The authors give a full exposition of all results, as well as numerous exercises and comments to complement the text and aid graduate students in functional analysis. The book will also be an invaluable reference volume for researchers in analysis. Volume 1 covers the basics of Banach space theory, operatory theory in Banach spaces, harmonic analysis and probability. The authors also provide an annex devoted to compact Abelian groups.

羅莎．波妮爾是十九世紀法國最知名的女性畫家，以描繪動物的作品廣受喜愛。她過著與時代規範不同的生活，不僅穿著褲裝、抽菸、狩獵，也與女性伴侶一同生活。本書由她的好友與伴侶安娜．克倫普克記錄下她的生命故事，穿插波妮爾親述的回憶，呈現她對藝術、性別與自由的獨特理解，是一部關於創作與真實人生的動人記錄。Hailed by her contemporaries as the most popular animal-painter, male or female, of the nineteenth century, the French artist Rosa Bonheur (1822-99) lived to see her name become a household word. In a century that did its best to keep women "in their place," Bonheur, like George Sand--to whom she was often compared--defined herself outside of the social and legal codes of her time. To the horror and bewilderment of many, she earned her own money, managed her own property, wore trousers, hunted, smoked, and lived in retreat with female companions in a little chateau near Fountainebleau named The Domain of Perfect Affection.Rosa Bonheur: The Artist's (Auto)Biography brings this extraordinary woman to life in a unique blend of biography and autobiography. Coupling her own memories with Bonheur's first-person account, Anna Klumpke, a young Ameri

全球歷經三年多的新冠疫情紛擾，期間所實行的社交距離規範與隔離政策，大幅改變人們的工作與生活模式，進而衝擊產業運作與生態發展，影響所及擴及產業鏈上中下游等各環節，並已逐漸發展為新常態，而此現象在作為人們生活具體體現的文化內容領域尤其明顯。台經月刊專題鎖定文化內容領域，透過國際相關文獻以及標竿案例分析，觀察疫後文化內容領域新興發展趨勢，如Podcast、有聲書等聲音經濟的進化、文化內容IP (Intellectual Property)的跨域發展模式、文化相關領域之新興科技應用，如延展實境技術(Extended Reality, XR)與生成式人工智慧(AI Generated Content, AIGC)等，以及觀光領域新發展模式等。面對上述新興發展趨勢，各國政府也積極投入相關政策工具，以援助相關產業發展，尤以文化內容產業的人才養成方面，如韓國政府透過跨部會資源，瞄準產業需求，培育創作端、內容輸出端以及跨領域等相關人才；而在數位科技的發展趨勢下，數位化與數據治理相關政策亦逐漸受到各國政府重視，包含英國、日本、韓國、澳洲與中國等皆提出相對應的數據戰略，以協助相關產業在疫後新常態中找到發展的新出路。值得注意的是，疫情期間加速文化內容相關領域的數位轉型，各式平台的角色為內容創作者帶來更多機會，同時也持續壯大平台本身。在此趨勢下，免費影音串流平台如YouTube、Facebook等大型平台在賺取龐大的廣告收益下，卻未能給予創作者合理的版稅，形成不對等的關係。未來相關主管機關應持續關注此議題，如何在數位平台的商業模式，以及給予創作者的報酬中取得平衡，將是文化內容相關領域永續發展的關鍵。
