Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde vintage stevenson
Robert Louis Stevenson’s thrilling tale of the mild-mannered Dr. Jekyll and his evil double, Mr. Hyde, is one of the most famous horror stories in English literature. It is also a profound and fascinating fable of the divided self that continues to seize readers’ imaginations. This story of a misguided genius who brings his doppelgänger to life brilliantly dramatizes inner conflict and the capacity for violence and evil in every soul. An instant sensation on its first publication in 1886, Stevenson’s spine-chilling novella has given rise to countless adaptations on stage and screen over the past century, but none can match the power and dark complexity of the original.
Hotel K: The Shocking Inside Story of Bali's Most Notorious Jail [sold]
Welcome to Hotel Kerobokan, or Hotel K, Bali's most notorious jail. Its walls touch paradise; sparkling oceans, surf beaches and palm trees on one side, while on the other it's a dark, bizarre and truly frightening underworld of sex, drugs, violence and squalor. Hotel K's filthy and disease ridden cells have been home to the infamous and the tragic: a Balinese King, Gordon Ramsay's brother, Muslim terror bombers, beautiful women tourists and surfers from across the globe. Petty thieves share cells with killers, rapists, and gangsters. Hardened drug traffickers sleep alongside unlucky tourists, who've seen their holiday turn from paradise to hell over one ecstasy pill. Hotel K is the shocking inside story of the jail and its inmates, revealing the wild 'sex nights' organised by corrupt guards for the prisoners who have cash to pay, the jail's ecstasy factory, the killings made to look like suicides, the days out at the beach, the escapes and the corruption that means anything is for sale - including a fully catered Italian jail wedding, or a luxury cell upgrade with a Bose sound system. The truth about the dark heart of Bali explodes off the page.
被偷走的人生 A Stolen Life: a memoir
1991年一個尋常的上學日，住在加州南太浩湖小鎮的11歲小女孩潔西．杜加，在上學途中被一位男子開車尾隨靠近，男子拿出電擊棒擊昏潔西，把她帶回家中的後院倉庫，從此作為他的性奴隸。潔西在18年囚禁生涯中，於14和17歲共生下兩個女兒，直到2009年8月26日獲救。
本書由僅唸到小學五年級的潔西親筆撰寫，從小父母離異的她，和母親以及繼父與妹妹一同生活，在這個破碎的家庭中她很少感受到愛，書中她從被綁架那一天為始，記錄在密室囚禁的非人生活：她傷心、懼怕、她不解、懷疑、她第一次的性、她以表現乖巧換取微小的心願、她忍受不合理性侵（尤其是綁架者嗑藥的時候）、她懷孕、養育小孩及至最終獲救等等。
有別於同類傳記的是，即使書中不乏令人髮指的行為，然而潔西不以控訴口吻，沒有憤恨加害者的強烈情緒，當然回顧過去也並非毫無痛苦，但她選擇無私說出遭遇，希望同樣的悲劇不再發生。本書是美國2011年度自傳類銷售冠軍，從潔西自述的故事中，讀者看見人性最猥瑣敗德的一面，更且認識了年幼無助的潔西如何從微小的事物中得到支持生存的力量，並在得救之後，又如何揮別不堪的陰影，擁抱遲來的自由。慈悲如潔西．杜加，她是所有身在幸福而不自知者的人生導師。如果閤上這本書時你曾流下眼淚，或許是因為我們共同感受、見證了潔西的勇敢所散發出來的溫暖。

摄影师之眼－超完美曝光 Perfect Exposure - Michael Freeman
曝光：很簡單，不是嗎？不就是光圈、快門和 ISO 感光度－－但實際上並不簡單，卻只會愈來愈複雜！
曝光：很複雜嗎？其實並不然！－－只要你能將曝光的控制回歸到最簡單、最基本的原則，所有的問題就可以迎刃而解了！
曝光：真的有那麼重要嗎？－－該如何獲得正確的曝光，永遠是絕大多數攝影者最關心的話題！
因為最簡單，所以最重要！－－完美的曝光是攝影成功的首要條件，它絕對是值得你花時間一探究竟的主題。
暢銷書作者麥可．弗里曼 (Michael Freeman)，繼《攝影師之眼》之後，再一次精心擘畫的年度代表作！
促使我提筆寫下這本書的原因之一，是數位攝影在曝光上所需考量的因素, 遠比傳統底片機來得複雜多了！坦白說，在網路上有很多宣稱曝光秘技，看起來既難懂又令人費解，而且大多都來自 『非』 專業攝影人士的說法。
從本書的角度（或是說從我的觀點）來看，『曝光』絕不僅是撥動轉盤、按個按鍵而已 －－關鍵在於你該如何掌控光影，並了解該如何呈現你所想要的那個畫面！
有人說在拍照時，你用的是另一雙攝影眼，但想拍出好照片，你還需要懂得如何掌控 ”正確的曝光” ！
超Easy！曝光流程分解圖，立刻判斷曝光上的任何問題。
曝光技術面－19種影響曝光因子逐一探討。
12種曝光情境－用個案 (Case Study) 圖解完美曝光技巧。
曝光創意－19種創作風格, 傾囊傳授大師級的獨門經驗。
數位曝光技法，成就最完美作品的不傳之秘。
書籍示範案例，可上網連結欣賞、比較曝光差異。
攝影師之眼
在攝影時，你用的是另一雙眼睛。
拍照時，透過取景器看到的世界，與肉眼所見會有些微妙且影響重大的差異；而攝影師在創作時，或基於自身經驗，或基於創作意圖，或基於構圖原理，也是用另一雙眼睛，觀看眼前的世界。本書透過攝影師的眼睛，讓你知道如何拍出意涵豐富、出色、具有意圖的畫面，也知道怎麼運用攝影師的眼睛，去解讀攝影作品。

Review
"This book is appealing because of its comprehensiveness and state-of-the-art coverage of database topics. The examples used to explain concepts in each chapter are very realistic and useful for students." - Dr. Sudha Ram, University of Arizona
“Rob and Coronel have improved an already excellent text. This comprehensive text on database systems is a perfect fit for both undergraduate and graduate level introductory courses on database systems. The 6th edition offers new material on advanced SQL and data models, and maintains a wide range of application with multiple DBMS vendors. It is an ideal text for teaching relational and object-relational theory, and introducing students to transactional and decision support database environments. Students benefit greatly from the balance between theory and application presented in the text.” - Samuel Conn, Regis University School for Professional Studies --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

Data Abstraction and Problem Solving with C++: Walls and Mirrors (3rd Edition)
Publisher: Addison Wesley; 3 edition (August 9, 2001)
Hardcover: 944 pages
Product Dimensions: 10.2 x 8.2 x 1.5 inches
Author: Frank M. Carrano
Product Description
This classic book has been revised to further enhance its focus on data abstraction and data structures using C++. The book continues to provide a firm foundation in data abstraction, emphasizing the distinction between specification and implementation as the foundation for an object-oriented approach. The authors cover key object-oriented concepts, including encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism. However, the focus remains on data abstraction instead of simply C++ syntax. The authors also illustrate the role of classes and ADTs in the problem-solving process, and includes major applications of ADTs, such as searching a flight map and event-driven simulation. The book offers early, extensive coverage of recursion and uses this technique in many examples and exercises. It also introduces analysis of algorithms and the Big "O" notation. In addition, this text reviews, in an appendix, basic C++ syntax for those who either have studied the language previously or are making the transition from another language to C++.
