Jacob Hunt is a teenage boy with Asperger's syndrome. He's hopeless at reading social cues or expressing himself well to others, and like many kids with AS, Jacob has a special focus on one subject -- in his case, forensic analysis. He's always showing up at crime scenes, thanks to the police scanner he keeps in his room, and telling the cops what they need to do...and he's usually right. But then his town is rocked by a terrible murder and, for a change, the police come to Jacob with questions. All of the hallmark behaviors of Asperger's -- not looking someone in the eye, stimulatory tics and twitches, flat affect -- can look a lot like guilt to law enforcement personnel. Suddenly, Jacob and his family, who only want to fit in, feel the spotlight shining directly on them. For his mother, Emma, it's a brutal reminder of the intolerance and misunderstanding that always threaten her family. For his brother, Theo, it's another indication of why nothing is normal because of Jacob. And over this small family the soul-searing question looms: Did Jacob commit murder? |

The worst day of Tim Blake's life started out with him making breakfast for his seventeen-year-old daughter Sydney. Syd was staying with him while she worked a summer job - even if he wasn't entirely sure what her job at the Just Inn Time motel actually was - and Tim hoped this quality father-daughter time would somehow help her deal with his divorce. When she didn't arrive home at her usual time, he thought she'd probably gone to the mall to hang with her friends. When she didn't answer her phone he began to worry. When she didn't come home at all, he began to panic. And when the people at the Just Inn Time said they had no Sydney Blake working at the motel and never had, he began to see his life going into freefall. If she hadn't been working at the Just Inn Time every day, what had she been doing? Something she couldn't - or wouldn't - tell her own father about? To find his daughter Tim doesn't need to simply track her down - he needs to know who she really was, and what could have made her step out of her own life without leaving a trace. Only one thing has him convinced the worst hasn't already happened: the fact that some very scary people seem just as eager as he is to find her. The question is: who's going to find her first? |

I want to change my boss' mind, but he won't listen. I want to change the way we operate around here, but there are too many obstacles. I want to make some changes in my life, but I'm scared they might not work out. All too often our desire to improve things is undermined by the scepticism of others and by our own caution and fear. In "Switch", best-selling authors Chip and Dan Heath delve deep inside the human psyche to explain why this should be so, but they also argue that once we understand how our minds function, there are practical steps we can take to overcome our inbuilt resistance to change. And the results can be extraordinary. |

When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a con of her own--scamming her way into the best boarding school in the country, determined to leave the family business behind. Unfortunately, leaving ""the life"" for a normal life proves harder than she'd expected.
Soon, Kat's friend and former co-conspirator, Hale, appears out of nowhere to bring her back into the world she tried so hard to escape. But he has good reason: a powerful mobster has been robbed of his priceless art collection and wants to retrieve it. Only a master thief could have pulled this job, and Kat's father isn't just on the suspect list, he is the list. Caught between Interpol and a far more deadly enemy, Kat's dad needs her help. For Kat there is only one solution: track down the paintings and steal them back. So what if it's a spectacularly impossible job? She's got two weeks, a teenage crew, and hopefully just enough talent to pull off the biggest heist in history--or at least her family's (very crooked) history. " |

| 分子廚藝 (首部曲)：揭開美食奧祕的科學革命 |
9789862620137 |
提斯 This, Herve |
"好吃，說不出道理嗎？其實美食背後隱含了各種科學原理，想抓住更對味的煮法，品嘗最滿足的料理嗎？你一定得先暸解「分子廚藝」
美食絕對有道理，提升廚藝「靠科學」！
一般人享受美食，大概從沒想過怎樣能煮出熟度完美的蛋；也一定不清楚製作點心時，最重要的就是控制溫度、水分和氣壓。不少人被似是而非的料理技巧所迷惑，始終搞不懂為何已照食譜去做，廚藝卻還是原地踏步！可見只知烹調步驟而說不出前因後果，將很難端出令人「吃進心坎裡」的佳餚。
本書特由開創「分子美食」學派的法國科學家提斯撰寫，他將近乎「龜毛」的科學精神融入烹飪中，設計了一系列科學實驗，用以探究食物究竟產生了哪些分子變化，才令蔬果、肉類、麵粉等食材散發出迷人的色香味。
這種實事求是的態度及研究方法，破除了許多道聽塗說的誤解，更使往昔被視作不傳之秘的廚藝迷思，變成人人可理解應用的系統化知識。正因如此，分子廚藝近年來紅遍中西飲食界，各方人馬紛紛投入這項科學與美食的聯盟，影響所及，無論在東方或西洋美食文化上都形成了革新的風潮。而本書正是推動這一場美食科學革命的當代經典。

楊雅晴 |
"2009年暑假，突然有個無名部落格爆紅，一位台灣女孩揚雅晴很有氣魄的告訴大家，要在巴黎吻100個男人。她的部落格每天湧入上萬人，最高時期達到數十萬人，媒體爭相追逐，從巴黎、柏林、倫敦、北京到台北，電子傳媒蜂擁而至，女性刊物爭相要求專題報導，世界知名攝影師也想參一腳，她當了亞蘭德倫太陽眼鏡的主角。
每一個吻都是勇敢的浪漫。而她的文字輕盈一如巴黎女性，像蝴蝶飛過身邊，輕訴著世界的精彩和美好：這世界芳草碧連天，鋪陳了一個奼紫嫣紅開遍，一如仲夏夜之夢境。
每一個吻都是少女的情懷，但當中的試煉與反覆掙扎可能更動人──會不會被拒絕？會不會很尷尬？對方是否合適的對象？一連串的自問自答都在說明，做這件事需要很大的勇氣。
是的，2009年暑假最勇敢最具有魄力的事情，就這是一位台灣女孩在巴黎的行為藝術，她吸引人的不只是親吻這一件事情，她把許多人心底的渴望化成行動，替女孩潛藏在心底某個角落的浪漫化為行動。" |
