HONG KONG LITERATURE SERIESSeries Editor: John MinfordAfter her celebrated The Teddy Bear Chronicles, Xi Xi turns her creative vision towards the world of the primate kingdom. At the age of 73, despite physical challenges, Xi Xi traveled extensively across Asia, from tropical forests to conservation centers, immersing herself in the natural world of apes and monkeys.This book is one of the remarkable outcomes of this journey. Xi Xi documented 51 endearing ape and monkey puppets that she had sewn, weaving them into a series of insightful dialogues with her friend, the Hong Kong writer Ho Fuk Yan. These discussions cover the depiction of apes and monkeys in Chinese and Western literature, painting, drama, and film, as well as the interconnectedness of humans and their primate relatives. Xi Xi’s words, filled with empathy, reveal the heart of her work: ‘If there is a common theme to our conversation, it is to respect life and speak for those lives that have been discriminated against in t

An analysis of the lessons learned from tuberculosis control in Shanghai. Tuberculosis Control and Institutional Change in Shanghai, 1911-2011 is the first book on the most widespread and deadly infectious disease in China, both historically and today. Weaving together interviews with data from periodicals and local archives in Shanghai, Rachel Core examines the rise and fall of tuberculosis control in China from the 1950s to the 1990s. Under the socialist work unit system, the vast majority of people had guaranteed employment, a host of benefits tied to their workplace, and there was little mobility--factors that made the delivery of medical and public health services possible in both urban and rural areas. The dismantling of work units amid wider market reforms in the 1980s and 1990s led to the rise of temporary and casual employment and a huge migrant worker population, with little access to health care, creating new challenges in TB control. This study of Shanghai will provide valu

The introduction of elections to district advisory bodies during the early 1980s was expected to improve the public delivery of services. However, as time passed, electoral politics led to party politics, elite fragmentation and political struggles. Politicization and hyper-politicization in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has brought about a fluctuating pattern between administrative recentralization, the Tsang administration’s attempts at decentralization, and the post-2019 administrative recentralization.The purpose of this book is to study the intertwining relationship between district administration and electoral politics. It also examines the political transformation of District Councils after the promulgation of the National Security Law in late June 2020. Written by experts in the field, this book is a good reference source for readers interested in district elections, politics, and administration in Hong Kong.

Named with a simple word meaning ‘cloth’, NUNO is one of Japan’s most important textile-design companies. Founded in 1984 by the legendary Junichi Arai and the company’s current director, Reiko Sudo, it is recognized as one of the world’s most innovative textile producers. Known for weaving together tradition and cutting-edge technology, NUNO designers are inspired by the past, present and future, integrating unexpected elements, such as paper or feathers or aluminium, with industrial methods, such as spatter-plating and chemical etching.All NUNO textiles – more than 2,500 have been created – are produced in Japan and are usually the handiwork of an individual craftsperson. Each bolt of cloth has a story to tell. Though their textiles appear regularly in books, textile exhibitions and museum collections, a comprehensive NUNO monograph has not existed - until now.Featuring the most outstanding, influential or experimental fabrics, the book is organized into seven chapters, each based on

Debates about the origins and effects of European rule in the non-European world have animated the field of economic history since the 1850s. This pioneering text provides a concise and accessible resource that introduces key readings, builds connections between ideas and helps students to develop informed views of colonialism as a force in shaping the modern world. With special reference to European colonialism of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in both Asia and Africa, this book:• critically reviews the literature on colonialism and economic growth;• covers a range of different methods of analysis;• offers a comparative approach, as opposed to a collection of regional histories, deftly weaving together different themes.With debates around globalization, migration, global finance and environmental change intensifying, this authoritative account of the relationship between colonialism and economic development makes an invaluable contribution to several distinct literatures in ec

