And the Mountains Echoed

《山谷的回響》

Author： Khaled Hosseini

Publisher： Riverhead Hardcover

Khaled Hosseini， the #1 New York Times–bestselling author of ‘The Kite Runner’ and ‘A Thousand Splendid Suns’， has written a new novel about how we love， how we take care of one another， and how the choices we make resonate through generations. In this tale revolving around not just parents and children but brothers and sisters， cousins and caretakers， Hosseini explores the many ways in which families nurture， wound， betray， honor， and sacrifice for one another； and how often we are surprised by the actions of those closest to us， at the times that matter most. Following its characters and the ramifications of their lives and choices and loves around the globe—from Kabul to Paris to San Francisco to the Greek island of Tinos—the story expands gradually outward， becoming more emotionally complex and powerful with each turning page.

The Future： Six Drivers of Global Change

《未來(lái)：改變?nèi)虻牧篁?qū)動(dòng)力》

Author： Al Gore Publisher： Random House LLC

From the former vice president and #1 New York Times bestselling author comes An Inconvenient Truth for everything—a frank and clear-eyed assessment of six critical drivers of global change in the decades to come.

Ours is a time of revolutionary change that has no precedent in history. With the same passion he brought to the challenge of climate change， and with his decades of experience on the front lines of global policy， Al Gore surveys our planet’s beclouded horizon and offers a sober， learned， and ultimately hopeful forecast in the visionary tradition of Alvin Toffler’s Future Shock and John Naisbitt’s Megatrends. In The Future， Gore identifies the emerging forces that are reshaping our world.

From his earliest days in public life， Al Gore has been warning us of the promise and peril of emergent truths—no matter how “inconvenient” they may seem to be. As absorbing as it is visionary， The Future is a map of the world to come， from a man who has looked ahead before and been proven all too right.
