「為解放而戰的青蛙們，唯有蹲坐在陰暗的半個椰殼底下不動才會失敗。全世界的青蛙團結起來！」 《想像的共同體》作者班納迪克．安德森學術人生自述 是什麼樣的社會、政治、文化與時代背景，孕育、教育並養成了《想像的共同體》（Imagined Communities: Reflections on the Origin and Spread of Nationalism）的作者班納迪克．安德森(Benedict Anderson)？ 班納迪克．安德森終其一生都在挑戰他那個時代的紀律、文化、學術和政治的界限。在《椰殼碗外的人生》（A Life Beyond Boundaries）這本書裡，他記述自己人生中智識形成的歷程，如何迎向寬廣的世界，從中感受探索學習語言的樂趣，以及田野調查的重要性、新左派對全球思維的影響力、教書帶來的滿足感和對世界文學的熱愛。安德森同時在書中敘述一九六五年印尼發生流產政變後，他揭發軍方所扮演的角色，結果遭到蘇哈托政權驅逐出境。此外，他也重溫自己最知名，改變了民族主義研究的著作--《想像的共同體》背後的構思與靈感。 二○一五年安德森修改完本書的校樣後不久，便在爪哇與世長辭，旋即從亞洲湧來大量向他致敬的悼文，顯示安德森的作品將會繼續啟發和鼓舞年輕與年長世代的心靈。 媒體評論 「本書以特有的魅力與文學美感，記述一位當代極受仰慕的學者的智識軌跡。」——古哈(Ramachandra Guha)，《泰唔士報》文學副刊(Times Literary Supplement) 「迷人而低調的回憶錄。作者心酸的表示他對於自己的成就感到多麼幸運。我們都應該感同身受。」——《展望》雜誌(Prospect Magazine) 「安德森是舒適圈的敵人，不論國家、學校或語言皆是如此。他反覆再三的提到泰國和印尼文化的一個意象，也就是一輩子住在半個椰子殼下的青蛙。閱讀安德森的書讓人產生從椰子殼裡探出頭來的感覺。」——《經濟學人》雜誌(Economist) 「安德森的寫作充滿紳士味，仁善，還點綴著笑話——他這種非正式、易閱讀、跨學科的寫作風格一如既往贏得多方喝采。」——《衛報》(Guardian) 「世紀主義的入門書，提供跨越地理、歷史、語言、學科邊界的主張。」——《國家》雜誌(Nation)

Functional programming (函數式程式設計) 是一種已有六十年歷史的程式設計範式，為何現在變得越來越重要？這是因為隨著各種連網設備 (如行動裝置) 和雲端服務的普及，多程序透過網路交換訊息已成為常態，因此分散式系統的開發變得至關重要。分散式系統軟體開發的複雜性往往導致開發過程容易陷入混亂，程式碼盤根錯節難以除錯維護與擴展，成為揮之不去卻又不敢動的痛處。而 functional programming 的簡約風格因此受到廣泛關注。這種設計範式強調使用函式來構建應用程式，程式碼清晰又容易維護，亦能解決分散式系統多執行緒的問題。除了專門的函數式語言之外，Python、Java、JavaScript、C#、C++、Go 和 Rust 等知名語言的新版中，也因應趨勢增強了對 functional programming 的支援。只要建立了這種思維方式，你就可以應用在自己的程式語言中。市面上與 functional programming 相關的書籍 (主要為英文書) 通常由學者撰寫，內容偏重理論，而在大型實務專案經驗上顯得不足。這類書中的範例大多過於簡單，未能涉及實際軟體架構問題。與此相反，本書作者擁有二十年在產業界實際運用 functional programming 的經驗，從產業角度出發，旨在幫助那些在軟體工程實踐中遇到困難的工程師重新思考。即使你的目的不是分散式系統，學習 functional programming 的思維都能夠幫助你在撰寫任何程式時想得更周到。由於 functional programming 的特點 — 無 side effects（額外作用）和資料的不可變性 — 使得它非常適用於開發網路程式，在這種環境中，資料一致性和狀態管理是關鍵挑戰。本書透過 concurrency primitives（併發基本工具）實作、繪製時間線圖、分析並解決併發操作中的插緒問題，有效處理狀態變化和 bug，從而構建可靠的分散式系統程式。本書特色: ●作者從產業界的視角出發，旨在幫助那些陷入困境的軟體工程師，重新審視並採納 functional programming 程式設計方法。●為了更貼近軟體工程師的實際狀況，書中以廣泛熟知的 JavaScript 語言做示範。雖然 JavaScript 不是最理想的函數式語言，但這一點

