Syaman Rapongan is a chronicler of his people, the Tao, an Indigenous community who live on Orchid Island near the island of Taiwan. In Eyes of the Sky, he invites readers to learn the ways of this oceanic world--and to learn to see their own worlds anew through a Tao lens. Employing oral storytelling conventions, Eyes of the Sky opens by recounting the history of the Tao, from their mythic origins to the present day. Its first chapter is narrated by a giant trevally, a fish common to the waters around Orchid Island. It then tells the stories of three generations of a single family--father, son, and grandson--exploring the transformation of Tao society through their encounters with Han-Taiwanese modernity. Syaman Rapongan paints a vivid picture of his homeland--its mountains and seas, flora and fauna, climate and ecology--as well as local culture and customs. In describing fishing practices, canoe building, and conversations with friends from his village, he illustrates the Tao's ecolo

A National Bestseller - Recommended by Financial Times as "What to Read in 2025" "The central argument of Our Dollar, Your Problem--that the greenback's pre-eminence was never guaranteed and might plausibly be overturned--could hardly be more timely."--The Economist A leading economist explores the global rise of the U.S. dollar and shows why its future stability is far from assured Our Dollar, Your Problem argues that America's currency might not have reached today's lofty pinnacle without a certain amount of good luck. Drawing in part on his own experiences, including with policymakers and world leaders, Kenneth Rogoff animates the remarkable postwar run of the dollar--how it beat out the Japanese yen, the Soviet ruble, and the euro--and the challenges it faces today from crypto and the Chinese yuan, the end of reliably low inflation and interest rates, political instability, and the fracturing of the dollar bloc. Americans cannot take for granted that the Pax Dollar era will last in

[名家名著] 37 Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs中文版：掌握軟體開發中的錯誤、取捨與關鍵決策 Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs: How to make good programming decisions ❝Teddy長期研究Pattern Language，有一個很深的體會：每一個設計決策，都只是「局部的回應」。真正困難的，是把這些局部組織成一個和諧的整體。 AI可以提供大量「局部解法」，但整合這些解法需要的，是對「這個團隊、這個市場、這個時間點」的情境理解。這種情境沒辦法完全寫成規格書，因為它牽涉到人的能力邊界、組織的演進節奏、技術債的承受極限。這些東西每個專案都不一樣，而且會隨時間改變。這不是AI的context window再怎麼變大就能解決的問題。 要看見整體，不能只盯著零件。AI幫你把門檻拉低之後，真正稀缺的能力，是在眾多可能性之中，做出有脈絡、能長期承擔的選擇。不是盲目的節制，而是清楚知道代價之後，有意識地決定扛下哪些、放掉哪些。 如果鄉民們希望自己在AI時代，不只是會下提示詞的PM，而是能為系統負責的架構師，那麼這本書值得細細品味。❞ ────「搞笑談軟工」板主Teddy Chen　專文推薦 ❝在軟體工程的實務現場，幾乎沒有哪一個決策是「免費」的。每一次選擇某種架構、某種設計模式、某種API風格，或某種錯誤處理策略，實際上都意味著放棄其他可能性。這些放棄，往往不會在當下立即顯現代價，而是潛伏在未來的維護成本、效能瓶頸、擴充困難、組織協作摩擦與技術債之中。 《Software Mistakes and Tradeoffs中文版》所關注的，正是這些在實際上線系統（production systems）中反覆出現的取捨問題。本書並不試圖建立一套抽象理論，而是從具體情境出發：在特定背景、限制與壓力之下，團隊如何做出選擇？有哪些替代方案？當時忽略了什麼？哪些後果在事後才浮現？哪些判斷其實是合理的，只是代價延後到未來？ 這樣的視角，使本書成為一本極具實務厚度的工程決策紀錄。❞ ────博碩文化資深編輯與翻譯　盧國鳳 ❝真希望我能在職涯更早期就讀到這本書。書中濃縮了許多從實務中得來的寶貴經驗。❞ ────Dave Corun，Avanade ❝清楚而精準地總結了多年軟體工程實務的精華，新手與老手都值

The Sublime Object of Orientalism proposes that globalised Asian physical cultural practices such as taiji, qigong, yoga, and meditation can be understood by examining the intimate connection between Western orientalism and the Romantic aesthetic notion of the sublime. The book recasts ‘orientalist physical culture’ as practices animated by the sublime and argues that this relationship is stronger than has hitherto been recognised by commentators.Bowman combines new readings of philosophers and cultural critics such as Slavoj Žižek and Jane Iwamura with analyses of film, media, and Asian physical practices and their entrepreneurial forms to shed light on the quest to articulate a philosophy of orientalist physical culture. He also explores ways to make sense of orientalist physical culture in the contemporary world and evaluate the often-problematic ideologies that circulate around these cultural practices without either uncritically accepting their value or rejecting them outright.

An accessible and pedagogical introduction to photovoltaics, Harvesting Sunshine presents the solar cell as a multifaceted device that can be viewed as an electronic energy converter, an absorber and emitter of light, and a thermodynamic heat engine, while also outlining its links with the most ancient of solar energy converters: photosynthesis. Beginning with a simple introduction to photovoltaics, suitable as a stand-alone basic primer, the text goes on to explain the solar cell operation in more detail, outlining the electrical characteristics linked to the balance and reciprocity between electrical currents across a semiconductor junction.
