Creative Coding in Python

本書根據《高等職業教育專科專業教學標準(2025年)》中的計算機類專業教學標準，結合Linux技術領域的極端發展編寫而成。全書以Ubuntu20.04.6為例，系統介紹了Linux操作系統的核心知識與關鍵技術：首先介紹Linux操作系統安裝與基礎操作、文件與用戶管理、Shell腳本編程、網絡配置與管理等系統運維技能，進而深入講解了在Linux環境下使用C語言進行程序開發、進程和線程編程以及網絡編程的方法，最後拓展至Python進程和線程編程以及MySQL數據庫操作，形成從系統管理到應用開發的完整知識體系。本書最大特色在於採用“系統管理—底層開發—高級應用”三階段遞進式架構，創新性地將Shell、C、Python三種編程語言在Linux平臺上的應用有機整合。通過12個源自真實工作場景的項目，幫助讀者在掌握系統管理技能的同時，建立起多語言協同開發的工程視野，理解不同技術棧在Linux生態系統中的定位與關聯。本書適合作為高等職業院校計算機類相關專業的教材，也可作為從事Linux操作系統管理和應用開發的初、中級工程技術人員的參考書。

這本教科書的原作者為諾獎得主Thomas J. Sargent，本教材由竇錢斌、孫美露、胡靈翻譯，該書是對經濟網絡的介紹，面向經濟學和應用數學領域的學生和研究人員。教科書強調定量建模，主要的基礎工具是圖論、線性代數、不動點理論和編程。大多數數學工具都涵蓋了第一原理，其中兩個主要技術成果：Neumann 級數引理和 Perron-Frobenius 定理：起著核心作用。本書適合一學期的課程，既可以教授給熟悉線性代數的高年級本科生，也可以教授給剛入門的研究生。例如，雖然我們定義了特徵值，但學生應該已經知道特徵值和特徵向量是什麼，因此“特徵向量中心性”之類的概念或諾依曼級數引理之類的結果很容易被理解。本書也適合數學專業的學生，希望瞭解經濟學和網絡之間聯繫的工程、計算機科學和其他相關領域。 本書包含 Python 和 Julia 代碼的混合體。大多數是在 Python 中運行，因為這些庫在撰寫本文時更加穩定(儘管 Julia 也有強大的圖形操作和優化庫)。數字代碼可從作者處獲得。在每章的末尾我們提供了注釋，其中包含非正式的評論和參考。

Poetic Effects in the Prose of Virginia Woolf and Emilio Cecchi analyses the poetic qualities of the prose of these two modernist writers. Leteo reconstructs their own variable definitions of 'poetry', and highlights the 'poetic effects' of their prose works, that is, the strategies they employ to produce a special emotion in the reader.

A bold new approach to medieval art and architecture's shaping of psychosomatic experience. ​ In the medieval world, experiences of fear attained a mystical significance: monks, urban publics, and even emperors pursued horror and grief to explore the limits of fantasy, sensation, and catharsis. In this book, Ravinder S. Binning examines an expansive archive ranging from poetry and scientific treatises to artistic works in ivory and crystal to recover an aesthetic tradition centered on optical tension, spatial suspense, and tactile experience. Moving between early monastic spaces in Egypt and major urban centers like Constantinople from the fourth through the thirteenth centuries, The Medieval Art of Fear shows how the psychosomatic experience of fear became the deliberate object of mystical practices, meditation, and other embodied techniques across the medieval world. The result is a powerful exploration of the aesthetic effects behind some of the medieval world's most ambiti

Of all the characters in the Hebrew Scriptures, none have captured the imagination like David, King of Israel. The Oxford Handbook of King David traces this fascination, from the biblical books of Samuel and Kings, through the common era, the medieval period, and into today. The authors interrogate David in his many biblical guises, including son, father, outlaw, soldier, lover, and king. Authors also situate him amongst a wider cast of characters, including Bathsheba, Solomon, Abigail, and Abner. David's presence in the wider Hebrew Bible and New Testament is also carefully considered along with David's reception in later Christianity, Judaism, and Islam. Crucially, this Handbook also delves into the depiction of David's story in the visual, literary, and performing arts over the centuries. His legacy and stories are traced from the paintings of Rembrandt and Rubens, to the sculpture of Bernini, to the music of Handel. Other contributions explore David's literary afterlife, revealing