Too Bright to See meets Doll Bones in a spooky, atmospheric adventure about a reluctant hero’s journey into a terrifying other world.Some would call River Rydell a ‘chosen one’: born with the ability to see monsters and travel to a terrifying world called The Otherwoods, they have all the makings of a hero. But River just calls themself unlucky. It’s not like anyone actually believes River can do these things, so the way River sees it, it’s best to just ignore anything Otherwoods related.But The Otherwoods won’t be ignored any longer.When River’s only friend (and crush) Avery is dragged into The Otherwoods, River has no choice but to confront the world they’ve seen only in their nightmares—but reality is more horrifying than they could have ever imagined. With only their cat for protection and a teen spirit as their guide, River must face The Otherwoods and their own fears to become the hero they were (unfortunately) destined to be.

FOREWORDAt the beginning of 2024, I was invited to contribute to a project focused on women who engage in futures thinking and foresight. As a cornerstone of the project, a seminarwas planned to celebrateInternational Women’s Day. In preparation for the event, a vibrant exchange unfolded in a WhatsApp group. Participants, including myself, posed questions, suggested sessions, and explored shared concerns and interests. The following were some of the questions raised:• Why do so many people, who agree with the principles of feminism, hesitate to identify themselves as feminists?• What does feminism signify in 2024?• How should we define it?• Can individuals of genders other than women be feminists?• Is feminism still relevant, or is it considered passé?• Does the concept of feminism require rebranding?• Should we discuss feminism in the singular or feminismS in the plural?• Are we now closer to achieving the central feminist vision of an equitable

The significance of Fong Chung-Ray’s artistic oeuvre lies in his contribution both to the global art scene and the representation of Chinese artistic traditions in late twentieth- and early twenty-first-century California. As an ambassador for art, he has played a crucial role in fostering cultural exchange between China and the West, and his artworks have introduced richly diverse artistic traditions, techniques and themes to international audiences, promoting a deeper understanding and appreciation of Chinese culture.This anniversary publication presents a careful selection of Fong’s work tracing his artistic career and stylistic development over the last 60 years. It is a testament to the master’s contribution to late-twentieth-century Chinese painting in a global context.藝術家馮鍾睿的創作夙負盛名。二十世紀晚期至二十一世紀初，馮氏以中國傳統為基礎的作品於美國加州藝壇獨樹一幟，其畫風及作畫方式多元豐碩，展現出他對融合中西藝術的永恆追求。馮氏以自身創作於海外積極傳播中華文化，在推動跨文化交流方面扮演了重要的角色，幫助國際社會更深入地理解和欣賞中國藝術。是次富有紀念意義的出版物包括橫跨馮鍾睿整個創作生涯的多幅作品，回顧他過去六十年的藝術成就和風格發展，對這位大師在二十世紀晚期中國畫壇所作出的貢獻予

In this open access book, Carlos Montemayor illuminates the development of artificial intelligence (AI) by examining our drive to live a dignified life. He uses the notions of agency and attention to consider our pursuit of what is important. His method shows how the best way to guarantee value alignment between humans and potentially intelligent machines is through attention routines that satisfy similar needs.Setting out a theoretical framework for AI Montemayor acknowledges its legal, moral, and political implications and takes into account how epistemic agency differs from moral agency. Through his insightful comparisons between human and animal intelligence, Montemayor makes it clear why adopting a need-based attention approach justifies a humanitarian framework. This is an urgent, timely argument for developing AI technologies based on international human rights agreements.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycolle
