――學習與火同行、適應火、對待火、分配火，即是選擇我們的未來――★野火蔓延～為所有地球人提出火燒危機的思考方向與化解可能★全球火研究首席Pyne經典作 ★獨家親撰致臺灣讀者序★一部火與地球、人類、環境、氣候共同演化的史詩★富含科學、哲學、歷史與文化，融入大量人文社會思考，從文化敘事中提煉對火的認識★麥克唐納基金會之友獎 Friends of MacDonald Foundation Award🔥 2025年夏，野火包圍地中海，歐洲史上野火最嚴重的一季……🔥 2025年3月，南韓史上最嚴重山火，災害規模遍及全國……🔥 2025年初，洛杉磯野火燒毀上萬棟建築，超過18萬人撤離……🔥 2024年6月，北極野火，科學家警告，極地火將成為暖化的驅動因素……野火肆虐。全球火研究泰斗派恩，以他所命名的The Pyrocene――火新世為名，在這部史詩級作品中，帶領地球人踏上以火搭建的舞臺，深思火如何塑造人與自然界的關係，人如何適應於火所建構的新秩序，找到自己的位置。派恩不是想以The Pyrocene創建一個學術名詞，而是希望提示火已經全面進入人類生活，書中許多隱喻表達了他的觀點。這是一部重新定義這個時代的作品。從地球、人類、生態、氣候的自然歷史跨度，看火如何與其共同演進。全書七章，富含科學、哲學、歷史與文化，美麗詩意的敘事，不斷敲擊人心，提出嚴肅且批判性的思考，以及不絕望的警示。我們的文明本質上是一段與火共舞的歷史。火是生態環境的重要組成，數千年來，人類一直利用火塑造地形。派恩將人類用火的歷史分為三個階段：自然之火（第一火），來自大自然自身。馴化之火（第二火），人類用它來烹飪、開墾、建立農業與文明等。工業之火（第三火），是由化石燃料徹底改寫的文明之火。這些火沒有止息，沒有邊界，也無法被撲滅，不僅調整氣候機制，更挑戰自然機制，對地球帶來一系列環境轉變以及生物滅絕的風險。使用火的方式，已超出人類歷史上任何時期。當加拿大野火從北方林洶湧而出，猶如見證一場我們以為已經消失的瘟疫重現。加州野火與其地理環境息息相關，本有歷史韻律，如今卻在四重催化劑下連環圍城，包括氣候異常、土地政策產生易燃誘因、集體錯誤心理以及技術傲慢。火已劃過人類文明自欺的臨界點。「我們不是用火太多，而是用錯了火。」派恩並不主張完全「滅火」，也不鼓吹「回到過去」。火是一種再生的力量，而非末日。當前人類面臨太多的「

(內容簡介)讀寫能力，是二十一世紀知識社會的共通貨幣讀寫能力，是二十一世紀知識社會的共通貨幣。讀寫能力不足，將難以參與並融入這個社會。普及讀寫教育，是社會公平的基石，在升學壓力以及屏幕產品圍攻的大環境下，扭轉讀寫教育所面臨的危機，比以往更為迫切。本書提供美國讀寫教育的現場實作，可以帶給臺灣諸多觀念上的啟發，重新思考讀寫教育的價值。──✦──讀寫教育不必等到入學以後才開始美國小兒科醫學會指出，親子共讀可以從六個月大開始；美國幼教協會（National Associaion of Education for Young Children）指出，寫作練習可以從兩歲開始。讀與寫應該從小成為生活的一部分，寫作練習也不必很困難複雜。