《魔球》是小蝦米扳倒大鯨魚的故事，《聰明看棒球》則教你成為「常勝」的大鯨魚！ESPN資深棒球作家、《思維誤判》作者洛爾經典之作挑戰現有的棒球教條，顛覆「老害」心中的棒球文化教您如何運用「賽伯計量學」，更聰明地看棒球、打棒球、管理球隊想成為「專業」的球迷、球評、球隊管理者前，你必須知道──╳別再用打擊率、勝投、救援成功和守備率這些無用的垃圾數據了。╳「關鍵時刻」可以開無雙的打者、後位打者可以保護前位打者，都是棒球文化中的迷思。◎wOBA、wRC是評判一名打者好壞的最佳依據。◎常「煮粥」不代表守備差，UZR、dRS是更好的判準。◎「問天」不用怕，FIP會比防禦率更能看出投手的本事。◎想戰誰是「薪水小偷」或「勞工之恥」，看WAR和WPA就對了。麥可．路易士《魔球》問世至今已經過了二十年，被稱為「賽伯計量學」（sabermetrics）的進階數據，在美國職棒大聯盟（MLB）各球隊已是標準配備，哪支球隊還沒運用數據分析建軍，就會失去競爭優勢，被革命潮流淹沒。然而，儘管進階數據更聰明、更有用，球迷卻依舊感到困惑，因為棒球界的部分人仍然遵循舊傳統，用些過時的數據，例如說打擊率、勝投和守備率，或是無法言說的「靈性」，來評估球員的天賦、能力、貢獻及職業生涯。這群守舊的人士認為，棒球應該由人來管理，而不是由數據來管理。ESPN資深棒球作家洛爾在這本「戰力十足」的書中，直言不諱地挑戰了現有的棒球教條，顛覆了一群棒球「老害」心中的棒球文化。洛爾先是指出傳統數據是如何影響到球團的管理思維、球探的選人模式、球迷的觀賽角度。又是哪些數據欺騙了球隊管理者，引起「思維誤判」，哪些數據讓球探挑人時看走了眼，哪些數據讓MVP、賽揚獎、名人堂的票選成為一場笑話。接下來，洛爾也跟我們介紹wOBA（加權上壘率）、wRC（加權得分創造值）、UZR（終極防區評等）、dRS（防守失分節省值）、FIP（投手獨立防禦率）等諸多更精進有效的數據，讓我們了解今天球團的制服組是如何運用這些數據去擬定決策，包括球員交易、球員養成和場上的戰術施行。這是一本從球團管理層、球員、棒球從業人員、球迷都需要一讀的書，它會教你如何「更聰明地看棒球」，從中體會到不同的樂趣和啟示。此外，對關心產業革新、產業脈動的讀者而言，用大數據來經營球團、打造球隊，不僅對職業運動產生革命性的創新，也會對廣大商界帶來極大的啟示。

最近的研究表明，高中的語言藝術課對人的未來以及道德發展的影響最為深遠。美國Waldorf Publications負責人Patrice Maynard，強烈推薦此書為青春期教育的首選書籍。“還有什麼比一個受文學啟發的理想少年更動人的呢？”本書凝結了作者幾十年來在給華德福高中生教授文學課和戲劇課的教學經驗，詳細分析了9-12年級孩子的發展特點，將文學作品對應到每個階段孩子的發展特點，來引領和啟迪青春

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.

Charles Darwin's words first appeared in print as a student at Christ's College, Cambridge in 1829, and in almost every subsequent year of his life he published essays, articles, letters to editors, or other brief works. These shorter publications contain a wealth of valuable material. They represent an important part of the Darwin visible to the Victorian public, alongside his ever present sense of humour, and reveal an even wider variety of his scientific interests and abilities, which continued to his final days. This book brings together all known shorter publications and printed items Darwin wrote during his lifetime, including his first and his last publications, and the first publication, with A. R. Wallace, of Darwin's theory of evolution by natural selection. With over seventy newly discovered items, the book is fully edited and annotated, and contains original illustrations and a comprehensive bibliography.
