Equal parts Sapiens, Behave, and Superintelligence, but wholly original in scope, A Brief History of Intelligence offers a paradigm shift for how we understand neuroscience and AI. Artificial intelligence entrepreneur Max Bennett chronicles the five "breakthroughs" in the evolution of human intelligence and reveals what brains of the past can tell us about the AI of tomorrow. In the last decade, capabilities of artificial intelligence that had long been the realm of science fiction have, for the first time, become our reality. AI is now able to produce original art, identify tumors in pictures, and even steer our cars. And yet, large gaps remain in what modern AI systems can achieve--indeed, human brains still easily perform intellectual feats that we can't replicate in AI systems. How is it possible that AI can beat a grandmaster at chess but can't effectively load a dishwasher? As AI entrepreneur Max Bennett compellingly argues, finding the answer requires diving into the billion-yea

Inspired by the true World War II history of the few bookshops to survive the Blitz, The Last Bookshop in London is a timeless story of wartime loss, love and the enduring power of literature. August 1939: London is dismal under the weight of impending war with Germany as Hitler's forces continue to sweep across Europe. Into this uncertain maelstrom steps Grace Bennett, young and ready for a fresh start in the bustling city streets she's always dreamed of--and miles away from her troubled past in the countryside. With aspirations of working at a department store, Grace never imagined she'd wind up employed at Primrose Hill, an offbeat bookshop nestled in the heart of the city--after all, she's never been much of a reader. Overwhelmed with organizing the cluttered store, she doesn't have time to read the books she sells. But when one is gifted to her, what starts as an obligation becomes a passion that draws her into the incredible world of literature. As the Blitz rains down bombs on t

本書告訴孩子們取得他人「同意」的主要原則――先問一下。你有說「不」的權利，也要尊重別人有「不同意」的權利。我相信，不會只有孩子們從本書中獲益。──桑德林．范德杜夫，一位善於性學教育的心理學家這是一本讓學校與家庭共讀與分享的重要書籍。讀了本書後，將可讓孩子們彼此友好並且自信地說出「不」這個字。我會把這本書放在學齡前班及父母親的手裡。─索菲亞．貝內特（Sophia Bennett），《更大的圖片》的作者這是一本藉由一隻猴子與朋友間進行搔癢遊戲的故事，告訴3到6歲的孩子什麼是「先取得他人同意」的書。包括家長和老師，都可藉由這本書讓孩子提早了解什麼是「先取得他人同意」，進而讓孩子學習尊重自己與尊重他人也有說「不」的權利。

這部Clinical Visual Optics，我們翻譯作臨床視覺光學。在本書當中，比起光學的原理與解釋，更多的是臨床觀察到的現象與描述，以及如何將這些光學原理用在改善檢測方式，或是作為處方診斷的方法。在翻譯的初期，我察覺到它不太像是“光學＂教科書，更像是“視光學＂教科書；但翻譯到後面，我真心佩服原作者在知識面的完整論述：在章節的議題之下，生理構造、光學假設、臨床案例、前人研究等均有完整的面向進行深入解析。我們作為一個領域的新人，從零開始學習時，需要先將複雜的東西簡化為很單純的片段，才能快速學習；但學習到一定程度後，需要再次將這些片段重整回一個完整的整體，並建構出完整的人體運作邏輯。這本書若您能如同我在翻譯時一樣，一字一句的品到最後，相信必能帶來豐厚的收穫。翻譯是一件辛苦的工作。以前我們常聽到一些說法，認為翻譯品質太差，會曲解原意，不如直接看原文。仔細一品，這句話還蠻妙的：通常翻譯書籍的都是該領域學有專精的學者，找學者來翻譯都會曲解原意了，自己直接看原文就不會曲解嗎？翻譯是一種不同文化間語言的轉換，也因此最難的事情在於，這些語句或許自己看了能夠理解它大概在說甚麼，但要重組成流暢的本土語言，就需要對原作者想要傳達的意思有準確的認識。所以專業書籍很難由一般的外語人才翻譯，而專業人士的中文寫作能力又不見得很流暢。加上對於教職體系的人員而言，翻譯專書是一個非常不被看重的指標，投入這個時間不如多做一些研究、多發一篇期刊，對於自身職涯發展更加有利。但一本中文的教科書，對於許多有心深入學習但有英文閱讀障礙的讀者而言，無疑是大大的降低門檻，對於專業知識的推廣有很深的益處。吳昭漢2023 年6 月馬偕醫護管理專科學校

