The Wheel Spins

Lucius Apuleius, a young man of good parentage, takes a trip to Thessaly. Along the way, amidst a series of bizarre adventures, he inadvertently offends a priestess of the White Goddess, who promptly turns him into an ass. How Lucius responds to his new misfortune, and ultimately finds a way to become human again, makes for a funny and fascinating tale.The Metamorphosis of Apuleius, referred to by St. Augustine as The Golden Ass, is the oldest novel written in Latin to survive in its entirety. Originally written by Lucius of Patrae, this translation by Robert Graves highlights the ribald humor and vivid sense of adventure present in the original. Providing a rare window in to the daily lives of regular people in ancient Greece, Robert Graves' translation of this classic tale is at once hilarious, informative, and captivating.

Last summer, Lucy's and Ben's lives changed in an instant. One moment, they were shyly flirting on a lake raft, finally about to admit their feelings to each other after years of yearning. In the next, Trixie—Lucy's best friend and Ben's sister—was gone, her heart giving out during a routine swim. And just like that, the idyllic world they knew turned upside down, and the would-be couple drifted apart, swallowed up by their grief. Now it's a year later in their small lake town, and as the anniversary of Trixie's death looms, Lucy and Ben's undeniable connection pulls them back together. They can't change what happened the day they lost Trixie, but the summer might finally bring them closer to healing—and to each other.

In 1931, Britain's Conservative Party proposed the India Bill--a piece of proposed legislation that made significant changes to the way India governed itself under British rule. Winston Churchill, with a distinguished history of military service and war correspondence in India behind him, took a position on this bill independent of the party line--and fought for it with characteristic conviction and oratory brilliance.This book contains seven speeches and three important addresses on the subject, printed originally to generate popular support for Churchill's opinion. It should be noted that Churchill's opposition to Indian home rule is one of his more controversial political positions. Despite the strength of his oration, his attempt failed--and the India Bill was approved by Parliament in 1935. Documenting a rare loss for Churchill, these speeches provide an important insight into his mind and strategy as a political leader.

热闹与喧嚣的摩登城市，历史在这里无声沉积。那些神话传说中亦真亦假的奇珍异宝，曾一度遗落在历史的长河里。然而，此刻，它们就在这里——名为“哑舍”的古董店。一面古镜，连接了两千年的时光，让两个不同时空的男女命运交织。一条手链，每一颗宝石可达成一个愿望，让你找回曾经丢失的东西。一根香烛，燃烧千年，也流了千年的烛泪，只为等待自己所想的那个人。一个瓷枕，可以让你美梦成真，也会让你噩梦成真。一把利剑，不管桑海沧田，时代变迁，仍久守着几千年前的承诺。一根竹简，脆弱得不堪一击，却封印着远古强大的魔兽。一块玉像，可以交换人与人之间的灵魂，让两个人的世界完全颠倒。

情商又称情绪智力，是近年来心理学家们提出的与智力和智商相对应的概念。它主要是指人在情绪、情感、意志、耐受挫折等方面的品质。以前人们认为，一个人能否在一生中取得成就，智力水平是第一重要的，即智商越高，取得成就的可能性就越大。但现在心理学家们普遍认为，情商水平的高低对一个人能否取得成功也有着重大的影响作用，有时其作用甚至要超过智力水平。那么，到底什么是情商呢？
