This title comes with an introduction by John Mullen. Dean Jocelin has a vision: that God has chosen him to erect a great spire on his cathedral. His mason anxiously advises against it, for the old cathedral was built without foundations. Nevertheless, the spire rises octagon upon octagon, pinnacle by pinnacle, until the stone pillars shriek and the ground beneath it swims. Its shadow falls ever darker on the world below, and on Dean Jocelin in particular. From the author of Lord of the Flies, The Spire is a dark and powerful portrait of one man's will, and the folly that he creates. "e;Quite simply, a marvel"e;. (Frank Kermode, New York Review of Books). "e;Superb…The book should become a classic"e;. (Sunday Telegraph). "e;An engrossing story"e;. (New York Times Book Review).

购物指南（现代生活百科）
以最少的付出换取最大的“效用”，这是花钱购物的最高经济原则。花钱购物应该有一定的计划性。每个家庭都应该有远期、中期、近期的打算，先拟好支出项目，编订预算。在编定预算时，应量入为出，只能开支已有或确有把握的收入，而且应留有余地。要反复地考虑，妥当安排吃、穿、住、用、赡养、教育、文娱、交往、储蓄等生活费用的比例，对全家共同需求和个别需要作统筹安排。从安排次序讲，一般要首先保证全家的吃住，保证尽到赡养之资，保证子女的教育费用，安排好婚嫁事宜，然后才是娱乐、发展费用。从安排重点讲，穿的多想到青年，尤其是女孩；吃的方面多想到幼童和老年年人，当然，中年夫妻也不能太“苦”了自己。