「2029年，AI將通過圖靈測試，聽得懂笑話、理解愛的機器人將會出現」 「2045年，人類將進入技術奇點，電腦可以與人腦完美結合」 這是本書作者雷‧庫茲威爾（Ray Kurzweil）曾經做出的大膽預測，如今將要實現。他曾擔任Google的工程總監，目前為Google的首席研究員和AI遠見家，是當今最具影響力的發明家、思想家、未來學家、AI的先驅研究者。他在這本書中，將揭露「人類－機器」文明史上最重要的計畫，也就是運用「逆向工程」來還原人腦的運作模式，利用模擬人類的大腦運作，來實現人工智慧（AI）。AI的概念，大約起於1940年代，圖靈（Alan Turing）、馮諾曼（John von Neumann）等人進行的思考實驗與實作……直到今天，AI已經進入人們的生活，帶來了翻天覆地的影響。然而，電腦能夠變得如此聰明，要歸功於幾十年來腦科學、計算能力的大幅進步。作者估計，人腦的新皮質中大約有3億個模式辨識器（pattern recognizer），它們是同步運作的，可以處理從低概念層級的例如視覺、聽覺的基本輸入，到高概念層級的判斷、預測、表達等等；而各個神經元之間有一千兆個連結，使得「學習」成為可能。重點是，人腦的新皮質是一種層級式的結構，而AI的模型也依此而建立。書中將重點介紹「思維模式辨識理論」（Pattern Recognition Theory of Mind），據以建立模擬人腦的模型，因此，電腦能夠有學習能力、具有意識，能夠理解情感、表達情感，並能懂得雙關語、幽默和嫉妒。融合了神經科學研究以及指數型成長的計算能力，這本書解釋了AI的基本原理與實作，以及未來的發展，我們將會造出比人類更聰明的機器，並且幫助解決人類社會的重要問題。★★★本書為《人工智慧的未來》改版★★★相關報導：作者庫茲威爾於TED的演講（中文字幕）https://www.ted.com/talks/ray_kurzweil_get_ready_for_hybrid_thinking?subtitle=zh-tw Google賦予機器人「意識」的專家：聽得懂笑話、理解愛的機器人會在2029年出現（《WIRED》訪問作者庫茲威爾）http://techorange.com/2013/12/06/how-ray-kurzweil-help-google-make-the

[名家名著] 37 Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs中文版：掌握軟體開發中的錯誤、取捨與關鍵決策 Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs: How to make good programming decisions ❝Teddy長期研究Pattern Language，有一個很深的體會：每一個設計決策，都只是「局部的回應」。真正困難的，是把這些局部組織成一個和諧的整體。 AI可以提供大量「局部解法」，但整合這些解法需要的，是對「這個團隊、這個市場、這個時間點」的情境理解。這種情境沒辦法完全寫成規格書，因為它牽涉到人的能力邊界、組織的演進節奏、技術債的承受極限。這些東西每個專案都不一樣，而且會隨時間改變。這不是AI的context window再怎麼變大就能解決的問題。 要看見整體，不能只盯著零件。AI幫你把門檻拉低之後，真正稀缺的能力，是在眾多可能性之中，做出有脈絡、能長期承擔的選擇。不是盲目的節制，而是清楚知道代價之後，有意識地決定扛下哪些、放掉哪些。 如果鄉民們希望自己在AI時代，不只是會下提示詞的PM，而是能為系統負責的架構師，那麼這本書值得細細品味。❞ ────「搞笑談軟工」板主Teddy Chen　專文推薦 ❝在軟體工程的實務現場，幾乎沒有哪一個決策是「免費」的。每一次選擇某種架構、某種設計模式、某種API風格，或某種錯誤處理策略，實際上都意味著放棄其他可能性。這些放棄，往往不會在當下立即顯現代價，而是潛伏在未來的維護成本、效能瓶頸、擴充困難、組織協作摩擦與技術債之中。 《Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs中文版》所關注的，正是這些在實際上線系統（production systems）中反覆出現的取捨問題。本書並不試圖建立一套抽象理論，而是從具體情境出發：在特定背景、限制與壓力之下，團隊如何做出選擇？有哪些替代方案？當時忽略了什麼？哪些後果在事後才浮現？哪些判斷其實是合理的，只是代價延後到未來？ 這樣的視角，使本書成為一本極具實務厚度的工程決策紀錄。❞ ────博碩文化資深編輯與翻譯　盧國鳳 ❝真希望我能在職涯更早期就讀到這本書。書中濃縮了許多從實務中得來的寶貴經驗。❞ ────Dave Corun，Avanade ❝清楚而精準地總結了多年軟體工程實務的精華，新手與老手都值