例如給寶寶一支蠟筆，讓他們邊聽故事邊塗鴉，培養「把想法形諸紙張」的意識，就是最早的寫作練習。──✦──讀與寫，能讓大腦變聰明！愈早開始愈好美國國民教育為十三年，從Kindergarten開始，通常簡寫為K，相當於臺灣學制中的幼兒園大班。各州學制稍有不同，小學通常是一到五年級、中學是六到八年級、高中是九到十二年級。因此本書的「學前」是指五歲以下，「小學中低年級」是K到二年級，「小學中高年級」是三到五年級，「中學」是六到八年級，「高中」是九到十二年級，「大學」及「成人教育」則與臺灣相同。這六個階段，都各有適齡的讀寫教育方案與目標。本書以年齡段劃分為六章，逐章介紹這六個階段的真實現場：第一章介紹零歲到學前的讀寫教育，說明讀寫教育應該儘早開始。雖然親子共讀日漸普及，但幼兒閱讀力差距仍然存在，本章展示了弭平差距的實際做法。例如，紐約一群兒科醫師，對帶幼兒來看診的高風險家庭，除了指導家長理解嬰幼兒發展指標，也請家長與孩子一起閱讀，增進親密互動。經過評估，參加「閱讀療法」的孩子，比沒有參加的孩子，有更好的學習力與專注力，出現分離焦慮、過動、暴力的比例也最低。研究顯示，閱讀是零歲開始讓大腦變聰明的最佳預防醫學。第二章進一步綜合相關研究，探討讀寫教育如何改變成長中的大腦結構。專家與學校為K到二年級這階段的學生設計讀寫系列課程，發現經過三個月練習，孩子們不但讀寫力進步，斷層掃描更顯示「大腦結構有明顯改變」、「與記憶理解有關的皮質增厚」，證實讀寫教育能改變大腦結構，讓孩子「變聰明」，學習力因而提升。並介紹美國小學中低年級的教學現場，如何為學生的讀寫力打下好基礎。第三章說明

十二歲的王尤金，因為媽媽超迷信「四」等於「死」，所以她從來沒在四月四號正日過生日。而且她媽媽不只超迷信，還喜歡管東管西！對媽媽來說，畫畫根本是浪費時間，所以不准王尤金去參加她夢寐以求的夏日漫畫營。今年，尤金尼亞決定要來個大反攻！她不只要報名漫畫營、要在生日當天辦派對，還要順便邀請她心中那位可愛到不行的天菜！不過...王尤金在體育課上被一顆飛來的運動鞋K到頭之後，怪事就接連發生。她開始看到各種不祥的幻覺，全都跟她快到的生日有關。這到底是腦震盪的後遺症，還是她對十三歲的「青春期焦慮」在作祟？隨著幻覺越來越失控，連她的畫都受到影響，王尤金懷疑，是不是有什麼神秘力量在警告她。如果她真的被什麼東西纏上了，那她最好趕快搞清楚是怎麼回事！不過，還有比這更恐怖的事，那就是...她可能必須承認…她媽媽所說的一切或許才是對的。In this hilarious and heartfelt debut graphic novel, a girl born on a day considered unlucky in Chinese superstition starts to wonder if she really is cursed when she's troubled by visions of doom set to occur on her thirteenth birthday.

