《媒介政治》（Media Politics）是針對全球化及資訊革命對政治傳播造成的衝擊，所做的全面性的檢視與反思。 由於『中介』（mediation）已成為當代傳播學最熱門的概念，超越傳統的大眾媒介（mass media）。 特別是在新媒介（new media）時代，『中介』不僅是指涉媒體(media)也是意含脈絡（context）。 所以，藉此關鍵概念，用來貫穿本書的核心。

'Chemical engineering is the field of applied science that employs physical, chemical, and biological rate processes for the betterment of humanity'. This opening sentence of Chapter 1 has been the underlying paradigm of chemical engineering. Chemical Engineering: An Introduction is designed to enable the student to explore the activities in which a modern chemical engineer is involved by focusing on mass and energy balances in liquid-phase processes. Problems explored include the design of a feedback level controller, membrane separation, hemodialysis, optimal design of a process with chemical reaction and separation, washout in a bioreactor, kinetic and mass transfer limits in a two-phase reactor, and the use of the membrane reactor to overcome equilibrium limits on conversion. Mathematics is employed as a language at the most elementary level. Professor Morton M. Denn incorporates design meaningfully; the design and analysis problems are realistic in format and scope.

Forget everything you've read about the age of dumbed-down, instant-gratification culture. In this provocative, intelligent, and convincing endorsement of today's mass entertainment, national bestselling author Steven Johnson argues that the pop culture we soak in every day-from The Lord of the Rings to Grand Theft Auto to The Simpsons-has been growing more and more sophisticated and, far from rotting our brains, is actually posing new cognitive challenges that are making our minds measurably sharper. You will never regard the glow of the video game or television screen the same way again.

In Socializing Medicine, Pao-chen Tang, Yuqian Yan, and Ling Zhang explore the intersections of medicine, health, and East Asian media. Interweaving archival research, audiovisual analyses, and theoretical insights from the emerging field of health humanities, the book reveals the multifaceted ways in which the mass media—from photography and film to television and live streaming—has been deployed as a tool for controlling medicine and health, privileging those with power and authority from the early twentieth century to the present. Adopting anti-colonial and anti-capitalist perspectives, the contributors in this volume challenge the dominant mediations of health against the backdrop of imperialism, Cold War geopolitical tensions, and neoliberal capitalism. Collectively, they advocate for alternative understandings of medical culture through media productions that envision accessible and equitable healthcare practices.

A gripping middle-grade history that offers a fresh look at the groundbreaking 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom by spotlighting the protest's radical roots and the underappreciated role of Black women--includes a wealth of contemporary black-and-white photos throughout. Six decades ago, on August 28, 1963, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his iconic "I Have a Dream" speech during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom--a moment often revered as the culmination of this Black-led protest. But at its core, the March on Washington was not a beautiful dream of future integration; it was a mass outcry for jobs and freedom NOW--not at some undetermined point in the future. It was a revolutionary march with its own controversies and problems, the themes of which still resonate to this day. Without diminishing the words of Dr. King, More Than a Dream looks at the march through a wider lens, using Black newspaper reports as a primary resource, recognizing the overlooked wo

Longquan wares were made mainly in Zhejiang province over a period of over sixteen hundred years, from the 3rd to the 19th centuries. There are two outstanding features of the beautiful Longquan ceramics, one is that the body is made of porcelain, and the other, that the glaze contains kaolin in its composition. This gives Longquan ware unique colour and quality.The body is smooth and dense, the glaze either unctuous or shiny, the colour a myriad shades of kingfisher blue and jade green. The result of development of porcelain technology at Longquan was a tough, attractive, and versatile celadon material that was ideally suited for export. Longquan vessels found their way to a variety of markets around the world, from royal palaces to common dwellings.During the Yuan dynasty a peak in quantity was reached, with more than 150 kiln sites overall. Many new decoration techniques and forms of mass production for global exports emerged, until production almost expired entirely during the late

Guy Montag is a fireman. In his world, where television rules and literature is on the brink of extinction, firemen start fires rather than put them out. His job is to destroy the most illegal of commodities, the printed book, along with the houses in which they are hidden.

