隨著無人機（UAV）軟硬體技術的逐步成熟，這項技術正從早期的消費級產品迅速擴展，加速整合進入全球空域，成為推動「低空經濟」的核心引擎。無人機不再只是延伸影像視角的工具，而是演變為具備高度聯網能力、依賴數位資訊整合的空中作業平台，並深度嵌入公共安全、物流配送與關鍵基礎設施巡檢等高產值場景。然而，技術的普及也引爆了前所未有的安全危機。無人機的「低、慢、小」特性，已經演變為不對稱作戰的核心，其威脅性也從軍事戰區跨越至民用領域，傳統防空體系在面對惡意攻擊、意外事故與間諜駭客時，已顯露出捉襟見肘。面對此安全缺口，國際間正積極發展結合多感測融合偵測、AI 決策與軟硬殺分層防禦的反制技術，試圖建立「可視、可控、可信」的空域防禦網。在全球地緣政治格局因美中戰略競爭而重塑的背景下，商用無人機已經從單純的技術載具，升級轉型為各國競逐「經濟安保」的戰略核心。美國為應對中國大陸無人機品牌（如大疆創新）在供應鏈上的主導地位及其引發的國安焦慮，透過「禁令限縮、扶持本土、創造需求」三大政策，意圖取回空域主導權。與此同時，日本與韓國則採取「政府主導、軍民通用」的強勢產業政策，透過國家級路線圖引領，加速構建自主供應鏈，並搶佔全球市場份額。對於我國業者而言，歐洲已經成為無人機整機出口最大的藍海市場。儘管歐洲內部市場具備碎片化特性，但透過歐盟整合性的「無人機戰略 2.0」頂層戰略，加上捷克、波蘭與德國各具特色的實施路徑，我國供應鏈得以利用 ICT 優勢切入當地國防與商業體系。為了確保無人機在現有航空框架內的安全運行，制定統一的國際標準已經成為產業發展的碁石。國際監管趨勢也從飛航安全延伸至資安與供應鏈透明度。歐盟的《網路韌性法案（CRA）》要求製造商對設計階段的安全負擔最終責任，美國 Remote ID 制度則強化了身份可識別性。資安治理正由「上市前單次檢測」轉向「全生命週期監理」，這已經成為進入高信任市場的關鍵門檻。展望未來，全球無人機市場預計將在 2030 年達到 726 億美元的規模。這不僅是一場硬體性能的競爭，更是一場關於數據治理、通訊韌性與法規合規性的綜合實力競賽。本書將深入剖析這場由技術、政策與安全相互交織的全球治理革命，協助讀者掌握這波可能改寫全球空域規則的巨大浪潮。

「這本書對當前與未來的健康危機，做了充滿智慧且資訊完整的評估。」白宮學者、CNN首席醫療記者、OpenBook年度生活書《大腦韌性》作者桑賈伊．古普塔（Sanjay Gupta）震聾發聵之作！《賈伯斯傳》作者華特．艾薩克森、《全境擴散》編劇史考特．伯恩斯，以及奧斯卡金像獎最佳導演法蘭西斯．柯波拉等各界人士口碑力挺！＊＊＊研究顯示，下一場全球性健康危機，或許比我們以為的更近。它可能是舊病毒、新型傳染病、醫療體系超載、假資訊失控，甚至是社會運作連鎖崩潰。那麼，我們準備好怎麼因應了嗎？＊採訪資歷豐富的CNN首席醫療記者古普塔，長年奔赴全球重大災難現場，包括海地地震、日本海嘯，伊拉克、科威特和阿富汗戰事等，重要醫療事件更是無役不與，比如SARS與伊波拉病毒疫情、中東呼吸症候群疫情、炭疽病毒攻擊事件等，他總是站上第一線，親自撰文或邀請專家為美國民眾解惑。由於報導專業、持平且深入淺出，深受美國民眾信賴，他的文章與節目成了美國民眾了解醫療事實的首選。在本書中，古普塔將數年前的新冠疫情視為當代社會的巨大壓力測試：當危機降臨，哪些國家迅速失控？哪些制度率先崩潰？哪些錯誤決策造成無法挽回的代價？我們又該如何建立更有韌性的未來？為了回答這些問題，他進行數千場深度訪談，對象包括政府決策核心、世界級公共衛生專家、流行病學學者、第一線醫護人員、患者與家屬，以及與時間賽跑開發疫苗與治療方案的科學家與企業高層，從中梳理出一場全球危機如何一步步演變為全面失序。本書前半，深入檢視了疫情期間美國的各種重大失誤：政治角力如何拖慢決策、社會如何低估無症狀感染、錯誤訊息如何削弱公共信任、疫苗猶豫與陰謀論又為何迅速蔓延。作者不只回顧問題，更進一步指出：真正脆弱的，往往不是病毒本身，而是人類社會缺乏準備的系統。而後半部，他則把視角拉回每個人的日常生活，探討在高風險時代中，我們該如何重新思考「安全」與「健康」：如何與病原共存？如何建立家庭與財務韌性？為何應提早規畫醫療選擇？面對長期焦慮與不確定感，人們又該如何維持心理韌性？從高齡照護、旅行風險，到長新冠與慢性健康問題等等……可以說，這不只是一本探討新冠疫情的書，還提出了一整套面對未來危機的生存思維——是寫給個人、社會乃至國家的必修公衛素養課。（各章內容簡介請見目錄引文）。（本書為《大疫時代必修的生命教育》的二版，本版內容無增修，請避免重複購買。）

