10年可以改變什麼？或是，沒有改變什麼？2015年12月12日，聯合國195個成員國（包括觀察員）在聯合國氣候峰會中通過延續京都議定書的《巴黎協定》（ParisAgreement），明確設定：「以工業時代前為基準值，在21世紀末時，全球升溫小於2℃，並以1.5℃作為目標。」今年是《巴黎協定》生效第10年，年初便傳來讓人挫折的消息。歐盟的哥白尼氣候變遷服務公布最新數據，2025年1月延續了2023、2024年的升溫趨勢，成為有紀錄以來的最熱的1月，比工業革命前的均溫還要高出1.75℃。更讓科學家們困惑的是，原本預期反聖嬰現象將帶來大片涼爽洋流，氣溫卻不降反升。推測原因，由於化石燃料產生的溫室氣體創新高，使得整體溫度易升難降，加上森林持續被砍伐等因素，加劇氣候變化。面對看似無解的全球氣候危機，國家公園能做什麼？開創國家公園濫觴的美國，於2023年發布了最新版本的《氣候變遷因應策略》（Climate Change Response Strategy），提出四大基石：了解科學、適應不斷變化的條件、減輕原因和溝通問題，作為國家公園內進行永續規劃的依據，而這份策略也展現國家公園除了解決園區內的挑戰，也有機會透過研究和實踐，成為緩解氣候問題的解方之一。今年度的國家公園季刊便以「未來解方」為主題，於四期分別提出臺灣國家公園在減碳護林、永續廊道的跨界合作、以保育行動實踐SDGs、鏈結ESG／USR夥伴關係等4個面向的願景及重要成果，展現國家公園迎向愈加艱難的氣候變遷問題時，作為領頭羊，帶動產、官、學、民一起找到問題解方的決心與行動力。

內容簡介:👍 中華企業資源規劃學會「商用數據應用師」認證教材指定用書過去在商用大數據分析上，多著重在演算法的介紹，內容過於側重數理理解，這讓許多商管學生為之卻步。更有甚者，是太著重在程式撰寫上，這也讓沒有程式基礎的學生難以親近應用。本書要打破這些商管學生的困擾，以顧客的R（銷售時間）、F（銷售頻率）、M（銷售金額）商業資料為主，以循序漸進方式，介紹各類資料探勘的聰明方法（即演算法），再透過免費的Google Colab平台，以Python語言為基礎，用簡易的指令撰寫，協助商管背景人士一步步進行操作，期望商管人士可以在這樣開放、免費的環境下，透過案例說明與實作，輕鬆跨過這道牆，建立起對商用大數據分析的正確基礎觀念與操作。* 最新第二版特別針對生成式人工智慧（Generative AI）等新興技術進行介紹，讓讀者可以在大數據的框架下，掌握未來技術的發展趨勢。* 以豐富的插圖與淺顯易懂的解說，輕鬆讀懂大數據演算法的內容。* 提供商管案例做為資料探勘參考。* 所有實作資料來自於轉換後的真實商業資料。* 提供完整程式碼無痛接軌實作。* 中華企業資源規劃學會「商用數據應用師」認證教材指定用書。

The incredibly buzzy debut that everyone is talking about -- a love story about two people pulled apart by the same force that draws them together: music.It’s a Friday night in a campus bar in Berkeley, fall of 2000, and Percy Marks is pontificating about music again. Hall and Oates is on the jukebox, and Percy—who has no talent for music, just lots of opinions about it—can’t stop herself from overanalyzing the song, indulging what she knows to be her most annoying habit. But something is different tonight. The guy beside her at the bar, fellow student Joe Morrow, is a songwriter. And he could listen to Percy talk all night.Joe asks Percy for feedback on one of his songs—and the results kick off a partnership that will span years, ignite new passions in them both, and set Joe on a path to indie-rock stardom. But it also bruises Joe’s ego, and traps Percy in a role she resents. How long can Percy ignore the roars of her heart, and of her own unique talent, to protect their thrilling col

Asian Celebrity Cultures in the Digital Age represents the first comprehensive study on the transformations of celebrity cultures in increasingly globalised and digitalised Asian societies. It discusses relations between Asian celebrities and digital media across emerging phenomena in celebrity practices, cultures, politics, fandom, and economies. Highlighting original case studies from prominent Asian societies, including India, China, Hong Kong, the Philippines, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, South Korea, and Japan, this book sheds much-needed light on the de-Westernisation and internationalisation of celebrity studies and is essential reading for scholars and students in celebrity, fandom, digital media and communication, and cultural studies.
