Cat Among the Pigeons (Poirot)
¥61.51
Unpleasant things are going on in an exclusive school for girls – things like murder… Late one night, two teachers investigate a mysterious flashing light in the sports pavilion, while the rest of the school sleeps. There, among the lacrosse sticks, they stumble upon the body of the unpopular games mistress – shot through the heart from point blank range. The school is thrown into chaos when the ‘cat’ strikes again. Unfortunately, schoolgirl Julia Upjohn knows too much. In particular, she knows that without Hercule Poirot’s help, she will be the next victim…
Crooked House
¥58.47
A wealthy Greek businessman is found dead at his London home… The Leonides were one big happy family living in a sprawling, ramshackle mansion. That was until the head of the household, Aristide, was murdered with a fatal barbiturate injection. Suspicion naturally falls on the old man’s young widow, fifty years his junior. But the murderer has reckoned without the tenacity of Charles Hayward, fiance of the late millionare’s granddaughter…
The Labours of Hercules (Poirot)
¥61.51
Poirot sets himself a challenge before he retires – to solve 12 cases which correspond with the labours of his classical Greek namesake… In appearance Hercule Poirot hardly resembled an ancient Greek hero. Yet – reasoned the detective – like Hercules he had been responsible for ridding society of some of its most unpleasant monsters. So, in the period leading up to his retirement, Poirot made up his mind to accept just twelve more cases: his self-imposed ‘Labours’. Each would go down in the annals of crime as a heroic feat of deduction.
Mrs McGinty’s Dead (Poirot)
¥61.51
An old widow is brutally killed in the parlour of her cottage… ‘Mrs McGinty’s dead!’ ‘How did she die?’ ‘Down on one knee, just like I!’ The old children’s game now seemed rather tasteless. The real Mrs McGinty was killed by a crushing blow to the back of the head and her pitifully small savings were stolen. Suspicion falls immediately on her lodger, hard up and out of a job. Hercule Poirot has other ideas – unaware that his own life is now in great danger…
The Pale Horse
¥58.47
A priest’s death leads to sinister goings-on in an old country pub… To understand the strange goings on at The Pale Horse Inn, Mark Easterbrook knew he had to begin at the beginning. But where exactly was the beginning? Was it the savage blow to the back of Father Gorman’s head? Or was it when the priest’s assailant searched him so roughly he tore the clergyman’s cassock? Or could it have been the priest’s visit, just minutes before, to a woman on her death bed? Or was there a deeper significance to the violent squabble which Mark Easterbrook had himself witnessed earlier? Wherever the beginning lies, Mark and his sidekick, Ginger Corrigan, may soon have cause to wish they’d never found it…
Poirot’s Early Cases (Poirot)
¥61.51
Captain Hastings recounts 18 of Poirot’s early cases from the days before he was famous… Hercule Poirot delighted in telling people that he was probably the best detective in the world. So turning back the clock to trace eighteen of the cases which helped establish his professional reputation was always going to be a fascinating experience. With his career still in its formative years, the panache with which Hercule Poirot could solve even the most puzzling mystery is obvious. Chronicled by his friend Captain Hastings, these eighteen early cases - from theft and robbery to kidnapping and murder - were all guaranteed to test Poirot’s soon-to-be-famous ‘little grey cells’ to their absolute limit.
Political Peoplehood
¥247.21
For more than three decades, Rogers M. Smith has been one of the leading scholars of the role of ideas in American politics, policies, and history. Over time, he has developed the concept of "e;political peoples,"e; a category that is much broader and more fluid than legal citizenship, enabling Smith to offer rich new analyses of political communities, governing institutions, public policies, and moral debates.This book gathers Smith's most important writings on peoplehood to build a coherent theoretical and historical account of what peoplehood has meant in American political life, informed by frequent comparisons to other political societies. From the revolutionary-era adoption of individual rights rhetoric to today's battles over the place of immigrants in a rapidly diversifying American society, Smith shows how modern America's growing embrace of overlapping identities is in tension with the providentialism and exceptionalism that continue to make up so much of what many believe it means to be an American.A major work that brings a lifetime of thought to bear on questions that are as urgent now as they have ever been, Political Peoplehood will be essential reading for social scientists, political philosophers, policy analysts, and historians alike.
The Effective Executive
¥99.65
The measure of the executive, Peter Drucker reminds us, is the ability to "get the right things done." This usually involves doing what other people have overlooked as well as avoiding what is unproductive. Intelligence, imagination, and knowledge may all be wasted in an executive job without the acquired habits of mind that mold them into results. Drucker identifies five practices essential to business effectiveness that can, and must, be learned: Management of time Choosing what to contribute to the practical organization Knowing where and how to mobilize strength for best effect Setting up the right priorities And Knitting all of them together with effective decision making Ranging widely through the annals of business and government, Peter Drucker demonstrates the distinctive skill of the executive and offers fresh insights into old and seemingly obvious business situations.

