乔布斯
卡勒布·梅尔比编著的《乔布斯——苹果禅(精)》详尽讲述了史蒂夫·乔布斯和他的禅修导师乙川千野弘文之间的故事。弘文在乔布斯生命中的作用在他的传记中没有被充分揭示——当乔布斯处于生命的低谷时,正是他对禅修最热衷的阶段,但是当乔布斯和弘文独处时究竟发生了什么却无人得知。《乔布斯——苹果禅(精)》用漫画的形式展现了这两个伟大头脑之间的互动,书中大量素材来自弘文的弟子们以及与乔布斯一起坐禅的禅修者,那些认识乔布斯与弘文并且参与了他们互动的人提供了最有用的资料。 -

Team of Rivals
Acclaimed historian Doris Kearns Goodwin illuminates Lincoln's political genius in this highly original work, as the one-term congressman and prairie lawyer rises from obscurity to prevail over three gifted rivals of national reputation to become president. On May 18, 1860, William H. Seward, Salmon P. Chase, Edward Bates, and Abraham Lincoln waited in their hometowns for the results from the Republican National Convention in Chicago. When Lincoln emerged as the victor, his rivals were dismayed and angry. Throughout the turbulent 1850s, each had energetically sought the presidency as the conflict over slavery was leading inexorably to secession and civil war. That Lincoln succeeded, Goodwin demonstrates, was the result of a character that had been forged by experiences that raised him above his more privileged and accomplished rivals. He won because he possessed an extraordinary ability to put himself in the place of other men, to experience what they were feeling, to understand their motives and desires. It was this capacity that enabled Lincoln as president to bring his disgruntled opponents together, create the most unusual cabinet in history, and marshal their talents to the task of preserving the Union and winning the war. We view the long, horrifying struggle from the vantage of the White House as Lincoln copes with incompetent generals, hostile congressmen, and his raucous cabinet. He overcomes these obstacles by winning the respect of his former competitors, and in the case of Seward, finds a loyal and crucial friend to see him through. This brilliant multiple biography is centered on Lincoln's mastery of men and how it shaped the most significant presidency in the nation's history. -

唐浩明评点曾国藩家书(上下)
《唐浩明评点曾国藩家书》(上下)内容简介:十几年前,随着《曾国藩全集》和以曾国藩为主人公的文学作品的出版,一个一度曾经改变历史走向的人物,仿佛一件稀有文物被发掘出土似的,立时引起国人的广泛兴趣:官场士林、商界军营乃至市井小民,一时间都以谈论曾氏为博雅为时髦。此风亦波及海外华人世界,华文媒体也争相介绍这位早已被遗忘的曾文正公。中国近代史上叱咤风云的人物岂只千百,为何此人能得到众多领域和层次的关注:似乎只要是中国人,谁都可以从他身上说点什么!看来,这就不仅仅是出于个人经历的传奇性,而是此人身上有着民族和文化的负载。当今的时代,是一个全球经济一体化的时代,西方文化仗着经济实力的强大,正在向全世界各个角落风卷残云般扑来,大有排斥、压倒一切文化的势头。曾经创造过五千年灿烂文明的中国文化,在如此形势下如何立足,它究竟还有没有存在的必要,中华民族还需要它的哺育吗?它还有发展的可能吗?这些原本不是问题的问题,如今似乎已成了有识之士的困惑。曾氏被公认为中国近代最后一个集传统文化于一身的典型人物,人们对他的关注和兴趣,正好给我们以启示:处在变革时期而浮躁不安的中国人,依然渴求来自本族文化的滋润,尤其企盼从这种文化所培育出的成功人士身上获取某些启迪。这启迪,因同源同种同血脉的缘故,而显得更亲切,更实用,也更有效。 此事给我们这批从事中国文化工作的人以振奋,它使我们增加了信心,看到了未来的前途。 然而,中国文化既博大精深,又浩繁杂芜,在眼下信息爆炸竞争激烈的时代,机遇良多,一刻千金,人们再也没有往日田园般宁静的心境和经年累月足不出户闭门读书的悠闲,如何让忙于事功者领略中国文化的智慧呢?笔者认为,对于有志于此的人来说,不妨试用一法:在一段时间内将注意力集中到一个有代表性的人物身上,将他看透研深,再由此一人而去领悟全体。佛家说一叶一菩提,一花一世界,古人说一经通而百经通,说的都是这个意思。 -
