▲ 劳伦斯•布洛克，“纽约犯罪风景的吟游诗人”，享誉世界的美国侦探小说大师，欧美 硬汉派侦探小说的杰出代表，多次获得安东尼奖、爱伦•坡奖、夏姆斯奖等推理小说界重要奖项。他的魅力跨越东西大洋，征服欧亚口味不同的读者，两获日本马耳他之鹰奖，更斩获被誉为“英国侦探 推理小说的诺贝尔奖”的钻石匕首奖。
▲他的作品不止受到推理迷欢迎，更备受社会精英、知识分子推崇，在中国拥有众多名人明星书迷：侯孝贤推荐给梁朝伟，梁朝伟推荐给王家卫，王家卫邀请他写剧本；朱天文读完了布洛克的小说，来到纽约，按照书中描写，追寻马修走过的路……
▲布洛克在北京大学的演讲中说：“马修系列的历史可能比在座许多人的生命都长。”这是一个从警局辞职、没有执照的私人侦探，离异、独居，与妓女厮混，和街头混混为友，起初沉迷波本威士忌，参加匿名戒酒会后滴酒不沾。他的侦探手法不是像福尔摩斯那样坐在贝克街221号里叼着烟斗推理分析，而是穿行于纽约大街小巷，与不同阶层身份的人士交谈，寻找每一块可能的拼图。
▲ 从1976年登场的《父之罪》到2005年谢幕的《繁花将尽》，再到2011年补完时间线的《一滴烈酒》，读者可以随着马修•斯卡德特有的步调，游走于兼具犯罪诡谲与人文艺术氛围的纽约。
▲ 纽约之于布洛克，正如洛杉矶之于钱德勒，城市才是他们笔下永远钟情的主角。
▲ 读者说，布洛克的本领是先在血腥里看见恐怖，然后把恐怖化成悬疑，再在悬疑里寻求理解，理解杀人者为何而杀，被杀者因何而死。
▲ 阅读此书时,建议打开地图APP,定位纽约,跟着马修来一场肾上腺素飙升的解谜之旅。本书收录以马修斯·卡德为主角的短篇作品十一则。与葛洛根酒吧告别，但今晚属于纽约。
◎内容简介
本书收录以马修·斯卡德为主角的短篇作品十一则。
在《梦幻泡影》中，马修·斯卡德尚未离开纽约警局，对一个牌局谋杀案展开调查。而到了《窗外》，他已成为一名没有执照的私家侦探，调查一位从17层飞坠而下的女侍的真正死因。《夜晚与音乐》《葛洛根的最后一夜》等，似乎是布洛克为马修·斯卡德所作的温情之歌。
让我们与葛洛根酒吧告别，让我们拥抱今晚的纽约。
◎媒体推荐
当今的犯罪小说作家中，若要找一名堪称雷蒙德·钱德勒与达谢尔·哈梅特的传人，则非劳伦斯·布洛克莫属。
——《旧金山纪事报》
当然，这些情节都不是真实的，可除了布洛克，还有谁能驾驭这样的故事呢？引人入胜的悬念，滑稽搞笑的场景，大胆成功的尝试……总之，这是布洛克的杰作。
——《圣路易斯邮报》
布洛克书中最大的主角不是杀手凯勒、不是谭纳、也不是马修，而是一个城市——纽约。
——《人物》杂志
读者始终一路追随马修从年轻气盛直到老而弥坚,从酗酒到滴酒不沾，以他特有的步调踽踽独行于兼具犯罪诡谲与人文艺术氛围的纽约。
——《诚品好读》
◎名人推荐
在阅读马修·斯卡德的过程中，感觉像小时候看武侠小说那样非要一口气看完不可。我年少混街头但没有混到顶的“遗憾”，或朋友们笑我有黑道情结，在读马修时皆获得满足。马修跟米克·巴卢，男人对男人之间的关系，很过瘾。他们爱看拳击，我也很爱。马修像牛头犬般一旦咬住就不松口的脾气，有时还违反法律，同时又充任法官和陪审团执行法律，甚至像在代替上帝执行正义，都让我记起少年情怀。
拍《悲情城市》时，我常让梁朝伟看些书。空闲时，他就在旁边看书。拍完后，我习惯了看到好看的书就寄给他，或者去香港时顺道带给他。他可能也介绍给王家卫看，后来他们拍《蓝莓之夜》，找的编剧就是布洛克。
——侯孝贤
美国有个作家叫布洛克的，写的关于探案的书很棒。或许有机会我会跟他合作。
——梁朝伟
作者聪明到既放了大量好莱坞元素，又以他对元素步步为营的反讽，既满足了读者的需求，又反讽了自己的俗又有力。
——张大春
劳伦斯•布洛克小说里有很多细节，这些细节不是福尔摩斯式的推理细节，它或许是散乱无用的，但就像一堆拼图，到了正确的时候轻轻摇一下，就会拼出来。
——朱天文
作为一个类型作家，同时又作为一个不愿驯服、抗拒的越界者，劳伦斯·布洛克皆做了精彩、高难度的表演和贡献。
——朱天心

A wealthy entrepreneur secretly creates a theme park featuring living dinosaurs drawn from prehistoric DNA. Before opening day, he invites a team of experts and his two eager grandchildren to experience the park and help calm anxious investors. However, the park is anything but amusing as the security systems go off-line and the dinosaurs escape.