《紐約時報》暢銷作家，英語世界公認，最會說歷史故事的說書人： 拉爾斯．布朗沃思中古歐洲系列三部曲經典改版回歸！***Amazon 4.8分評價、Goodreads 4.4分評價***這是一場基督徒稱為「聖戰」，穆斯林稱為「法蘭克人入侵」的戰爭也是未來的一千年，基督教與伊斯蘭爭鬥的開端歐洲歷時兩百年的「十字軍東征」即將拉開序幕 十字軍東征（1096-1291）是一場由西方基督教世界號召，集結了包括騎士、商人、農民，甚至兒童等志願兵，延續將近兩百年的宗教戰爭。一波波如潮湧般向東挺進的十字軍隊伍，前前後後共發動了九次，加入奪回聖地耶路撒冷的爭鬥。西歐的基督徒相信，只要收復了耶路撒冷、趕走占據者土耳其人，就可以獲得上帝的恩寵，讓靈魂得到救贖。 十字軍雖然以宗教為號召，實際上卻蘊含複雜的政治與經濟動機。對於那些渴望擴張勢力與領地的王公貴族、缺乏發展空間的失意騎士、追求萬貫財富的商人，乃至於生活於困苦之中的平民而言，參與十字軍不僅意味著靈魂的得救，更是實現個人世俗目標的一種途徑，也因此著名的歷史研究者柏奈特（Judith M. bennett）曾說過：「十字軍遠征聚合了當時的三大時代熱潮：宗教、戰爭和貪欲。」在宗教熱情與世俗欲望的交織之中，十字軍東征的歷史軌跡揭示出人性最深層、也最真實的面貌。 本書中，作者布朗沃思延續《諾曼風雲》、《維京傳奇》的生動筆法，闡述歷數這兩百年間，九次十字軍東征運動的源起與結束，此外也對十字軍在東方建立的四個國家：耶路撒冷王國、安條克公國、的黎波里伯國跟埃德薩伯國，因十字軍而起的三大騎士團：醫院騎士團、聖殿騎士團、條頓騎士團，有相當細微的描寫。本書相當適合做為想要認識十字軍東征的梗概，了解十字軍東征對基督教與伊斯蘭世界影響的入門歷史書。

說『請』從未如此重要！‧英國水石童書繪本大獎 作者Simon Philip‧‧世界插畫獎 繪者Nathan Reed‧繼得獎繪作《哈啾！》（ACHOO！）後再度聯手創作兒童﹝生活禮儀〕主題繪本──【表達尊重／幽默創意】對別人提出要求時，記得說「請」是一種禮貌。但是當比爾忘了說「請」的時候，後果比他想的還糟糕！因為他被捲進了一場瘋狂的冒險，先是被外星蟾蜍綁架、又遇到可怕的老虎、甚至還得躲開魔法師和精靈的攻擊！直到他終於記得說出「請」這個字…… ──★用誇張有趣的情節及畫面，告訴孩子禮貌的重要性。◎讀者好評 「這是一趟令人捧腹大笑的冒險之旅，其中包括太空船、叢林、犛牛、童話城堡和一大群外星蟾蜍。說『請』從未如此重要! 」——主題書籍評論「是的，菲利浦和里德正在給孩子們上一堂寶貴的課，讀者絕對會記住那些極其幽默好笑的故事情節和插圖。」——書商評論「非常適合幼兒和所有喜歡幽默和想像力故事的孩子，或任何試圖強調『請』很重要的父母。」——伊尼斯雜誌「這是一本可以與幼兒分享的書，也是孩子們會經常想看的書籍之一。它適合用來探討關於禮貌和禮儀的主題，故事結尾也將引起更多的預測和討論。可以和孩子們一起分享這本書，也可以讓孩子單獨閱讀，享受它歡快的節奏。」——Just Imagine 書評網/小學閱讀講師Anne Bradley「賽門•菲利浦的搞笑文字和納森•里德在比爾的教訓之旅中同樣搞笑的場景肯定會讓兒童和成人讀者大聲笑，每翻一頁都會開懷大笑……」——紅色閱讀中心 書評網／Jill Bennett「一本關於『使用你的禮貌』以及『如果你忘記使用它們』會發生什麼的有趣讀物……這是我們家一直被要求反覆閱讀的書！」——教師讀者ALEX「這是一本輕鬆有趣的童書，主題是提醒孩子記得說『請』，培養孩子成為有禮貌的成年人。它的插圖豐富，具備繽紛色彩且充滿活力，我和孩子都很喜歡。」——網書讀者carolyn◎引導閱讀 我們都懂得，說話溝通、告知自己的需求或請託他人時，說「請」這個字是一種禮貌，也是傳達尊重、增進人際和諧的行為表現，例如「請給我一杯咖啡」、「請幫我查詢一下」等等。但有些人有的時候會忘記這麼做，或是認為有沒有在言語中加上「請」這個字並不重要，不需要這麼做──有人會想，畢竟只是忘記說一個字……沒那麼嚴重吧？ 哎呀！沒想到我們的故事主角比爾，在購買冰淇淋時忘記說出這個非常簡單的字，後果竟

