Say you've spent the first 10 years of your life sleeping under the stairs of a family who loathes you. Then, in an absurd, magical twist of fate you find yourself surrounded by wizards, a caged snowy owl, a phoenix-feather wand, and jellybeans that come in every flavor, including strawberry, curry, grass, and sardine. Not only that, but you discover that you are a wizard yourself! This is exactly what happens to young Harry Potter in J.K. Rowling's enchanting, funny debut novel, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. In the nonmagic human world--the world of "Muggles"--Harry is a nobody, treated like dirt by the aunt and uncle who begrudgingly inherited him when his parents were killed by the evil Voldemort. But in the world of wizards, small, skinny Harry is famous as a survivor of the wizard who tried to kill him. He is left only with a lightning-bolt scar on his forehead, curiously refined sensibilities, and a host of mysterious powers to remind him that he's quite, yes, altogether different from his aunt

《象脉学》是形而上脉象学内涵,作者潜心研究,反复梳理,终成该作。内容有症状脉学(传统脉)研究,脏器及其疾病脉学研究,六淫七情脉象研究,流年脉学研究,风水脉象研究,改脉治病研究等内容。意在为脉象研究者或脉学爱好者放飞思想、拓展眼界。书中有关脉中象学的理念抖露了象脉学原理,洞切了气口这一信息窗口的海市蜃楼。 笔者一生勤奋,年似将撕开寸口秘密的窗纸,为人类以脉诊病、察脉治病的原生态医疗不惜苦涩自我,褒贬一生。其对人类医学的贡献虽然淹没在浮躁的今天,但时间将是检验真理的标准。目前笔者致力于该项技艺在世界范围内传播,坚信人类脱离过度医疗的沉荷已经小荷初尖。广大同仁若能慧心顿悟、天机典藏则神奇无限复制。 观其治病:三指轻弹如医院理化仪器,小针若兵,脉气挪移,大病顽疾改象病愈,这是何等的造
Jed's mum works for top-secret Unit X-and Jed secretly helps out with some of her missions!
One night Max puts on his wolf suit and makes mischief of one kind and another, so his mother calls him 'Wild Thing' and sends him to bed without his supper. That night a forest begins to grow in Max's room and an ocean rushes by with a boat to take Max to the place where the wild things are. Max tames the wild things and crowns himself as their king, and then the wild rumpus begins. But when Max has sent the monsters to bed, and everything is quiet, he starts to feel lonely and realises it is time to sail home to the place where someone loves him best of all. When Maurice Sendak won the American Library Association's Caldecott Medal for WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE, he said: 'Max, the hero of my book, discharges his anger against his mother, and returns to the real world sleepy, hungry and at peace with himself...from their earliest years children live on familiar terms with disrupting emotions, fear and anxiety are an intrinsic part of their everyday lives, they continually cope with frustration as best they c
