近年來，由於計算機性能的提高、社會科學研究中的可重複性問題以及駭客攻擊，使用貝氏（Bayes）方法進行分析引起了人們的關注。R、JAGS、Stan是典型的可以進行貝氏分析的統計軟體。這三款統計軟體都是GUI的統計軟體，可以用在多樣的貝氏方法中進行分析，但是都需要編寫程式碼（code），對於初學者來說是一個很高的學習成本。SPSS則是初學者也可以輕鬆進行貝氏分析的統計軟體之一。本書針對想要（或不得不）使用貝氏方法進行分析的大學生、研究生、研究人員和在職人士進行整理說明。針對新手，本書將數學公式保持在最低限度，以便使分析和相關概念可以用通俗易懂的方式理解。本書是以簡明易懂為目標，捨棄公式的說明，重點放在如何使用SPSS進行貝氏分析以及如何解釋得出的報告，對初學者更可在最短時間內了解貝氏分析為何物。

※圖文並茂．容易理解．快速吸收※ㄧ單元一概念，迅速掌握顧客關係管理的精華與內涵。※CRM＝顧客關係管理＝會員經營。※改版新增會員經營實戰全方位知識及會員經營成功案例。顧客關係管理(CRM)，亦可以視為「顧客」＋「關係管理」兩者的組合體。更深一層來看，CRM其實就是「企業的顧客戰略」，亦即將「顧客」視為企業最為核心的戰略問題來看待。近十年來，各行各業主力公司大都已引進「會員經營」與「會員行銷」的制度及操作，企業需做好哪些核心重點工作，才能真正「深耕會員」，達成「鞏固」及「黏著」會員的目標，本書有專章說明。傳統行銷強調4P組合，即產品（Product）、定價（Price）、通路（Place）、推廣（Promotion）等4P力量的組合；後來服務業普及，又增加服務S（Service），成為4P/1S組合。如今，CRM為行銷戰略的一把利劍，又增加1C；故現代行銷組合應該強調為4P/1S/1C的六項有力組合，才能在市場上行銷致勝。最近，又有Big Data巨量資料、海量資料及大數據觀念與應用的快速崛起，其整體框架與運用，又比CRM大很多，成為建立在CRM之上的總體觀。

In ancient times, scholars such as Confucius and Aristotle expounded on the virtue of the “middle way” or “intermediate,” an ideal point of moderation or balance between the extremes of human behavior. Adam Smith, widely considered the father of modern economics as we know it, also encouraged propriety in his first work, The Theory of Moral Sentiments. Since then, different schools of economics have continued to incorporate the idea of propriety into their theories, for example in such concepts as equilibrium and bounded rationality, though few economists have defined it explicitly. In light of growing uncertainty and polarization around the world, propriety economics offers alternative solutions for markets, governments, and everyday citizens.This book embarks on a thorough review of Eastern and Western philosophies of propriety over the past 2,500 years, followed by an investigation of the ideas of propriety found in five key schools of economics: classical, neoclassical, institution

Except, it’s not exactly like in the postcards:1. School’s a lot harder than she thought. When she mispronounces some words in English on the first day, she decides she simply won’t talk. Ever again.

藥，改變了所有人的生活。藥（drug）是指刻意服用以獲得預期效果的化學物質。有些藥是醫療用途，意在治療疾病，有些藥則是為了產生令人愉悅的反應，兩種用途都由來已久。本書從歷史開始，介紹藥物是什麼、如何發揮作用、過去一百年來藥理學領域的進展，以及醫療用藥物和娛樂用藥物的作用方式。書中同時介紹醫療用藥物開發和製藥產業的運作方式，並探討娛樂用藥物的政治、法律、醫學和社會層面。過去兩百年來，我們社會對藥物的態度有過幾次巨大轉變：鴉片和古柯鹼從好東西變成壞東西，尼古丁也是如此。大麻雖然違法，每年有數十萬人因此被捕入獄，卻也有許多政府開始認為，大麻並不比酒精或菸危險。有些國家已經將大麻合法化，像菸酒一樣只做有限度管制。21世紀，我們該如何用「藥」？======當我們懂得想像憂鬱是一種疼痛、迷信是一種感覺被愛的社會支持，而藥物反映了我們潛在的焦慮之後，我們才有可能在高度原子化的社會結構中了解21世紀六大煩惱的社會根源，建構適合每一個社群與每一個人的療癒文化。——趙恩潔

For fans of Oliver Jeffers, this stunningly illustrated, whimsical picture book is about finding your own voice and learning how to connect with others through storytelling. A quiet child in a boisterous family, Emma Wen dreams of a world that is peaceful and silent. When she reads about the blue whale - with a heart so big her father could stand in it - she has an idea. She fashions a boat out of household objects and sails from her bedroom into the mouth of a whale, where she settles in happily. Emma has finally found her peace and quiet. That is until another child, Owen Tang, arrives inside the whale and is loud, noisy and "everything she is running away from". Emma and Owen's unlikely friendship blossoms inside the microcosm of the whale in a beautifully told story of friendship and finding your own voice in a world that is "filled with too much of everything, everywhere." With lush, irresistible illustrations and its balance of sensitivity and adventure, Xin Li's author/illustrat