The Oxford Handbook of Brazilian Cinema brings together innovative chapters that address a wide range of topics relating to cinema and cinema culture in Brazil. Including chapters that focus on the reception and production of films and on how global trends in filmmaking have shaped Brazilian cinema's practices, this Handbook moves beyond a geographically specific notion of national cinema, to ask not what is Brazilian cinema but, rather, what is cinema in Brazil? This question is developed in three sections, "histories," "spaces," and "genres and media." Chapters in the section "Histories" explore diverse trajectories of Brazilian film culture and practices, including film criticism, archival endeavours, black filmmaking and films made during the Covid pandemic. The impact of historical contexts is explored in a conversation with women filmmakers, which delves into the devastating effects of far-right president Jair Bolsonaro on production from a female perspective. The section "Spaces

A meditation on queer and trans persistence in global Hong Kong

The Bible tells its story about leaders and leadership in terms of three socio-political axes: by domain (familial and public); by gender (male and female); and by position (socio-political heads such as warriors and kings versus intermediaries such as prophets and diviners). The Bible only rarely idealizes Israel's leaders, such as Moses and David. Instead, it emphasizes the impact of the family on both family leaders and public leaders. This book initially focuses on Genesis, with a look at a major moment in the life of three great family ancestors: Abraham, Rebecca and Jacob. The second part of the book focuses on public leaders, particularly prophets, warriors and kings and the parallels between warrior commissions and stories of prophetic calls that suggest an interconnected literary relationship. Finally, the book highlights four features that inform the stories discussed in this book: authorship, attractiveness, authority, and anonymity. Profiles in Family and Public Leadership

Amidst heightened rhetoric and increasing polarization in the United States, American Pogroms chronicles the causes and consequences of two centuries of mob violence in American history, highlighting exactly what's at stake when we allow leaders to legitimate violence and the mob to rule. For much of American history, members of the majority population of the United States indiscriminately attacked and terrorized minority communities. In some parts of the country, mob violence seemed a near-constant part of the region's history, while in others it was a brief, horrific spasm that perpetrators--but not victims--quickly forgot. In American Pogroms, terrorism expert Daniel Byman argues that there is a word for this type of communal violence: pogrom. Although pogroms are historically associated with the orchestrated campaigns of anti-Jewish violence in Tsarist Russia, Byman asserts that pogroms have been an all-too-frequent feature of American history. Tracing two centuries of communal vio

Practice-based evidence refers to research findings derived from clinical routine. As a complementary paradigm to randomized clinical trials, this evidence is collected through practice-oriented research with the goals of describing how mental health services are utilized and implemented, understanding how these services work or fail to work, and providing ways to improve practice. In contrast to traditional trials, practice-oriented research does not impose researcher-driven restrictions or prescriptions to clinical practice, which, for many practitioners, make research irrelevant to their work. By investigating psychological therapies as they are actually conducted in naturalistic settings, practice-oriented research stands as a strategy to foster a seamless integration between science and practice. In Practice-Based Evidence in the Psychological Therapies, practice-oriented researchers from different parts of the world and across a variety of clinical settings describe what led them

What is luck? What is the significance of luck for our ethical and political lives? Could it be the case that luck is an intoxicating illusion, which threatens to obscure the true explanations of human action, excuse wrongdoing or cowardice, provoke powerful emotions, and cloud judgment? Schillinger's original interpretation of the idea of luck in ancient Greek thought challenges both scholars of ancient Greek texts and theorists of luck in the present. While many contemporaries approach luck as something "out there" in the world that explains why some human beings flourish while others suffer or perish, Schillinger argues that luck is a psychological phenomenon: what we have in mind when we speak of "luck" are the intellectual and emotional reactions of human beings as they run up against the limits of their knowledge and power. Schillinger returns to the Greeks because they fully examined this phenomenon, revealing the roots of the idea of luck in the psyche, its (often confused) rol
