Summary
故事以世界各地陸續傳出的天災為場景，尤其來自海洋的災難，代表大自然對人類的反撲。從挪威、加拿大、日本到德國等都傳出自然災難的警訊，一名漁夫在秘魯離奇失蹤，探油專家們在挪威海域發現奇特的生物佔領數百平方公里的海底，同時英國外海的鯨魚群也出現令人不安的變化，一名挪威的生物學家認為這些變化不單純是意外的演化過程，一名印地安的狼群研究者追蹤這些天災的源由，竟發現了令人不安的事實：一場更大的災難即將降臨。究竟是誰或什麼導致這災難？這些科學家結合一名英國記者探討追蹤出驚人的真相。

作者一步步抽絲剝繭，其故事推理的邏輯和事實呈現與真實事件如初一轍，整編故事的發展精確的以自然科學及生態學的調查研究為結構，使得這本書超越一般懸疑偵探小說的框架，除了有個人心理和政治層面的戲劇效果以外，更進一步探討人在萬物世界中所扮演的角色。

Mrs. KIMBLE
金寶先生和他的三位太太
- by Jennifer Haigh

金寶先生, 一位由牧師轉業為房地產經紀商的男人, 本書描述在他的生命中, 出現的三位太太. 作者藉由這三位太太的性格和與金寶先生的婚姻生活, 映照出金寶先生這位似謎的男人. 一本讓讀者不忍釋手之文學佳...

本書榮獲美國海明威基金會/ 美國筆會針對小說處女作所頒發的最佳小說獎. 此獎為美國文壇新人展露頭角之處

With her debut novel, Mrs. Kimble,Jennifer Haigh created a buzz with its especially unlikable male character, manipulative marrying man Ken Kimble.

The Hemingway Foundation/PEN Award, Americas best-known prize for a distinguished first book of fiction, has been won by Jennifer Haigh for her stunning debut novel, MRS. KIMBLE.

In winning the award, Jennifer Haigh joins an esteemed list of novelists, including Gabriel Brownstein Justin Cronin, Akhil Sharma, Jhumpa Lahiri, Marilynne Robinson, Louis Begley and Chang-rae Lee.

Summary
Haigh's luminous debut novel is the story of the three women who become the wives of Ken Kimble, a minister turned real estate agent. For all three, Kimble remains an elusive man, who at first appears to be each woman's ideal, only to reveal his true colors later on. Haigh introduces Kimble's first wife, Birdie, after he has already abandoned her and their two children, Charlie and Jody. Only 26 when he leaves her, Birdie falls into depression and alcoholism while trying to provide for her children. Kimble meets his second wife, Joan, while engaged to a 19-year-old college dropout. At 39, Joan is recovering from breast cancer and a subsequent mastectomy that she has told no one about. Kimble is a welcome presence in the lonely, never-married Joan's life, and when he and his fiancee begin quarrel, she impulsively invites him to move in with her. Kimble's third wife, Dinah, is young enough to be his daughter, and indeed use to baby-sit for his children when he was married to Birdie. Highly sensitive about the birthmark that mars her face, Dinah allows Kimble to pay for a procedure to have it removed. Each Mrs. Kimble is vulnerable to the manipulative Ken in one way or another, and each manages to delude herself about truly seeing him for what he is, even when all of the evidence is right in front of her. The women are both weak and strong in their own ways, and the ending proves that Kimble may have done some good in spite of himself. A beautiful novel with memorable, vibrant characters that will have wide appeal.

作者 About the Author
Jennifer Haigh grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania. She is a graduate of Dickinson College and the Iowa Writers' Workshop, where she was awarded a 2002 James A. Michener Fellowship. Her short stories have been published in Good Housekeeping, Alaska Quarterly Review, The Idaho Review, Global City Review, and elsewhere.

The World's Banker: A Story of Failed States, Financial Crises, and The Wealth and Poverty of Nations [Council on Foreign Relations Books (Penguin Press)]
世界銀行
- by Sebastian Mallaby

羅斯福總統發起的世界銀行組織已經有60年歷史與上萬的員工, 2005年為現任世界銀行總裁James Wolfensohn擔任此職務的第十個年頭, James Wolfensohn豐富的才華與性格造就他多樣不凡的成就, 這位曾領軍澳洲奧運劍擊代表隊,改革克萊斯勒汽車,擔任Carnegie Hall董事會主席的銀行家與大提琴家, 一路走來如何指揮與改革世界銀行這個龐大的機構...

Summary
Unstoppable force, meet immovable object. Scene: the World Bank, a mighty development kingdom of many fiefs, its ten thousand employees operating in some one hundred countries responsible for tens of billions of dollars in aid to the world's poorest nations. Enter: James Wolfensohn, the smooth global deal maker and power broker of gargantuan appetites who has furiously worked his many connections to become the World Bank's president. Over the course of his dazzling career, Wolfensohn seduced everything in his way-surely the development gurus of the bank would be no different? Even if this wasn't much the crowd for private jets and homes in Jackson Hole, for friendship with European royalty and Harrison Ford, for fencing at the Olympics and playing the cello in Carnegie Hall with Yo-Yo Ma, surely they would see what a noble sacrifice James Wolfensohn had made in walking away from his multimillion-dollar income?

Not exactly. In 1995, Wolfensohn struck the World Bank like a whirlwind, determined to reinvent the institution founded by Franklin Roosevelt and his World War II allies. Never has the World Bank's work been more important, more in the public eye, or more controversial than in the past nine years when challenges from global financial crises to AIDS to the emergence of terrorist sanctuaries in failed states have threatened our prosperity. In Sebastian Mallaby's masterful hands, the story of Wolfenson and his World Bank is a marvelous tour through the messy reality of global development. What John Gutfreund and Salomon Brothers were to the 1980s and John Meriwether and Long Term-Capital Management were to the 1990s, James Wolfensohn and the World Bank are to our time: the emblematic story through which a gifted author has channeled the spirit of the age.

作者 About the Author
Sebastian Mallaby has been a Washington Post columnist since 1999. From 1986 to 1999, he was on the staff of The Economist, serving in Zimbabwe, London, and Japan, and as the magazine's Washington bureau chief. He spent 2003 as a Fellow at the Council on Foreign Relations and has written for Foreign Affairs, Foreign Policy, The New York Times, and The New Republic, among others.

THE WHOLE HOG: Exploring the Extraordinary Potential of Pigs (278 Pages)
豬的故事
- by Lyall Watson

喬治歐威爾說對了, 豬是農場上最可能出頭的動物. 但, 為什麼呢? 豬不會飛, 但牠們是最特別的動物, Desmond Morris 說：看完這本書 下次有人罵我豬 我會認為是在稱讚我!

Summary
In recounting his close encounters with wild pigs on three continents, Lyall Watson explores how profoundly pigs have succeeded, from the Gadarene Swine to Miss Piggy, in capturing our imagination. He also makes some surprising revelations. Pigs may lack big brains and grasping hands but they nevertheless manipulate their environment in ways that demonstrate learning, memory, abstract thought, a capacity for pleasure and a real aptitude for reason. Pigs have been seriously neglected and consequently suffer from an unjustified bad press, but in truth, pigs and people have a lot in common. We are both the recently domesticated result of a long tradition of gregarious, playful, tuneful, caring and highly resourceful beings. And all that prevents us from admitting pigs to the society of creatures who understand each other, comprehend complex relationships, distinguish between self and non-self, and regularly respond to situations in a conceptual way, is that those we most often see are confined to tiny sties.
