本書不是講述種種神話，而是闡述神話研究的種種方法，或者說神話的種種理論，並且是限定在現代神話理論的範圍之內。神話理論和神話本身一樣古老，其出現至少可以追溯到前蘇格拉底時代。

本書論及的所有理論都把神話看作故事。誠然，泰勒(E. B. Taylor)將故事轉變成了一種不言而喻的概括，但這一概括依然要由故事來承載。列維–施特勞斯(Claude Lévi-Strauss)超脫於故事以尋求神話的「結構」，但同樣的，結構要由故事來承載。從象徵意義而不是字面意義來解讀神話的理論仍然把神話的主題—或者說意義—看作是故事的展開。如果說神話被看作是故事，那麼，這故事講述的是甚麼呢？

所有動物一律平等，但有些動物比其他動物更平等。 劉紹銘教授重新翻譯歐威爾經典名作 曼納農莊莊主鍾斯先生飽食終日，性嗜杯中物，為人刻薄寡恩，農莊內的大小豬狗牛羊雞馬騾，日間撐着老命給莊主幹活，吃的只夠半飽，且不說工作表現一不如意就得受皮肉之苦。 且說一個仲夏之夜鍾斯在酒鋪買醉，晨昏顛倒，隔天中午才回到農莊，完全沒有把餵飼動物這回事放在心上。他一摸進家門便倒頭睡在客廳沙發上。動物們也因此一直空着肚子捱餓。最後他們實在忍不住了，但見一隻牛用角撞開貯糧庫的大門，各動物應聲而上，各自分頭從飼料箱取東西填肚子。 鍾斯先生這時突然驚醒，一瞬間跟手下四名傭工趕到貯糧庫，手執皮鞭四邊狠狠的抽打一番。這教肚子餓壞了的動物忍無可忍，大夥兒不約而同撲向一直折磨他們的狠心主人。鍾斯一夥突然發覺四面受敵，被犄角牴，蹄子踢，形勢完全失控。他們從沒見過或想過動物竟然有此舉動。這些牲畜都曾經是他們隨意鞭撻、即興折磨的奴隸，現在居然變了面，怎教他不嚇破了膽。就在這電光火石的一刻，他們決定不再糾纏了，拔腿飛跑，離開了曼納農莊。 動物終於當家作主，成了農莊主人，從此─ 歐威爾的《動物農莊》原副題為「童話故事」，旨在諷刺蘇聯革命，並推而廣之警醒大眾在種種煽動的、危險的「社會主義」論調中保持清醒，提高警覺。

Renowned urban artist Shepard Fairey's new look for Orwell's timeless satire 'All animals are equal. But some animals are more equal than others.' Mr Jones of Manor Farm is so lazy and drunken that one day he forgets to feed his livestock. The ensuing rebellion under the leadership of the pigs Napoleon and Snowball leads to the animals taking over the farm. Vowing to eliminate the terrible inequities of the farmyard, the renamed Animal Farm is organised to benefit all who walk on four legs. But as time passes, the ideals of the rebellion are corrupted, then forgotten. And something new and unexpected emerges. . . Animal Farm - the history of a revolution that went wrong - is George Orwell's brilliant satire on the corrupting influence of power.

Renowned urban artist Shepard Fairey's new look for Orwell's dystopian masterpiece Winston Smith works for the Ministry of Truth in London, chief city of Airstrip One. Big Brother stares out from every poster, the Thought Police uncover every act of betrayal. When Winston finds love with Julia, he discovers that life does not have to be dull and deadening, and awakens to new possibilities. Despite the police helicopters that hover and circle overhead, Winston and Julia begin to question the Party; they are drawn towards conspiracy. Yet Big Brother will not tolerate dissent - even in the mind. For those with original thoughts they invented Room 101. . . 1984 is George Orwell's terrifying vision of a totalitarian future in which everything and everyone is slave to a tyrannical regime.

From the Nobel Prize-winning author of Thinking, Fast and Slow and the coauthor of Nudge, a revolutionary exploration of why people make bad judgments and how to make better ones--"a tour de force” (New York Times).

Imagine that two doctors in the same city give different diagnoses to identical patients—or that two judges in the same courthouse give markedly different sentences to people who have committed the same crime. Suppose that different interviewers at the same firm make different decisions about indistinguishable job applicants—or that when a company is handling customer complaints, the resolution depends on who happens to answer the phone. Now imagine that the same doctor, the same judge, the same interviewer, or the same customer service agent makes different decisions depending on whether it is morning or afternoon, or Monday rather than Wednesday. These are examples of noise: variability in judgments that should be identical.

In Noise, Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony, and Cass R. Sunstein show the detrimental effects of noise in many fields, including medicine, law, economic forecasting, forensic science, bail, child protection, strategy, performance reviews, and personnel selection. Wherever there is judgment, there is noise. Yet, most of the time, individuals and organizations alike are unaware of it. They neglect noise. With a few simple remedies, people can reduce both noise and bias, and so make far better decisions.

Packed with original ideas, and offering the same kinds of research-based insights that made Thinking, Fast and Slow and Nudge groundbreaking New York Times bestsellers, Noise explains how and why humans are so susceptible to noise in judgment—and what we can do about it.
