![]() | Name:Where is Our Solar System?
Readers from junior form will want to grab a telescope and explore the night skies after finishing this overview of our solar system.
Our solar system consists of eight planets, as well as numerous moons, comets, asteroids, and meteoroids. For thousands of years, humans believed that Earth was at the center of the Universe, but all of that changed in the 17th century. Astronomers like Nicolaus Copernicus, Galileo Galilei, Johannes Kepler, and Isaac Newton proposed the unthinkable theory that Earth and the other planets actually revolved around the Sun. This engaging book chronicles the beginning of the modern age of astronomy, then follows later discoveries, including NASA's current missions in space. |

![]() | 書名:《拾香紀》
《拾香紀》以「事」和「情」兩個章節,講述連十香一家的家族歷史,以十香作為敍事者,透過少女稚嫩的視角,憶述她出生前的「事」,了解其父母及兄弟姊妹的命運,繼而回顧十香所經歷的「情」。從家族歷史,映照香港,帶領讀者「從回憶裏抓住一點生命的痕跡 」,「拾」回「香」港的「紀」錄。
在章節「事」中,故事背景設定於「戰後嬰兒潮」的時代。十香憶述父母在香港紮根的緣起,九位兄弟姊妹,性格迴異,命運各異。連家所經歷的事情對應香港昔日的社會大事,如石峽尾大火、水荒、颱風溫黛襲港等,呈現老一輩的香港人面對天災時守望相助的精神。然而,鄰里間不分彼此,互助互愛的景象或已成回憶,叫人無奈。
在章節「情」中,連家十兄弟姊妹的生活點滴對應香港的文化生活面貌。「香港小姐選舉」、「電視劇」、「李小龍」、「李麗珊」、「恆生指數」、「工展會」、「中英聯合聲明」等香港社會文化關鍵字讓香港回歸前的生活面貌躍然紙上。
走在競技場上,我們來不及駐足感受現在,亦無暇細味回憶。閱讀《拾香紀》,讓我們可以回顧昔日的香港,拾回我們存在過的證明。 |

你有沒有想過,如果有一天,媽媽突然離開了…… 再沒有媽媽陪伴左右……誰來提醒我收拾房間?誰來烹調出「家」的味道?誰來陪伴我面對生育孩子的惶恐不安?
《我離開之後:一個母親給女兒的人生指南》講述女兒哈莉因夢見媽媽離世後接腫而來的挑戰而請媽媽為她寫一本「人生指南」。在「人生指南」中,媽媽逐步教導哈莉度過沒有母親在旁的日子,適應媽媽已經離世的事實。當你在生活中遇到不快的事,不要忘記找朋友傾訴,也不要忘記到餐廳食一頓飯。當你與朋友因小事而起爭執,不要忘記「退一步海闊天空」的道理,也不要忘記放下執著,擁抱對方。當你因經歷失敗而失去自信,不要忘記用媽媽看你的方式看自己。
我們在父母的悉心照料下成長,吸收了不少成長的養分。看過此書後,昐望我們能夠獨當一面,照顧好自己和身邊的人。 |
