演说的艺术（英文版）
在这个世界上，有很多人意识到自己因这样或那样的缺陷和不足导致无法成功，比如有人承认自己智商不高，有人认为自己情商不够，有人确定自己能力不行，还有人觉得自己运气不佳……但是却很少有人承认自己不会说话，更难以相信自己不成功或实现不了梦想的原因之一就是——“不会在公众面前说话”……有美国著名评论家在描述《演说的艺术》一书作者时，这样描述过一番令人震撼的场景：虽然美国大城市有四成多人处于失业状态，需要靠救济生活，可当晚仍有两千多人被一份广告所吸引，涌向宾夕法尼亚饭店。原来，他们是来听一场戴尔·卡耐基作家所做的最现代、最实用的“为人处世技巧”的讲座。这一讲座每个季度都在纽约举办，而且是场场爆满，人数多得数不过来，其中很多人都是商界和技术领域的专业人士。原因在哪里呢？读读这本读起来一点都不难的书吧。答案就在眼前。
Door into the Dark
Originally published in 1969, Seamus Heaney's Door into the Dark continues a furrow so startlingly opened in his first collection, Death of a Naturalist (1966). With the sensuosness and physicality of language that would become the hallmark of his early writing, these poems graphically depict the author's rural upbringing, from the local forge to the banks of Lough Neagh, concluding in the preserving waters of the bogland and a look ahead to his next book, Wintering Out (1972).
The Art of Business
In the traditional model, business operates in an economic flow of inputs (resources and raw materials), outputs (products and services) and processes that help get you from one to the other (research and development, production, distribution).
Double Tongue
An aged prophetess at Delphi, the most sacred oracle in ancient Greece, looks back over her strange life as the Pythia, the First Lady and voice of the god Apollo. As a young virgin with disturbing psychic powers, Arieka was handed over to the service of the shrine by her parents. She has now spent sixty years as the very medium, the torn mouthpiece, of equivocal mantic utterances from the bronze tripod in the sanctuary beneath the temple. Over a lifetime at the mercy of god and priest and people she has watched the decay of Delphi's fortunes and its influence in the world. Her reflections on the mysteries of the oracle, which her own weird gifts have embodied, are matched by her feminine insight into the human frailties of the High Priest himself, a true Athenian, whose intriguing against the Romans brings about humiliation and disaster. This extraordinary short novel was left in draft at Golding's sudden death in 1993 but it is a psychological and historical triumph.
