Everybody knew that books were dangerous. Read the wrong book, it was said, and the words crawled around your brain on black legs and drove you mad, wicked mad. Mosca Mye was born at a time sacred to Goodman Palpitattle, He Who Keeps Flies out of Jams and Butterchurns, which is why her father insisted on naming her after the housefly. He also insisted on teaching her to read—even in a world where books are dangerous, regulated things. Eight years later, Quillam Mye died, leaving behind an orphaned daughter with an inauspicious name and an all-consuming hunger for words. Trapped for years in the care of her cruel Uncle Westerly and Aunt Briony, Mosca leaps at the opportunity for escape, though it comes in the form of sneaky swindler Eponymous Clent. As she travels the land with Clent and her pet goose, Saracen, Mosca begins to discover complicated truths about the world she inhabits and the power of words.

Naondel
Booklist called Maresi "utterly satisfying and completely different from standard YA fantasy." Now, Naondel goes back to establish the world of the trilogy and tells the story of the First Sisters —the founders of the female utopia the Red Abbey. Imprisoned in a harem by a dangerous man with a dark magic that grants him power over life and death, the First Sisters must overcome their mistrust of one another in order to escape. But they can only do so at a great cost, both for those who leave and for those left behind. Told in alternating points of view, this novel is a vivid, riveting look at a world of oppression and exploitation, the mirror opposite of the idyllic Red Abbey.

中国职业足球俱乐部成长研究：从“新制度经济学”视角
体育科学研究同样也高扬起这面透射着时代亮色的旗帜，铺展开一片充溢着生气的探索之花，多学科综合研究日益受到体育科学研究界的重视。这是因为人们越来越深刻地认识到体育现象、运动中的人和运动过程本身都是一个浑然整体，它们的特征和规律只能存在于各组成要素的相互联系、相互制约之中。因此，仅仅依靠单一学科已经很难解决错综复杂的现实问题。体育科学必须与哲学、心理学、医学、计算机科学、生物工程学等各门学科理论与方法紧密联系，只有集中各学科的先进理论与方法对同一对象进行综合研究，才能进一步提高成果的科学性和实效性。
