曾經在大學教書三十年的建築師羅榮源，有一半時間在教授美術相關課程，尤其是只有一個學期的選修課，必須思考如何讓學生有最多收穫及學習效果，因此在課堂上試著教「剪貼」，幾年下來反應很不錯。 羅榮源把教授剪貼的課程，也在自己的太太謝碧芬身上實驗，一開始動手，馬上就交出令人驚艷的作品。她先從身旁用剩下「無用」的卡典西德做為媒材，然後又學習「自動性繪畫」結合布料創作，近年更搭配歐普藝術，使作品更有空間層次感。 本書藉由謝碧芬的創作故事與四十幅作品（中、英文對照），可以讓大家感受到「YES！YOU CAN DO !」並深入體會一位從大家認為「無用」回收材料開始，轉化成具有「大用的心靈雞湯」的藝術工作者。也期許這本書的出版，能夠給常常千篇一律的兒童畫，注入另一種媒材創作的方式與方法。

預防下一場疫病大流行發生成為各國重要議題。Bill Gates以世界級專家的知識與蓋茲基金會對抗重大疾病的經驗為基礎，深入淺出解析傳染病，並提出國與國之間，政府與民間單位聯手合作，不只能阻擋下一場疫病，更有機會消滅所有呼吸道相關疾病。A new book by Bill Gates that lays out a clear plan to prevent future pandemics The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over. But even as governments around the world try to get it under control, they're also starting to talk about what happens next. How can we prevent another pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy? Can we even hope to accomplish this? Bill Gates believes the answer is yes, and he has written a largely upbeat book that lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should learn from COVID-19, explains the science of fighting pandemics, and suggests what all of us can do to help prevent another one. Given the worldwide success of How to Avoid a Climate Disaster (which debuted at #1 on the New York Times best seller list), Gates is more respected than ever for his approach to solving the world's biggest challenges.