在數位轉型與永續發展浪潮交織的今日，本期《產業與管理論壇》收錄兩篇科技新知與管理專欄、兩篇研究論文及兩篇教學個案，內容涵蓋ESG管理、價值創新與科技應用等，探討企業與產業在當前複雜環境中的回應與轉型。以下為本期各篇內容摘要： 第一篇〈從數字美化到管理實踐〉新知中，作者探討ESG報告書過度指標化的現象，主張ESG不應淪為數字堆砌，而應回歸實務管理與策略邏輯，因此提出將 ESG 策略嵌入核心價值鏈與治理流程的整合分析架構，提供企業用於檢視自身及競爭者的ESG實踐及規劃。此篇新知文章可提供台灣實務界推動ESG的策略思考新方向。 第二篇〈離岸風電產業中政府－企業－市場的滾動式調整機制探析〉新知中，作者指出離岸風電產業在總體經濟不確定下，政策與市場正在動態調整彼此的互動模式。文章以歐洲經驗為例，說明不同開發商的行為反應如何影響制度設計與投資策略，可提供台灣離岸風電產業政策發展的新視角。 第三篇〈The Role of Internet Marketing in Enhancing International Tourist Hotel Performance〉論文中，作者以資源基礎觀點分析國際觀光飯店如何透過資訊科技與網路行銷能力提升關係績效與市場占有率。研究結果發現，資訊科技能力與國際市場導向對國際績效的影響受到網路行銷能力的中介效果，且這兩者之間的互動對 IM 能力有正面影響。 第四篇〈重塑顧客價值主張〉中，作者結合藍海策略價值曲線與商業模式兩種觀點，以IC設計公司作為個案，探討企業如何提升顧客價值。價值曲線與商業模式雖然被廣泛用來探討顧客價值，但過去兩者缺乏深度的整合。研究結果發現，顧客價值主張會動態演化，並且帶動商業模式的創新轉型。此文章對於兩種理論觀點的整合具有重要意涵。 第五篇〈普祺樂的數位化挑戰〉個案中，作者聚焦零售中介商「普祺樂」因快速擴張面對的資訊不對稱挑戰，以交易成本與核心能力理論，探討企業應如何運用價值鏈分析，辨識企業的競爭優勢與核心價值創造活動，藉此帶領讀者探討普祺樂在APP自行開發和外包的策略選擇上，應該如何思考？ 第六篇〈富采推動ESG轉型〉個案以富采集團為案例，分析企業在ESG轉型策略上採取外包或內製的抉擇。除了顯性財務成本外，此個案從利害關係人視角帶領讀者探討跨部門協調、資訊安全與風險等隱性非財務因素對企業ESG轉型的影響。此個案對於瞭解ESG

顔艾琳《骨皮肉》全新中英國際雙語版「愛情非霜淇淋。你說，也不全然固定或者流動那麼，在這間小小的房裡，空氣中填塞的是什麼？狡黠的你賊賊答我:欲望是甜的，而房間是方糖。因此，我們互相調劑彼此的體味」《骨皮肉》（Bone Skin Flesh）是臺灣詩人顏艾琳的代表作，於1997年首次出版時，便以其對女性特質的坦率探索和一系列情慾詩，在文壇掀起廣泛討論。顏艾琳被譽為臺灣第一位出版一系列情慾詩的女性詩人，她的作品深入挖掘性別與慾望的議題，對讀者、公共論述及當代文學研究產生了深遠影響。這本詩集共分為六個章節，包括：「黑暗溫泉」、「單性情人日」、「超級販賣機」、「空體賦」、「隱隱燃」和「寄給憂鬱的一封信」。詩作充滿有形的質感，不僅描繪了身體與世界的互動，更細膩呈現了慾望、情感、清醒與夢境的紋理。她的詩歌創造了新的世界，或者說，以嶄新的方式讓我們感受這個世界；它們不是輕輕流淌而過，而是「在你之中、在你之上、自你而生」。譯者簡莉芳（Jenn Marie Nunes）將顏艾琳的詩作視為一種「深刻而黏稠的樂趣」，並指出其作品具備「Gurlesque」詩學的特質。這種詩學以滑稽或公然嘲弄的方式展現女性特質，即使冒著怪誕的風險，也要動搖被接受的女性行為和語言基礎。然而，她的詩又超越了典型的「Gurlesque」風格，融入了一種不常傾向的溫柔、龐克式的真誠，以及對女性的崇敬，無論是母親、情人或老婦，甚至她們共享的孤獨與憂鬱。／／／Bone Skin Flesh is the landmark work of Taiwanese poet Yen Ai-Lin. First published in 1997, it drew wide attention for its candid exploration of femininity and its groundbreaking series of erotic poems, making Yen the first female poet in Taiwan to publish such a body of work. Her poetry delves into gender and desire, leaving a lasting impact on readers and contemporary literary discou
