Benjamin Franklin : An American Life Editorial Reviews Benjamin Franklin, writes journalist and biographer Walter Isaacson, was that rare Founding Father who would sooner wink at a passer-by than sit still for a formal portrait. What's more, Isaacson relates in this fluent and entertaining biography, the revolutionary leader represents a political tradition that has been all but forgotten today, one that prizes pragmatism over moralism, religious tolerance over fundamentalist rigidity, and social mobility over class privilege. That broadly democratic sensibility allowed Franklin his contradictions, as Isaacson shows. Though a man of lofty principles, Franklin wasn't shy of using sex to sell the newspapers he edited and published; though far from frivolous, he liked his toys and his mortal pleasures; and though he sometimes gave off a simpleton image, he was a shrewd and even crafty politician. Isaacson doesn't shy from enumerating Franklin s occasional peccadilloes and shortcomings, in keepi
2016诺贝尔文学奖鲍勃 迪伦 Bob Dylan 美国歌手鲍勃-迪伦获得2016年诺贝尔文学奖,表彰其 在伟大的美国歌曲传统中创造了新的诗歌表达 。 鲍勃迪伦1941年5月24日出生于美国明尼苏达州,原名罗伯特 艾伦 齐默曼(Robert Allen Zimmerman),是一位美国唱作人、艺术家和作家。从1961年发布首张专辑至今,迪伦在流行音乐界和文化界起到的影响已超过50年。他的大多数著名作品都来自1960年代的反抗民谣,也被广泛认为是当时美国新兴的反叛文化的代言人,尽管他否认了这一点。他的部分早期作品成为了当时美国民权反战运动的圣歌,例如《答案在风中飘》(Blowing' in the Wind)和《时代在变》(The Times They Are a-Changing)。1960年代中期迪伦开始从原先的抗议民谣风格转型,并在1965年发行单曲《像一块滚石》(Like a Rolling Stone),也从此改变了流行音乐的传统分类。

Any question . . . think about it. ? from the Foreword We think we live by forces we control, but in fact we are governed by power from unrevealed sources, power over which we have no control. ? from the author?s Preface The universe holds its breath as we choose, instant by instant, which pathway to follow; for the universe, the very essence of life itself, is highly conscious.

World-renowned Stanford University psychologist Carol Dweck, in decades of research on achievement and success, has discovered a truly groundbreaking idea-the power of our mindset. Dweck explains why it's not just our abilities and talent that bring us success-but whether we approach them with a fixed or growth mindset. She makes clear why praising intelligence and ability doesn't foster self-esteem and lead to accomplishment, but may actually jeopardize success. With the right mindset, we can motivate our kids and help them to raise their grades, as well as reach our own goals-personal and professional. Dweck reveals what all great parents, teachers, CEOs, and athletes already know: how a simple idea about the brain can create a love of learning and a resilience that is the basis of great accomplishment in every area.
