined to find out how her life turned upside down. As her past slowly begins coming back to her, she sets out on an outrageous quest—involving lilies, psychics, mediums, and anyone who can point her in the right direction. Marrying life's darker bits with wild humor and tender wit, Anybody Out Thereis a strange and wonderfully charming look at love here and ever after.

本書是關於一件幾乎為人遺忘的事件的研究，此事件發生在1899年，當時有些新界居民試圖以武力阻止香港政府接收，在因而引發的戰鬥中有大量村民戰死。後來，鄉村和香港政府都嘗試把整件事件忘卻，以便重新開始，但是，這段令人痛心的往事還是應當為後世所知。那些亡逝者應當受世人憶記。當時的港督卜力（Henry Blake）爵士採取人道和明智的政策，在戰事結束後成為港府治理新界的標準方式，這些以官民友好合作為基礎的政策，也不應湮沒。因此，我非常感激中華書局決定出版此書中譯本，因為這樣可以令這段故事有更多讀者知悉。我希望這些讀者包括許多年輕人。愈來愈多人有興趣認識香港歷史，教授香港史的學校也愈來愈多；此事件是新界歷史中的重要一頁，希望它能令更多人對香港歷史產生興趣。

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.