The role of large-scale business enterprise--big business and its managers--during the formative years of modern capitalism (from the 1850s until the 1920s) is delineated in this pathmarking book. Alfred Chandler, Jr., the distinguished business historian, sets forth the reasons for the dominance of big business in American transportation, communications, and the central sectors of production and distribution. The managerial revolution, presented here with force and conviction, is the story of how the visible hand of management replaced what Adam Smith called the 'invisible hand' of market forces. Chandler shows that the fundamental shift toward managers running large enterprises exerted a far greater influence in determining size and concentration in American industry than other factors so often cited as critical: the quality of entrepreneurship, the availability of capital, or public policy.

Five hundred feet underground, Jeanne Marie Laskas asked a coal miner named Smitty, “Do you think it’s weird that people know so little about you?” He replied, “I don’t think people know too much about the way the whole damn country works.”
Hidden America intends to fix that. Like John McPhee and Susan Orlean, Laskas dives deep into her subjects and emerges with character-driven narratives that are gripping, funny, and revelatory. In Hidden America, the stories are about the people who make our lives run every day—and yet we barely think of them.
Laskas spent weeks in an Ohio coal mine and on an Alaskan oil rig; in a Maine migrant labor camp, a Texas beef ranch, the air traffic control tower at New York’s LaGuardia Airport,
a California landfill, an Arizona gun shop, the cab of a long-haul truck in Iowa, and the stadium of the Cincinnati Ben-Gals cheerleaders. Cheerleaders? Yes. They, too, are hidden America, and you will be amazed by what Laskas tells you about them: hidden no longer.

很多人都不知道，
自己的国家到底是怎么运转的。
看不见的美国，
其实一直都在。
在地下一百五十多米的地方，珍妮•拉斯卡斯问一个名叫斯密提的矿工：“人们对你们了解得这么少，你觉得奇怪吗？”
他回答：“我觉得，他们可能都不知道这个国家到底是怎么运转的。”
《看不见的美国》，讲述的就是这样一群人，他们每日辛勤劳作，维持我们的生活运转，而我们却从未将其放在心上。
看不见的世界林林总总：俄亥俄的矿业公司，阿拉斯加的石油钻塔，缅因州的外来劳工营，拉瓜迪亚的空中交管中心，得克萨斯的肉牛牧场，加利福尼亚的垃圾填埋场，衣阿华的长途卡车司机，亚利桑那的枪支店，以及辛辛那提猛虎队的啦啦队员们。
啦啦队员？是的，她们也代表着你看不见的美国。

In the century after the Civil War, an economic revolution improved the American standard of living in ways previously unimaginable. Electric lighting, indoor plumbing, home appliances, motor vehicles, air travel, air conditioning, and television transformed households and workplaces. With medical advances, life expectancy between 1870 and 1970 grew from forty-five to seventy-two years. Weaving together a vivid narrative, historical anecdotes, and economic analysis, The Rise and Fall of American Growth provides an in-depth account of this momentous era. But has that era of unprecedented growth come to an end?
Gordon challenges the view that economic growth can or will continue unabated, and he demonstrates that the life-altering scale of innovations between 1870 and 1970 can't be repeated. He contends that the nation's productivity growth, which has already slowed to a crawl, will be further held back by the vexing headwinds of rising inequality, stagnating education, an aging population, and the rising debt of college students and the federal government. Gordon warns that the younger generation may be the first in American history that fails to exceed their parents' standard of living, and that rather than depend on the great advances of the past, we must find new solutions to overcome the challenges facing us.
A critical voice in the debates over economic stagnation, The Rise and Fall of American Growth is at once a tribute to a century of radical change and a harbinger of tougher times to come.

