Praise for One Good Deed

"Engaging, funny, wise, and winning, One Good Deed is a measure of humanity and of McHugh's own striving towards it."

-Susan Orlean, author of Rin Tin Tin and

The Orchid Thief

"One Good Deed is original, sweet-natured and often funny… Erin McHugh makes us ordinary mortals feel like real heels."

-Meg Wolitzer, author of The Uncoupling and The Ten-Year Nap

"I loved this book. It's charming and high-spirited and then it sneaks up from behind and breaks/mends your heart!"

-Susan Cheever, writer, teacher, and author of Louisa May Alcott: A Personal Biography

"Erin McHugh spent one year performing one good deed a day and recording her experiences. The result, this lovely, heartfelt book, shows humanity at its very best. Sometimes her good deeds are small and go unnoticed; other times, they're quite important, and will bring a sting of tears to the reader's eyes. Perhaps McHugh will start a trend. We could certainly do with more people like her in the world."

-Kaylie Jones, author of Lies My Mother Never Told Me: A Memoir

"In Erin McHugh's inspiring book-so gently, so directly written from her gentle, direct heart-she tells us at one point to make someone feel visible. I felt more visible myself as I read it, for she sees quite clearly what we all need-to be shown that showing kindness to others is showing kindness to ourselves."

-Kevin Sessums, author of Mississippi Sissy

英文图书 Rosetta
A funny, bittersweet exploration of how a child can change in one short year of love, loss, and growing up…Seven-year-old Scotty Ocean decides that seven is going to be "his year." But soon after his birthday, his artist-turned-alcoholic mother abandons the family—leaving Scotty and his two older sisters alone with their father.

North and South（IV）北与南（英文版）
英文图书 (英)E.C. Gaskell
North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell is first published in book form in 1855 originally appeared as a twenty-two-part weekly serial from September 1854 through January 1855 in the magazine Household Words, edited by Charles Dickens. The title indicates a major theme of the book: the contrast between the way of life in the industrial north of England and the wealthier south, although it was only under pressure from her publishers that Gaskell changed the title from its original, Margaret Hale. The book is a social novel that tries to show the industrial North and its conflicts in the mid-19th century as seen by an outsider, a socially sensitive lady from the South. The heroine of the story, Margaret Hale, is the daughter of a Nonconformist minister who moves to the fictional industrial town of Milton after leaving the Church of England. The town is modeled after Manchester, where Gaskell lived as the wife of a Unitarian minister.

金匮要略（中华实用方剂大典）
医学刘彬编著
《金匮要略》用方遣药法圆机活，出神入化。其一方中药物或增或减，只在一味两味，而方义主治则别于天壤。尤其用一方治多病，或治一病选数方，更是该书运用方剂之显著特点。如八味肾气丸一方，既治虚劳腰痛，又治痰饮之“短气有微饮”；既治消渴，又治妇人转胞不得溺，此一方之治多病也。再如，胸痹心痛，枳实薤白桂枝汤主之，人参汤亦主之；痰饮病痛“短气有微饮”，苓桂术甘汤主之，肾气丸亦主之；病溢饮者，大青龙汤主之，小青龙汤亦主之等，此一病之用数方也。象这样的例子举不胜举。