★ 入選《The New York Times》2021年度最佳藝術書★ 結合科學、建築、藝術與地緣政治的跨領域鉅作★ 首度建立南極建築普查與多維度視覺資料庫南極，是地球上最極端、也最被忽視的公共領域之一。它覆蓋全球約10%的陸地面積，儲存著約70%的淡水資源，同時也是氣候變遷研究最重要的資料庫。然而，這片冰封大陸並非單純的自然淨土，而是一個隱含資源競逐與國際權力角力的複雜場域。《Antarctic Resolution》試圖突破當代大數據所建構的片段視角，提出一種「高解析」的觀看方式：透過跨國、跨領域專家的共同參與，從地理、科學、建築、政治與人類活動等多重面向，重新描繪南極的全貌。書中收錄專文論述、攝影專題與數據視覺圖像，並首次整理南極建築的完整調查，呈現人類如何在極端環境中建立暫時性的存在。此外，本書也進一步探討南極獨特的國際治理模式，思考在無國界的情境下，人類是否可能發展出新的合作框架。面對氣候變遷與海平面上升的威脅，南極不再只是遙遠的研究對象，而是全球未來的重要關鍵。本書不僅是一部關於南極的研究，更是一個行動提案——邀請讀者重新理解這片大陸，並思考人類應如何共同守護其未來。Named one of the best art books of 2021 by the New York TimesAccounting for approximately 10% of the land mass of Planet Earth, the Antarctic is a global commons we collectively neglect.

「這是我的夢體――我用它在夢中行走。」前衛音樂教母、多媒體實驗家、文化間諜、藝術情報員，她是全方位的藝術天才，也是一部美國當代藝術的發展史。蘿瑞・安德森 Laurie Anderson 親撰、收錄700張珍貴圖照，回顧逾40年藝術生涯的重量圖文大作！特邀新媒體藝術家、蘿瑞・安德森創作夥伴黃心健專文推薦這本書是穿越我漫長藝術家生命的一場旅行。是關於我所失去的以及我所找到的事物。小樹（StreetVoice 音樂頻道總監）、李明璁（社會學家、作家）、耿一偉（策展人）、馬世芳（廣播人）、張世倫（藝評家、作家）、陳德政（作家）、黃聖哲（台灣藝術與文化社會學學會理事長）、魏琬容（OISTAT國際劇場組織執行長）――跨域推薦「我能看見未來，那是一個地方。」身為當代最受尊祟、最具創意的多媒體藝術家之一，美國前衛音樂教母蘿瑞．安德森身兼音樂家、表演藝術家、作曲家、小說作家與電影導演等多重身分，在音樂和純藝術之間自在遊走，本書為安德森首度完整回顧其逾四十年的創作生涯，親自挑選並詳述最具代表性的個人作品。早在二十一世紀高科技勃興多年之前，安德森就因為對新媒體深感興趣，成為使用科技創作出嶄新藝術形式的先驅者。但不論她使用何種媒介，對語言和說故事的探索才是安德森真正的擅長。安德森在近幾前開始重新瀏覽過去四十年來的作品檔案，其中包括大量的文件、筆記本和速寫本。在這個過程中，她有了新的發現，並以全新的眼光審視了許多作品，進而促使她提筆書寫，思索語言如何融入她的視覺作品，並對語言如何受到政治、科技、詩歌所影響，以及故事與歌曲的差異，提出引人深思的評論，也讓讀者透過藝術家本人的文字，對其作品進行更私密的解讀。同時間拍攝的長片《犬之心》（Heart of a Dog）省思生命、生死和周遭所愛之人事物，片中令人動容的旁白許多便收錄於本書中。「看著文字、看見文字、閱讀文字、理解文字， 並把它們連結到思想與事物。有些文字是由光、由記憶所打造出來――而當它們被大聲朗誦出來時――則是由聲音與空氣所構成。」在這本具有里程碑意義的著作中，安德森匯集了她迄今為止最全面的藝術作品集，其中有一些文字與作品過去從未公開亦未曾出版。這本書涵蓋了素描、畫作、手稿、多媒體裝置、表演藝術和電影等各類型作品，內容豐富，貫穿了她開創性的40年藝術生涯，包括她和台灣新媒體藝術家黃心健合作、於2017年在美國麻州當代藝術博物館（Mass
