MHL’s Chinese collection includes fiction and non-fiction. Take a look at the new books on this list. Better yet, come in and browse on the 2nd (top) floor. 金錢魔法 =……日常毒物 : 喝瓶裝水會得癌症嗎? 農藥殘留有多危險? 做好日常風險評估的第一本書 = Everyday chemicals : understanding the risks by Gerald A. LeBlanc 大眾對日常生活中化學物質的存在已經高度敏感。關於水中的工業污染物、食品中的農藥以及化妝品和個人護理產品中的化學物質的信息，讓普通人感到恐懼，擔心自己和家人的健康安全已經失控。不幸的是，大多數關於這個主題的書籍都是為普通讀者撰寫的，這加劇了這種擔憂，因為它們只描述了我們環境中化學物質的危害，卻沒有考慮這些危害在正常生活條件下是否可能發生。也就是說，它們只描述了危害，卻沒有考慮風險。本書精簡並簡化了風險評估程序，使一般人掌握必要的知識和工具，從而理性地評估他們接觸到的化學物質是否可能造成危害。本書將透過現實世界的案例，引導讀者了解風險評估的基本概念。他們將學習如何利用基礎研究—-主要是互聯網搜尋—-來查找科學可靠的信息，以進行風險評估。重要的是，他們將學習如何從…的角度來應對環境中化學物質的難題。理性而非感性的視角」–由出版商提供。 监狱里的图书馆 = Running the books by Avi Steinberg 在这座监狱图书馆，每个孤独者和守望者都会找到自己的天堂。毕业于哈佛大学的阿维，是别人眼中一个从不逾矩的模范生，人人都把他当作教育自家孩子的榜样。然而，这一切在他毕业后戛然而止，命运彻底抛弃了他：朋友离去，亲人嘲讽，每日靠着不稳定的薪水过活……阿维不明白，自己的人生为什么走到了这一步？某天，阿维无意中看到一则监狱图书管理员的招聘启事，处于人生低谷的他突发奇想，渴望从这个代表着毁灭与梦想的地方找回人生的意义。在那里，早年抛弃儿子的杰西卡，偷偷窥视着监狱另一边的儿子；皮条客甜哥每天最重要的事，就是写自己的自传；谋杀犯楚尼跟着电视节目学习菜品，梦想出狱后有自己的烹饪节目……图书馆把每个人的人生都串联起来。阿维迫切地想要知道：他们渴求的救赎与改变最终会降临吗？ 天下格局 : 文明转换关口的世界 by…