Dataclysm: Who We Are (When We Think No One’s Looking)
¥73.58
An irreverent, provocative, and visually fascinating look at what our online lives reveal about who we really are – and how this deluge of data will transform the science of human behaviour. Big Data is used to spy on us, hire and fire us, and sell us things we don't need. In ‘Dataclysm’, Christian Rudder, founder of one of the world’s biggest dating websites OkCupid, puts this flood of information to an entirely different use: understanding human nature. Drawing on terabytes of data from Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, OkCupid, and many other sites, Rudder examines the terrain of human experience to answer a range of questions: Does it matter where you went to school? How racist are we? How do political views alter relationships? Philosophers, psychologists, gene hunters and neuroscientists have tried to explain our flaws and foibles. Rudder shows that in today's era of social media, a powerful new approach is possible, one that reveals how we actually behave when we think no one's looking. Outrageous and illuminating, ‘Dataclysm’, is a portrait of our essential selves – dark, absurd, occasionally noble – and a first look at a revolution in the making.

明清小說:歷史與文學之間
¥63.68
明清兩代為中國史上轉折時期,小說呈現從古典走向近代之趨勢,其於反映社會複雜多歧及時代急遽變遷,誠屬不可多得之文化寶庫。本書題名《明清小說:歷史與文學之間》,即以此為鵠的。書中所述,過半乃明清小說基礎知識,作為入門階梯固宜,視曰研究之資恐有所不逮。
呼蘭河傳
¥53.77
《呼蘭河傳》是民國才女蕭紅在香港創作的一部長篇小説,也是她的巔峰之作。小說以作者的家鄉和童年生活為原型,描繪出了作者記憶中的家鄉呼蘭——上世紀二、三十年代一個東北小鎮的單調與美麗、人民的善良與愚昧。全書七章:一、二章寫小城風情,三、四章談家中親疏人物,五、六、七章摹繪獨立旁枝人物。七章可各自獨立又渾然一體。
道教史——道家及預備道教底種種法術
¥65.99
"既是部道教專史,也是道教研究的傳世經典,國學大師陳寅恪心服之作“寅恪昔年略治佛道二家之學,然於道教僅取以供史事之補證,於佛教亦止比較原文與諸譯本字句之異同,至其微言大義之所在,則未能言之也。後讀許地山先生所著佛道二教史論文,關於教義本體俱有精深之評述。心服之餘,彌用自愧,遂捐棄故技,不敢復談此事矣。”——陳寅恪
日本論——在“反日”與“哈日”之間的經典論述
¥57.63
《日本論》是一本薄薄的小冊子,雖然沒有嚴密的邏輯概念體系,作者卻憑著對日本入木三分的了解和通透的見識,刪繁就簡,直取日本文化神韻。相比之下,既沒有到過日本、也不懂日語的潘乃德的日本論,不能不顯得有點隔靴搔癢、拐彎抹角。當年國民黨元老胡漢民曾這樣高度評價《日本論》:“大抵批評一種歷史民族,不在乎說他的好壞,而只要還他一個究竟是甚麼?和為甚麼這樣?季陶先生這本書完全從此種態度出發,所以做了日本人的律師,同時又做了他的審判官,而且是極公平正直不受賄託,不為勢力所左右的律師審判官。……這一種科學的批判的精神是我們應該都提倡的。”確實,假如要在二十世紀的中國尋找一個懂日本的人,這個人恐怕非戴季陶莫屬。
我是怎樣恢復健康的
¥58.70
人生不過數十寒暑,從短短的人生看地球的生命,可說是無始無終。說得消極一點,人壽幾何,一時的健康,又值得甚麼。可是要從積極方面講,人類既不能不生存,就不得不謀生存得健康。健康是幸福的基礎條件之一,這是誰也不能否認的。健康雖然如此的重要,但是許多人,尤其我們中國人,往往對於健康的維持,漠不關心,所以“東方病夫之國”的雅號,以前和現在,都得加在我們身上,這是很不幸而且可恥的。

She will also find something that all women like herself fear: a man who might actually be good for her.
