In this first anthropological study of Muslim and Hindu lives in urban Myanmar today, Judith Beyer develops the concept of "we-formation" to demonstrate that individuals are always more than members of wider groups. "We-formation" complements her rich political, legal, and historical analysis of "community," a term used by Beyer's interlocutors themselves, even as it reinforces ethno-religious stereotypes and their own minority status. The book also offers an interpretation of the dynamics of resistance to the attempted military coup of 2021.

Many developing countries still face difficulties initiating and sustaining economic development. Such difficulties have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, resulting in an increasing divergence between rich and poor countries. One crucial question is whether to follow the trajectories of present-day rich countries or seek out different, new trajectories.Although this is a fundamental question, scholars offering mainstream prescriptions have not sufficiently explored it. Drawing on extensive empirical studies of firms and industries, Innovation and Development Detours for Latecomers proposes an effective alternative to prevailing development thinking. It presents a rich menu of development pathways, including a new role for Schumpeterian states whereby they do not follow the paths of technological development already taken by advanced countries.Rather, they can skip certain stages and even create their own detours thereby leapfrogging advanced countries in both manufacturing and

自戀是人性，還是自大貪婪的本性？ 許多問題行為背後，原來都是自戀惹的禍！ ▽如果我覺得你表現不好，我就會講出來，這樣你才知道要怎樣改進。我隨時精進自己，其他人也應該上進。——自我保存第一型自戀 ▽我向來因為外表受人關注，大家總是小看了我的腦袋。我不是頭腦簡單的人。不過外貌讓我在生活中無往不利，我覺得這樣很好。——性本能第三型自戀 ▽我從小就覺得自己是富貴命。我在設計公司實習，但我做的事情全都是幫人倒咖啡和接電話。這不合我的格調。我這麼有才能，不應該從底層做起。——社交第四型自戀 ▽如果你對我的做風有意見，麻煩就大了。我想怎樣就怎樣，我不配合其他人了不起的感受。——自我保存第八型自戀 ▽我認為同理心會造成辦事不力。如果是為了工作或解決問題，我可以聽一個人講幾分鐘，但想要更多的話最好去找別人。——社交第八型自戀 每個人時時刻刻都以自我為中心，執取我們認為屬於自己的一切！只要人有自我，就會有一定程度的自戀，問題在於你內在的那個自戀狂有多常探出頭來？尤其在個人主義盛行的社會，自戀很容易過了頭，出現病態與人格障礙傾向，導致慣性投機和剝削。 自戀在人格的表現上有各種細微差異。由於大眾心理學和影視傳播的渲染，我們對自戀的行為經常帶著嘲笑與貶意，但這些刻板印象無法讓我們真正分辨與理解那些具有潛在危險性的自戀者在生活中會對我們產生什麼影響。 本書以「九型人格學」為基礎，結合人類自我保存、社交、性三大驅力，透過性格、情緒、同理心來辨識自戀特質，剖析二十七種自戀亞型，檢視自戀行為如何被觸發及其動機、恐懼、特質，並輔以各類型自戀者的獨白、角色範例，教導讀者察覺自己的自戀傾向、正視自我的缺失，同時學會辨識他人的自戀特質，懂得見招拆招、不被情緒勒索、避免無謂的情緒勞動，讓你可以活得更包容也更自由。 專業好評 ☆史特林•莫斯利博士深入探討二十七種自戀亞型的博學之作：針對如何應對自戀造成的扭曲心理，本書根據九型人格學，提供詳盡的學習和研究取徑。莫斯利博士同時探究同理心的發展與自我中心的同理心。本書內容有助我評估個案生命的心靈之旅。她提供我們和不同人格類型、自戀程度、本能中心的人相處的絕佳建議，我強烈推薦這本書。——Deborah Ooten, PhD, Founder and CEO of Conscious Dynamics, LLC ☆別具洞察力且才學豐

圖解讓教學科技更簡單三大特色●一讀就懂的教學科技入門知識●文字敘述淺顯易懂、提綱挈領●圖表形式快速理解、加強記憶近幾十年，伴隨電腦與網際網路的蓬勃開展，教學科技的發展與應用呈現與過往截然不同的面貌。因行動載具（Mobile Device）的推陳出新與無線通訊科技的發展應用，讓學習可以隨時隨地的進行，創造行動與無所不在學習（Mobile and Ubiquitous Learning）的可能；因串流技術（Streaming）與巨量資料（Big Data）處理技術的愈加純熟，數位學習平臺（E-Learning Platform）乃應運而生，促成翻轉教室（Flipped Classroom）教育理念的應用與實踐；因新數位製造技術的發展，使虛擬實境（Virtual Reality, VR）與擴增實境（Augmented Reality, AR）技術日益成熟，將其運用在教育場域中，讓學習打破了時間與空間的限制；因個人電腦與通訊網路的結合，讓遠距學習（Distance Learning）成為數位學習（E-Learning）重要的一環，近年更因新冠疫情而成為實體教學重要的取替方式。本書將針對「行動學習」、「翻轉教室」、「虛擬與擴增實境」、「遠距教學」四項子題進行深究，就其基本意涵、可利用資源、教學應用等要項加以闡釋與例舉，期能提供21世紀的教育者與學習者，強化教學科技與媒體的理念與運用知能。
