Massachusetts Bay Colony, 1692. When the first girl fell down screaming, the people of Salem Village thought it might just be silliness. Then a second girl started barking. A third and fourth began to shake uncontrollably. A doctor said "an evil hand" had come upon the girls, and everyone knew: They were bewitched. But who were the witches?

The village erupted in accusations, suspicion, and fear. By the time the witch trials ended, dozens of lives had been ruined, and twenty people were dead. And I saw it all.With a snarky and surprising first-person narrator - a historical figure that played a major role in events - acclaimed writer Katie Kennedy offers a fresh new take on the greatest true-crime story in American history.

本書自2000年初版以來，內容包含基礎之市場、財務、估價及投資與證券化分析等主題，也隨著景氣循環探討通貨緊縮與通貨膨脹對不動產市場之影響，以及導致不同循環的因素，如「量化寬鬆｣(Quantitative Easing, QE)及COVID-19疫情下「隔離政策｣後的高通膨現象；而因應政策及法規的演進，作者亦針對實價登錄、房地合一稅、囤房稅及「限貸令｣等新制對於不動產市場的影響進行分析。本書在不動產相關專業的深度、廣度及與時俱進，深獲學術界、實務界、政府部門及各類不動產相關證照典試委員及考生好評。最新八版即時提供最新國際規範及技術之資訊給讀者。首先是「碳中和」(Carbon Neutralization)制度對不動產市場的影響。近幾年全球暖化現象日趨嚴重，國際間的環保規範——「碳中和」制度已開始對未達減碳要求的企業課徵「碳稅」，由於不動產業生命週期自生產、使用至拆除占總碳排放的三分之一以上，因此課碳稅也對不動產業生產成本產生衝擊。其次是「人工智慧」(Artificial Intelligence, AI)技術的日新月異對所有產業帶來「革命性」的震撼，不動產業亦是如此，因此，作者介紹AI技術對於不動產價格評估上效率及精準度的提升，並與傳統計量模型（如迴歸）做比較。但作者也提醒讀者需留意AI在財務預測效力的限制，仍無法突破「效率市場假說」(Efficient Market Hypothesis, EMH)中｢新資訊」的要件。第三則是｢大數據」(Big Data)的應用。隨著巨量且多樣的網路搜尋紀錄，以及政府與商家稅費或消費資料內容的持續累積，「大數據分析」已在各產業的市場分析扮演不可或缺且即時的角色，作者亦在第八版介紹大數據在不動產市場的應用及相關技術。本書已邁入第26年，第八版除了上述內容外，也蒐集了作者多年來於報章或網路媒體所發表的時事及學術研究之「科普」文章，資料內容豐富，因此，本書以QR Code讓讀者方便展讀，並得以影音方式，讓作者親自導讀。這些國際新觀念之融入及新技術之應用，將帶給讀者更豐富且多元的學習饗宴，也必能讓讀者「入寶山滿載而歸」！教學配件：教學PowerPoint、教師手冊本書搭配：影音導讀、線上房貸精打計算軟體vs.專案評估、延伸閱讀

單字，跟著對的方法學，才能真正記得住。讓7000單字不只是考試工具，而是能幫你打開世界的語言鑰匙。系統性學習×實用例句×文法解析×搭配補充打造7000單字的英文實戰力！單字不是背得多，而是要用得好 在臺灣，不管你是準備學測、指考、托福、多益，還是想加強職場英文實力，7000單字都是你無法跳過的關卡。 但真正的問題不是「要不要背」，而是你要用什麼方法，把這7000單字變成隨時能脫口而出的語言力？ 《7000單字這樣學才記得住》幫你一次解決死記硬背、無法活用、只會考試的三大學習痛點。這不是一本把單字硬塞進腦袋的書，而是一本帶你從理解到應用、從記憶到流利的全方位單字訓練工具。分級學習，從Level 1到Level 6循序漸進 將7000單字依照難度分級，從基礎到進階不斷層。無論你是英文新手，還是已經有一定實力，都能找到適合自己的起點。實用例句+道地諺語，提升語感與表達力 每個單字都搭配貼近日常的例句與常用諺語，讓你在語境中理解詞意與用法，說出和母語者一樣道地的英文。例如Time and tide wait for no man.（時不我予）、Think twice before you leap.（三思而後行）英文單字不只是會背，更要能說出口、用得好。文法字詞解析，幫你學會正確語法變化 每個單字不只提供詞性與基本意思，還精心補充常見文法形式與用法規則。例如：•beautiful：比較級是more beautiful，最高級的寫法是the most beautiful•assist：assist with後面接名詞，assist in則要接動名詞學完一個單字，就能一併掌握它的正確造句規則。常見搭配詞，讓用字更自然 英文並不是由一個個孤立的單字拼湊而成，而是透過各種搭配組合，才能展現出真正自然的語感。例如，drag可以和out搭配，變成 drag out（把…拖出），也能和up結合，變成 drag up（舊事重提）；又如long，除了long before（很久之前）、no longer（不再）之外，還有許多不同的用法和語氣差異。 這些母語者每天都在使用的高頻搭配，本書一次為你一網打盡。

持續應證與探索 – 徐岩奇「關於有機建築」作品集是本所的第二本作品集。2010年第一本以「有機為名」Zoom in Zoom out出版時，是事務所開業的第10年，由於當時印刷數量少，但回響不錯，經過贈送與銷售，很快便沒有剩餘。很多朋友反應希望收藏，要求再次出版，但由於是手工書，再版實受限制，因而醞釀出版新作品集的動機；時去荏苒，歲行復半，事務所已經成立第25年。作品集收錄分公家案和私人案，當中作品執行多不容易；公家案更常陷入台灣制度的泥沼，我早已將它視為淬鍊。當中南投廣英國小、雲林麥寮社教園區，分別代表兩段時期的里程碑，實踐有機建築在台灣。內容也收錄了文章論述，多是在幾次建築旅行後寫下的心得；主要是想應證我在學生時代所受的有機建築教育，師長們留下來重要的思想談話。透過同儕交流、設計實踐、旅行過程，持續應證與探索。執業過程我同時在大學帶設計課，發現這幾年網路資訊傳播非常的快，有機建築已不再神秘，引用「有機」似乎變得很受歡迎。看似枯燥的建築史，都透露了當時西方建築界分裂成兩派；不似機械論簡單易懂，艱澀的有機學派幾乎被歷史遺忘，到如今卻影響甚大，甚至有機觀念部分早已內化，例如因地制宜、適材適所等觀念。有機建築的本質探討變成很重要，否則很容易掉入形式陷阱。出版作品集不代表完全了解什麼是有機建築，相反地我仍在不斷地探索與學習。感謝上帝，感謝影響我甚遠的德籍教授Pr. Dr. Arin、李𠄘寬先生等。感謝受邀寫序的孫全文、阮慶岳、龔書章、褚瑞基、謝宗哲等老師們，他們看著我一路學習成長，也常有交流的機會；邀請他們一起來側寫，希望留給後繼者持續研究探討有機建築。獻上深深感恩！
