本書以「設計為善」為核心，探討視覺傳達設計如何回應當代社會議題，傳遞公共善意與倫理思考。透過議題導向與符號轉譯的創作策略，將新聞事件轉化為具行動力的視覺語言，完成30件系列作品，涵蓋人權、環境與教育等主題。書中建構一套可實踐、可教學的設計方法，展現設計作為社會介入的可能性。This book centers on the concept of “Design for Good,” examining how visual communication design can respond to contemporary social issues while conveying public goodwill and ethical reflection.

The book establishes a design methodology that is both practicable and teachable, demonstrating the potential of design as a form of social intervention.

眾所周知，海運經營與海上航行的環境特質就是跨國性，尤其船上成員組合模式更是典型的多元文化職場。處此高度國際化的環境背景下，有效的溝通與聯絡絕對是確保海上實務運作順暢與船舶安全航行的最基本要件，因此國際海事組織(IMO)遂確立英文為全球海上作業的工作語言(Working Language)，期以達致全球海上職場使用統一共通語言的理想目標。 由於海上實務運作包羅廣泛，因而單憑一冊書本實難以含括所有範疇，因此本書僅針對航海駕駛員實務作業所需編撰，期以強化新進駕駛員的職場基本語言能力。又語文學習本需不斷反覆朗讀、默記與背誦，單憑本書有限內容實無法滿足當前進展快速的海上職場，所謂學海無涯，本書充其量只能算是引子，建議有意投身海上職場的年輕同行，除應熟讀核心原文教科書外，更需持續閱讀海事相關期刊與雜誌，始能吸取新知，進而跟上時勢潮流與充實職場技能。 另一方面，近年來國內海上休憩遊艇活動日趨盛行，而遊艇活動的參與者又多屬業餘性質，且在航程中常須面對國際海事相關法規的規範與跨國界的互動情境，因此簡單基本的航海專業英語能力已是遊艇活動者趨吉避凶的必備條件之一，因為唯有透過溝通與互動才能化解一定程度的困擾。建議有意從事海上休憩活動的業餘人士，若欲強化自身對海上活動環境的整體認識與相關基本技能，可結合筆者先前所著《港埠概論》與《航行避碰與港區操船》二書一併閱讀，當有一定程度的助益。 本書編纂內容除基本航海詞彙外，尚納入船與船、船與岸的常用聯絡詞句、基礎操船理念等專章，期以化解因溝通不良所衍生的潛在航行風險。再者，船舶運作本具海上冒險的本質，故而非預期事故與事件實無法全然避免，偏偏海上發生的各種事故與事件每每涉及船東與船員的重大權益，因此海事報告與陳述書的撰寫亦是航海駕駛員務必費心學習的領域，本書特舉列數篇範例供讀者參酌，希能獲致旁通之效。