以風景和古跡聞名的杭州西湖，千百年來歷經多番變遷，共和國初期的大規模改造工程更是前所未有。西湖疏浚、植樹造林、建造花港觀魚公園、養豬及平墳運動—這一系列「宣傳－運動」項目旨在打造一個「人民的西湖」。這項轟轟烈烈的社會主義事業，映照著人類規劃與自然界應對之間的互動與糾纏。 誰在決定西湖的過去與未來？作者強調，人類之外，湖水、淤泥、微生物、公園、樹木、害蟲、豬、墳墓等亦扮演重要角色。本書以「非人類研究」的思路，剖析各種非人類特有的「能動性」如何參與、影響或阻撓了西湖的改造，揭示人類與自然共同作用之下歷史的複雜性。 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 本書是一本具有獨特視角的中國社會主義城市的研究。從毛澤東時代西湖的一系列變遷，來觀察政治決策與環境的關係、景觀的重塑、新政權征服自然的雄心壯志，以及所取得的成果和付出的代價。對於關注人民共和國初期歷史的學者和學生，這是一本重要的必讀書。—王笛（澳門大學歷史系教授） 作者以政治生態學的觀點，描述毛澤東時代的環境政策、地理規劃和環境工程，探討在生物圈、自然景觀和人性本質等題目上，人類對「自然」的觀念和實踐如何複雜多變，描繪了政治生態學的方案及其敗筆。本書為審視社會主義中國的城市化和現代化進程，提供了令人耳目一新的視角。—王斑（史丹福大學東亞語言與文化系、比較文學系教授） 讀罷《人民的西湖》，不由得想起宋人楊萬里那首〈曉出淨慈寺送林子方〉。如果說今日海內外方興未艾的中國環境史研究猶如六月西湖之「接天蓮葉無窮碧」，本書則給人一種「映日荷花別樣紅」的意象。其以「非目的性的能動性」為線索編織而成的、由人類與非人類角色交互纏繞共同上演的新西湖史，當為新時代中國歷史書寫提供了非同尋常的新路徑。—夏明方（中國人民大學清史研究所教授） 在人文和社會科學領域，「自然」常被視為人類行動以下的惰性或被動對象，或人類事件發生的平台，這種情況在跨學科中國研究領域尤其突出。《人民的西湖》建立了一個簡．貝內特（Jane Bennett）稱為非人類「分配能動性」的框架，以此探討毛澤東時代的

本書的出版相當及時，除了切中時代痛點，更難得的是提出諸多解方。目前，全世界各地包括美國和台灣都面臨一定程度的民主危機、虛假訊息與不實訊息的危害，以及數位平台壟斷的弊病。這些問題和優質新聞業的存續危機同步，有必要對症下藥，重建真正能夠為人民與公共利益服務的新聞業。當然，這也是台灣無法迴避的功課，值得有更多人共同關注民主、新聞媒體與虛假／不實訊息，以及數位平台壟斷問題，本書相當有助於我們展開這些問題與解方的公共討論與想像。本書自2019年12月由牛津大學出版社發行以來，獲得包括杭士基、麥契斯尼在內的許多名家一致推薦：「皮卡德對美國市場原教旨主義對政策討論當中的『話語／論述俘虜』現象進行了尖銳批評和歷史回顧，該現象甚至禁止吾人討論建國之父們曾經許諾的積極的政府角色，以確保公眾得以從一個生動、充滿活力與多樣性的媒體系統獲得充分資訊。本書雄辯而謹慎地呼籲重新振興已經失落的許諾，以克服媒體的嚴重結構性危機及其對民主運作的有害影響。一本非常重要的書！」 ──杭士基（或譯喬姆斯基，Noam Chomsky），麻省理工學院(MIT)教授「當前很少有一個主題比民主實踐和制度的崩壞，以及社群媒體和網際網路發動的宣傳攻勢，更值得且受到更多關注。其中，明顯付之闕如的一個最重要因素：商業新聞媒體如自由落體般下墜和分崩離析，以至於與上一代人相比，美國幾乎已不存在新聞業。維克多•皮卡德在其極具原創性的這本書裡出色地解釋了這場危機，並為重新讓民主恢復健全狀態的可能解方提供了基於證據的路線圖。這本精彩的書被廣泛閱讀，符合我們所有人的利益。」── 麥契斯尼（Robert W. McChesney），伊利諾大學厄巴納─香檳分校教授「這是我讀過關於美國新聞業危機的最佳書籍。皮卡德不僅展示了新聞業岌岌可危的商業處境如何導致當代民主陷入脆弱狀態，而且他還描繪了一條通往更可靠的公共訊息與更強健的民主之道路。」── 班奈特（W. Lance Bennett），華盛頓大學（西雅圖）教授「部分是新聞史，部分是政策分析，部分是對媒體未來的沉思，《新聞崩壞，何以民主？》是一本出色的書。皮卡德專業地描述了市場和公共政策如何造成新聞業的失敗，並提供了再造美國公共媒體以促進民主的具體建議。」── 漢密爾頓（James T. Hamilton），史丹福大學教授