在1870年至1970年的一个世纪里，一场经济变革席卷美国，使美国人民的生活水平空前提高。内燃机、电力、电灯、室内管道、汽车、电话、飞机、空调、电视等一系列伟大发明和后续的增量式创新不仅推动了美国经济的高速增长，也彻底改变了美国人的生活和工作方式。户外体力劳动被空调环境中的室内劳动替代，烦琐的家务劳动越来越多地由电器设备承担，光明驱走了黑暗，取代隔离的不仅是旅游还有将世界带入客厅的电视。更重要的是，一个新生儿预期将活到72岁而不是45岁。全球金融危机后，美国能重续这一“特殊世纪”的辉煌吗？互联网和人工智能等新技术的发展能带来同样的经济改革吗？
此书将经济学与历史学相结合，既有对历史的生动叙述，也有对经济现象的深入分析，既从普通民众视角考察家庭日常生活和工作的细节，又以经济学家视角在经济增长这一更广阔的背景下解释这些细节，为读者呈现了一个“特殊世纪”的全景图。通过这样的分析，作者对上述两个问题的回答是：1870年至1970年的颠覆式经济变革及其创造的辉煌不可再现。在他看来，美国的生产率增长已经开始放缓，不平等加剧、教育停滞、人口老龄化、大学生债务和联邦政府债务不断增加，都将进一步阻碍生产率增长。走出困境必须找到新的办法。
此书既是对过去一个世纪的彻底变革的致敬，也是对未来更艰难时代的预言。在当前关于经济增长前景的争论中，此书所做的分析不容忽视。

The true story of Captain Richard Phillips and the 2009 hijacking by Somali pirates of the US-flagged MV Maersk Alabama, the first American cargo ship to be hijacked in two hundred years.

Wreck-It Ralph is the 9-foot-tall, 643-pound villain of an arcade video game named Fix-It Felix Jr., in which the game's titular hero fixes buildings that Ralph destroys. Wanting to prove he can be a good guy and not just a villain, Ralph escapes his game and lands in Hero's Duty, a first-person shooter where he helps the game's hero battle against alien invaders. He later enters Sugar Rush, a kart racing game set on tracks made of candies, cookies and other sweets. There, Ralph meets Vanellope von Schweetz who has learned that her game is faced with a dire threat that could affect the entire arcade, and one that Ralph may have inadvertently started.

Blue jeans are globally beloved and quintessentially American. They symbolize everything from the Old West to the hippie counter-culture; everyone from car mechanics to high-fashion models wears jeans. And no name is more associated with blue jeans than Levi Strauss & Co., the creator of this classic American garment.
As a young man Levi Strauss left his home in Germany and immigrated to America. He made his way to San Francisco and by 1853 had started his company. Soon he was a leading businessman in a growing commercial city that was beginning to influence the rest of the nation. Family-centered and deeply rooted in his Jewish faith, Strauss was the hub of a wheel whose spokes reached into nearly every aspect of American culture: business, philanthropy, politics, immigration, transportation, education, and fashion.
But despite creating an American icon, Levi Strauss is a mystery. Little is known about the man, and the widely circulated "facts" about his life are steeped in mythology. In this first full-length biography, Lynn Downey sets the record straight about this brilliant businessman. Strauss's life was the classic American success story, filled with lessons about craft and integrity, leadership and innovation.

Headstrong yet aimless, Will Hunting has a genius-level IQ but chooses to work as a janitor at MIT. When he secretly solves highly difficult graduate-level math problems, his talents are discovered by Professor Gerald Lambeau, who decides to help the misguided youth reach his potential. When Will is arrested for attacking a police officer, Professor Lambeau makes a deal to get leniency for him if he gets court-ordered therapy. Eventually, therapist Dr. Sean Maguire helps Will confront the demons that are holding him back.

How skirting the law once defined America’s relation to the world.
In the frigid winter of 1875, Charles L. Lawrence made international headlines when he was arrested for smuggling silk worth $60 million into the United States. An intimate of Boss Tweed, gloriously dubbed “The Prince of Smugglers,” and the head of a network spanning four continents and lasting half a decade, Lawrence scandalized a nation whose founders themselves had once dabbled in contraband.
Since the Revolution itself, smuggling had tested the patriotism of the American people. Distrusting foreign goods, Congress instituted high tariffs on most imports. Protecting the nation was the custom house, which waged a “war on smuggling,” inspecting every traveler for illicitly imported silk, opium, tobacco, sugar, diamonds, and art. The Civil War’s blockade of the Confederacy heightened the obsession with contraband, but smuggling entered its prime during the Gilded Age, when characters like assassin Louis Bieral, economist “The Parsee Merchant,” Congressman Ben Butler, and actress Rose Eytinge tempted consumers with illicit foreign luxuries. Only as the United States became a global power with World War I did smuggling lose its scurvy romance.
Meticulously researched, Contraband explores the history of smuggling to illuminate the broader history of the United States, its power, its politics, and its culture.