【本書簡介】 威尼斯商人安東尼奧有個名為巴薩尼奧的摯友。一天，巴薩尼奧因欲向波蒂亞求愛而向安東尼奧借錢。安東尼奧無法借出只好以高利向放貸者夏洛克借款，若無法還錢則要付出身上一磅肉的代價。 巴薩尼奧成功迎娶美嬌娘，然安東尼奧的船卻全數沉沒而無法還錢。機智的波蒂亞聽聞此事便女扮男裝喬扮律師為其辯護。她提醒夏洛克，因合約沒有允許見血，除非能滴血不流，否則不得割走安東尼奧一磅的肉，而最終以智慧拯救了他。《威尼斯商人》是莎士比亞的喜劇中最受歡迎、最成功的作品。 【套書簡介】 本套書是專為初學者或小學到高中學生所精心設計的世界文學名著改寫讀本，共分為五級，故事由入門的初級350字，到中級及進階級的1000字寫成，讀者可藉由閱讀簡單精煉的故事文字，增進閱讀與聽力理解能力，培養文學涵養，擴展閱讀視野，品嚐英文的純正趣味。 Let’s Enjoy Masterpieces所選名著因皆為讀者非常熟稔的故事，所以極易讀懂故事內容。學習者在享受閱讀之時，英文能力也能飛速增進，更能沉浸在閱讀英文名著的興味中。 每本書的編排，除了文學改寫故事，也精心編寫了單元前圖解重要單字和例句、隨頁單字註釋、音標、文法說明、故事背景解說，並設計有各種活潑的練習題，加強培養聽力與閱讀能力。每冊書均錄製有MP3，由專業英語老師朗誦故事全文，幫助從內文與習題中練習聽力和口語能力。 ★精選名著，作品類型廣泛：精選各領域的名作，包括童話、宗教、文學、歌劇等不同類型的作品，讓讀者在英語閱讀學習之外，也能有更寬廣的文學涉獵。 ★Before You Read：1–2級讀本以繪製精美的跨頁情境繪圖，結合圖帶出故事中的重要單字和英文表述法。3–5級讀本則介紹故事重要人物。 ★Understanding the Story：3–5級讀本補充故事背景解說，幫助更加融入故事精神。 ★One Point Lesson：不時適時穿插提點重要文法要點。 ★程度分級：依學習者的英語能力，全套書由入門的初級到中高級共分五個等級，分別由350、450、600、800和1000字寫成，可循序漸進從易到難分階段學習。 ★閱讀理解習題演練：每章依據故事內容和相關文法，設計各類練習題，幫助學生學習重要字彙並了解故事文本的意義，可加深閱讀印象，並幫助複習和自我評量。 ★聽力引導練習：聆聽專業英語老師錄製的音檔，並詳細說明英語單字在不同上下文中連音發音的

[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

This handbook brings together in a single volume detailed accounts of all facets of the Italian language from a wide range of perspectives. It will be a valuable resource not only for Italianists and Romance linguists, but for general linguists interested in the insights that Italian has to offer.

Language is integral to human doing, being, becoming and belonging, and its acquisition is naturally distributed in and across activity spaces over time. Different learning experiences form 'a dialectical unity', where one brings the others into existence, and the capacities fostered in one inform and transform those in the others. Thus, connected learning across time and space is fundamental to the coherence, relevance, and meaningfulness of language learning, yet is not given sufficient attention in second language education. Connected learning is particularly relevant in the GenAI era where learner-driven lifelong and lifewide learning is much emphasized. This Element hence conceptualizes the framework of connected language learning with technology, and discusses how the framework could be operationalized and implemented in teaching and learning. It further foregrounds four concepts in this learning framework - agential literacy, interest development, self-regulation support, and id

Organizing Relation investigates how attachment theory can shift major conversations in literary criticism about connection, personhood, and aesthetic experience. Drawing on the author's experience along with extensive scholarly research into attachment theory, somatic and relational healing, and childhood development, the book delineates the emergence of subjectivity from micro-episodes of attuned connection and the arising of attachment trauma in the absence of adequate experiences of attunement. The emergent understanding of intermittent passages in which embodied presence self-organizes in response to relational episodes prompts a reorganization of how literary studies approaches subjectivity, language, and the body. Organizing Relation pursues that reorganization through a portfolio of readings in nineteenth-century American literature, in which relational turbulence provokes different experiences of power and dependency, opening up passages of dissociated chaos and of brilliant,

This book presents Encounter Theory; an approach grounded in engagement with difference and the principle of nonviolent conflict transformation. It offers scholars, peacebuilders, and students a comprehensive way to understand and practice violence transformation by drawing on diverse frames, concepts, and pedagogies from multiple disciplines. Schmitz, Standish, and Sloan, who work across personal, interpersonal, community, and international contexts, aim to create a platform for addressing violence in society, culture, and the self in the twenty-first century. At its core, Encounter Theory calls for meeting others and their deeply held beliefs within a space that is non-dominatory and non-discriminatory, fostering recognition and appreciation. Through such encounters, individuals move toward relationality, building bonds of understanding and re-humanization. The book argues that creating a nonviolent world requires tools that allow us to continually and relentlessly engage with differ
