The Cambridge Companion to Literature and the Environment is an authoritative guide to the exciting new interdisciplinary field of environmental literary criticism. The collection traces the development of ecocriticism from its origins in European pastoral literature and offers fifteen rigorous but accessible essays on the present state of environmental literary scholarship. Contributions from leading experts in the field probe a range of issues, including the place of the human within nature, ecofeminism and gender, engagements with European philosophy and the biological sciences, critical animal studies, postcolonialism, posthumanism, and climate change. A chronology of key publications and bibliography provide ample resources for further reading, making The Cambridge Companion to Literature and the Environment an essential guide for students, teachers, and scholars working in this rapidly developing area of study.

這套廣受推崇的《費曼物理學講義》，源自費曼對教學的一場實驗。內容涵蓋牛頓力學、相對論與量子理論，以淺白、生動的方式介紹物理核心概念，是入門學習與珍藏閱讀的經典之作。"The whole thing was basically an experiment," Richard Feynman said late in his career, looking back on the origins of his lectures. The experiment turned out to be hugely successful, spawning publications that have remained definitive and introductory to physics for decades. Ranging from the basic principles of Newtonian physics through such formidable theories as general relativity and quantum mechanics, Feynman’s lectures stand as a monument of clear exposition and deep insight.Timeless and collectible, the lectures are essential reading, not just for students of physics but for anyone seeking an introduction to the field from the inimitable Feynman.

◎什麼是斜率？這是微積分的基礎，化成火車時刻表就很好懂。 ◎球體的表面積和體積怎麼算？把水餃看成球，皮是表面積，餡就是體積。 ◎曲線的極值點是？就是股價圖的轉折處，反彈上漲時是極小值，下跌時是極大值。 本書作者劉祺，是程式設計師、數學達人， 他用10個生活中常見的場景，先說明數學的基本原理，再帶入微積分概念， 有別於一般教科書或講義直接強調公式定理、盲目計算證明， 就像有個精通微積分的朋友在面前，一步一步慢慢講解給你聽一樣。 函數、曲線、斜率、極限、導數、不定積分、均值定理、圓面積和圓周長…… 學測、分科測驗爭分關鍵、商學院大一必修， 基礎微積分概念，只要1天1小時，7天就能全部搞懂， 如果你怕重修、或重修中，這一回一定能輕鬆「過」。 ◎函數是啥？是一種對應關係。用「縮印」來比方 ‧如果1張紙裡可以印4頁內容，2張紙可以印8頁內容， 寫成算式就是：實際使用張數＝要列印內容的頁數÷4。 「實際使用幾張」紙，會隨著「要列印幾頁」內容而改變， 用函數y=f(x)來表示， 「要列印幾頁」是x，「實際使用張數」就是y。 ◎斜率是微積分的基礎，化成火車時刻表就好懂 ‧把火車時刻表畫成座標圖， 水平方向是時間，垂直方向是站名，斜率就是火車速度， 當速度越快，座標圖裡兩站之間的直線就越陡，斜率也越大。 ‧為什麼函數裡的數值越大，斜率越趨近於0？用揉麵團做比喻就知道。 剛開始揉時，添加少量麵粉，麵團一下就變大很多， 等到麵團大小達到臨界值時，再加入麵粉，體積變化就不明顯， 甚至看不出來（幾乎沒有變大就是趨近於0）。 ◎覺得微分較易懂，積分難想像？ 看一件衣服用掉多少布，學曲邊梯形面積怎麼算 ‧衣服的每一片布面，都可以看成是一個由曲線圍成的面積， 布料裡的織線，就像是把圖形切成寬度趨近於0的長方形， 把所有長方形（所有織線）加總起來， 就是曲邊梯形的面積（布面面積）。 ◎看到符號就頭痛？其實意思很直白 ‧微積分裡最常見的符號∫， 是英文單字Summation（總和）字首S的變形， 表示計算後方運算式的「和」，類似於∑（sigma）。 ‧還有lim、x→x0、f(4)…… 是什麼意思？為什麼有時可以省略？ 商管學院學生必備、高中生爭分必讀，快速搞定斜率、曲邊梯形面積、極限…… 微積分不再是大魔王。
