'An acerbic, compelling and always accessible account of how opium corrupted the world' TLS'The writing is sublime, the research thorough, the eye for story superb' Sunday TelegraphWhen Amitav Ghosh began the research for his monumental cycle of novels the Ibis Trilogy, he was startled to find how the lives of the 19th century sailors and soldiers he wrote of were dictated not only by the currents of the Indian Ocean, but also by the precious commodity carried in enormous quantities on those currents: opium. Most surprising of all, however, was the discovery that his own identity and family history was swept up in the story.Smoke and Ashes is at once a travelogue, memoir and a history, drawing on decades of archival research. In it, Ghosh traces the transformative effect the opium trade had on Britain, India, and China, as well as the world at large.The trade was engineered by the British Empire, which exported Indian opium to sell to China and redress their great trade imbalance, and

Little Taylor grew up on her family’s Christmas tree farm in Pennsylvania, USA. Then, at age six, she went to her first concert – she saw LeAnn Rimes, the country musician.At that moment, Taylor fell in love with country music! Some of the kids at school didn’t understand but Taylor managed to shake it off! She took her first steps towards stardom by recording a demo of cover songs and sent it to record labels in Nashville, the home of country music. However, while, she enjoyed singing others' songs, she knew all too well that she had to express herself in her own words. So, she started writing her own lyrics and melodies and her natural talent for putting her feelings into words shone through. After signing with a record label, she started working on her first album. Called 'Taylor Swift'
EMI全英授課以教授學科專業知識為目標，英語則扮演不可或缺的「課堂溝通工具」。本書依使用情境彙集豐富的課室實用語句，助學子自信表達，輕鬆解鎖雙語學習潛能！● 第一本專為學生編輯的EMI課室用語寶典在全球化的浪潮中，英語作為跨國溝通的重要媒介不可或缺。尤其因應政府「2030 雙語國家政策」，國內大專院校無不竭力在各系所開設全英語授課課程，亦即將原本以中文授課的專業課程，改成以英文授課。在EMI全英授課的課堂中，各類學科專業知識的吸收才是主要學習目標，英文則回歸語言本應扮演的「溝通工具」角色。為了真正落實雙語教學的目標，除了教師必須具備用英語授課的能力外，學生也應積極參與課堂討論，如此一來才能確實深化學科知識的理解與吸收。而欲跨越用英文參與課業討論這個障礙，最簡單有效的方法就是先熟悉EMI課堂常用語句。本書即是專為雙語教學環境而設計，以各式在雙語課堂內的情境做為分類，包括：和同學討論所選修的 EMI 課程內容、分組協商及輪流發言的禮貌說法、表達意見或舉例佐證的溝通技巧等，無一不是同學們可立即派上用場的實用語句，搭配中文翻譯及語音朗讀，幫助學生能自信參與課堂互動，輕鬆掌握專業知識。● 參與課堂討論必備語句學習不能僅是被動的等老師提供知識和給答案，主動積極地參與課堂討論更是深化理解和批判思考的關鍵。本書不僅提供課堂互動的必備用語，還引導同學們在討論中表現出色。積極參與課業討論，從此不再是一種挑戰，而是一種樂趣！例如：□ I’d like to build on the point that Jerry just made.我想以傑瑞剛才提出的觀點為基礎再補充一下。□ Wait a second. I think we are getting off track a bit.等一下。我認為我們有點偏離主題了。□ 女：I’m a bit unclear on the requirements for this writing task.我不太清楚這個寫作作業的要求為何。男：Well, we just have to compose a five-paragraph essay on the assigned topic.嗯，我們只需要就指定的主題寫一篇五段式論述文。● 師生互動＆同儕交流必通句與老師溝通順暢是成功學習的重要環節，與同儕進行各方面的交流分享則是激發靈感的最佳方式。