Area 51's most important military aviation developments are profiled in an illustrated format. When most of us think of Area 51, we think of aliens, UFOs, and controversial government cover-ups. It's easy to forget that, since the mid-1950s, the United States' famed extension of Edwards Air Force Base has served as a top-secret CIA testing ground for many of the most groundbreaking advancements in American military aviation technology. In Area 51 - Black Jets, author and military historian Bill Yenne offers the first fully illustrated chronology of Area 51's most famous aircraft projects, including Lockheed's U-2 "Dragon Lady" and SR-71 "Blackbird" reconnaissance planes, drones ranging from the early Lockheed D-21 to the modern-day General Atomics MQ-1 Predator, and the famous F-117 Nighthawk stealth fighter produced by the Have Blue program during the 1970s. Each project is given its own fascinating chapter illuminating the aircraft's development at this famed location. But beyond the aircraft themselves, Area 51 - Black Jets also covers a handful of the many classified experimental programs carried out at Area 51 over the years, such as Have Doughnut, Have Ferry, and Have Drill - secret undertakings that successfully reverse-engineered such enemy aircraft as the Russian MiG during the Cold War. Presented in beautiful hardcover format and illustrated with historic color and black-and-white photographs, diagrams, and maps, this book reveals Area 51 for what it truly is: a clandestine area for the United States' most cutting-edge technological innovators in military aviation.

美国道路为何对贫困问题无能为力？“需求侧”经济如何引发今日危机？
揭示美国政府干预的真实面相，避开美国经验的政策陷阱。
斩获美国社会学协会社会学杰出学术贡献等六项大奖
19世纪末美国经济出现了爆炸式增长，而路易斯安那州的传奇州长休伊·朗却质问道：“这是一片超级富足的过剩之地，可为何到处都是食不果腹、衣不蔽体、无家可归的人呢？”
休伊·朗是那个时代美国政治经济的典型代表，这位令罗斯福都忌惮三分的政治狂人，在奇袭、拳斗、谋杀、弹劾和大量的口诛笔伐中，推出了一系列旨在解决贫困悖论的激进政策。而在多次戏剧性的政治博弈中，美国走上了一条非同寻常的经济发展道路。
----------------
《过剩之地》令人信服地证明美国政府干预的传统由来已久，且非常强大，但为何政府干预力如此强大的美国，却没能遏制自己在发达国家中居高不下的贫困率？
历史倒退回19世纪末，彼时美国爆炸性的经济增长引发了一场旷日持久的农业利益促进运动。这场运动使得美国联邦政府确立了促进农业利益的税收和金融政策，这些政策没有带来欧式福利，却非常讽刺地导致了信贷民主化，开动了美国经济的消费引擎。读史早知今日事。底层扫地出门，中层美国梦碎，“需求侧”经济撕裂了今日之美国，然而原因却要到历史中去寻找。
-----------------
普拉萨德的研究表明，学术界、政界和新闻界认为美国比欧洲国家更自由、干预更少的传统观点，是错误的。

（《国家与权力》《不由自主的资产阶级》作者）
这本引人入胜的著作解释了为何如此多的美国人生活在贫困之中，并对我们这个时代最重要的议题作出了惊人的，但最终也是令人信服的贡献。

British tennis player Peter clutches to an embarrassingly low position on the tennis-ranking ladder. Handed a wild card for Wimbledon, he expects it to be his final bow.

本书是一部美国通史，由美国当代著名历史学家方纳先生所著。它从欧洲探险者最早到达美洲和征服新大陆开始写起，一直叙述到2014年奥巴马总统当政时期有关美国政治、社会、思想、文化等方面的内容，力图呈现一部最前沿的、具有最广包容性的美国历史叙事。 本书亦是“新美国史学”的结晶，它以“自由”为主线，采用“自下而上”的研究视角，将新社会史的研究成果天衣无缝地融入到对经典美国史学题目的重新解释之中，凸显被传统史学所无视的美国群体的历史经验，呈现了一种以多元互动的历史观来重构的美国通史。书中所强调的是美国历史上最为重要的事件、个人和主题，但同时关注那些声名显赫的领袖人物和平凡普通的美国人的经历，并关注那些构成美国社会的不同群体的历史经历。该书观点鲜明，思想深邃，知识丰富，写作精美，深受国内外众多读者的欢迎和喜爱。

本书讲述了美国小儿麻痹症（脊髓灰质炎）肆虐时期的故事，以及为了治愈这种疾病而展开的竞争，重头戏是索尔克（Jonas Salk）和萨宾（Albert Sabin）关于率先研制出疫苗的比赛。
书中详述了20世纪30年代美国国家小儿麻痹症基金会成立的过程，这个基金会彻底改变了美国人募集科研资金的方式和对疾病的看法。脊髓灰质炎的研究颠覆了美国政府在允许新药上市前对新药的审批与检验方法，也改变了法律体系对药厂责任与不安全产品的认定方式。