這麼說吧！這本書只教你一件事，就是如何管理好團隊，又不至於讓你變成一個討人厭的渾球！從新手主管上任第一天，你就可能遇到大麻煩，若不是第一天就是第二天。從當主管這一天開始，你才真正開始學做主管。新手小主管呀、資深大主管們，來看看下面這些問題，你知道多少？◆ 為什麼千萬不要採用MBTI測驗？◆ 為什麼不該小看組織圖的功用？◆ 為什麼補人要用高於團隊平均能力的人？◆ 要你牢牢記住的五人原則是什麼？◆ 每個月都讓績效持續成長的秘訣是什麼？◆ 想知道略高於平均水準的神奇力量怎麼來的嗎？◆ 什麼是第四級行為？怎麼管理背上的猴子？◆ 想要加薪該怎麼談判？怎麼解雇人才不混蛋？◆ 足球隊不會招募球迷當球員，那你會找粉絲來上班嗎？◆ 該避免的傳聞逸事管理、蘑菇管理法則是什麼？◆ 來自艾森豪將軍的戰爭智慧──艾森豪矩陣怎麼用？從作者職涯中這些差勁主管的沉痛往事中學習教訓，絕對很有娛樂效果，不過，身為主管，你真正需要的建議是，關於如何「不要當個全天下最渾球的主管」的基本常識。好消息是，想做到這一點其實也不太困難，任何願意付出一些心力的人都能當個好的主管。這本書的目的，是希望它能滿足你作為一位新手主管的需求。也許你以前從未管理過任何人，這是你的首度升遷；或者你成為主管已有一段時間，但從未獲得任何正式的相關培訓，直到現在才意識到該是時候接受訓練；又或者，你的位階已經晉升到一定程度，現在必須面對職涯裡最艱困的領導挑戰。本書的建議，適用在上述的任何一種情況。內容從一些簡單的事情起頭，也是那些你必須即刻了解的基本知識，例如迎接新工作第一天的最佳方法。隨著你累積的經驗愈來愈多，本書也會逐步幫你解決你可能會遇到的一些更複雜、更深入的問題，例如，提高團隊績效需要一些時間，書中就有一系列章節介紹如何做到這一點。最後的幾個章節則是牽涉到更全面、更沉重、更概念化的議題，例如運用數據資料來解決可能影響整間公司的策略問題。作者根據他30年豐富的職場歷練及管理經驗，以幽默、流利而謙遜的語調撰寫本書，帶我們經歷作為管理者可能經驗的情緒、陷阱、教訓和成功。從表達感謝到承認錯誤，再到揭示每項成就。對於管理新手來說，本書是一個完美的即戰力指南；對於經驗豐富的管理者來說，本書中的大小案例，都可以引用來快速改善自己的管理作為，增進領導組織的能力。

The Oxford Handbook of Ballet Pedagogy offers a comprehensive exploration of contemporary perspectives on teaching and learning ballet, emphasizing the embodied nature of dance and its role in shaping both the student sense of expression and development as an artist. The book positions ballet pedagogy as a dynamic and cross-disciplinary field that transcends traditional separation between practice and theory. It offers a holistic approach that integrates the whole body, identity, and well-being into the learning process. Through five thematic sections-focusing on the whole-dancer, embodied pedagogy, diverse teaching sites, syllabus construction, and ballet as praxis. The volume engages with critical issues such as belonging, access, rigor, syllabus, and excellence within pedagogical practices in the ballet learning space that move beyond the limitations of constructs such as race, gender, and disability. The book challenges entrenched pedagogical hierarchies, offering a vision for the

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

This volume examines attempts by poets from Swinburne and Aleister Crowley to Ezra Pound and H.D. to compose English poetry in the quantitative metres of Ancient Greek and Latin. Treating these works as a connected field of experiment, the book situates classical metre within developments of late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century poetry.

Uncertainty is a defining feature of organizational and human experience. The COVID-19 pandemic generated uncertainty on a global scale, while a decade earlier the global financial crisis increased uncertainty for people and markets across the world. In The Oxford Handbook of Uncertainty Management in Work Organizations, leading researchers in their respective research domains, ranging from creativity to strategy management, provide a comprehensive overview of the role of uncertainty in work organizations and examine how organizations, teams, and individuals approach and manage uncertainty. To date, uncertainty has primarily been studied as a powerful external force, driving organizational actors to adapt. The handbook extends this view by highlighting a more generative role of uncertainty, where organizational actors may even deliberately create uncertainty to spur learning and innovation. The chapters present new insights on the role of uncertainty in organizations and discusses topi
