The first exhaustive English-language history and analysis of the Chinese opera genre, Kunqu. In Kunqu: A Classical Opera of Twenty-First-Century China, Joseph S. C. Lam offers a holistic and interdisciplinary view of Kunqu, a 600-year-old genre of Chinese opera that has been fashionably performed inside and outside of China. The first comprehensive and scholarly book on Kunqu written in English, this book explains how and why the genre charms and signifies Chinese culture, history, and personhood. Approaching the genre from several perspectives, ranging from those of performers and producers to those of casual audiences, dedicated connoisseurs, and scholarly critics, Lam also employs a judicious blend of Chinese and international theories and methods. Herein, he establishes the significance of Kunqu not only in the sphere of Chinese music but among the cultural heritage and performing arts at a global level as well.

本書主要是給讀者熟悉使用Ameba RTL8195AM偵測各類有害氣體之氣體模組的介紹、使用方式、電路連接範例等等。Ameba RTL8195AM開發板最強大的不只是它的簡單易學的開發工具，最強大的是它網路功能與簡單易學的模組函式庫，幾乎Maker想到應用於物聯網開發的東西，只要透過眾多的周邊模組，都可以輕易的將想要完成的東西用堆積木的方式快速建立，而且Ameba RTL8195AM開發板市售價格比原廠Arduino Yun或Arduino + Wifi Shield更具優勢，最強大的是這些周邊模組對應的函式庫，瑞昱科技有專職的研發人員不斷的支持，讓Maker不需要具有深厚的電子、電機與電路能力，就可以輕易駕御這些模組。

在克里斯．安德森（Chris Anderson）所著「自造者時代：啟動人人製造的第三次工業革命」提到，過去幾年，世界來到了一個重要里程碑：實體製造的過程愈來愈像軟體設計，開放原始碼創造了軟體大量散布與廣泛使用，如今，實體物品上也逐漸發生同樣的效應。網路社群中的程式設計師從Linux作業系統出發，架設了今日世界上絕大部分的網站（Apache WebServer），到使用端廣受歡迎的FireFox瀏覽器等，都是開放原始碼軟體的最佳案例。 現在自造者社群（Maker Space）也正藉由開放原始碼硬體，製造出電子產品、科學儀器、建築物，甚至是3C產品。其中如Arduino開發板，銷售量已遠超過當初設計者的預估。連網路巨擘Google Inc.也加入這場開放原始碼運動，推出開放原始碼電子零件，讓大家發明出來的硬體成品，也能與Android軟體連結、開發與應用。 目前全球各地目前有成千上萬個「自造空間」（makerspace）─光是上海就有上百個正在籌備中，多自造空間都是由在地社群所創辦。如聖馬特奧市（SanMateo）的自造者博覽會（Maker Faire），每年吸引數10萬名自造者前來朝聖，彼此觀摩學習。但不光是美國，全球各地還有許多自造者博覽會，台灣一年一度也於當地舉辦Maker Fair Taiwan，數十萬的自造者（Maker）參予了每年一度的盛會。 本系列「Maker系列」由此概念而生。面對越來越多的知識學子，也希望成為自造者（Make），追求創意與最新的技術潮流，筆著因應世界潮流與趨勢，思考著「如何透過逆向工程的技術與手法，將現有產品開發技術轉換為我的知識」的思維，如果我們可以駭入產品結構與設計思維，那麼了解產品的機構運作原理與方法就不是一件難事了。更進一步我們可以將原有產品改造、升級、創新，並可以將學習到的技術運用其他技術或新技術領域，透過這樣學習思維與方法，可以更快速的掌握研發與製造的核心技術，相信這樣的學習方式，會比起在已建構好的開發模組或學習套件中學習某個新技術或原理，來的更踏實的多。 本系列的書籍，因應自造者運動的世界潮流，希望讀者當一位自造者，將現有產品的產品透過逆向工程的手法，進而了解核心控制系統之軟硬體，再透過簡單易學的Arduino單晶片與C語言，重新開發出原有產品，進而改進、加強、創新其原有產品的架構。如此一來，因為學子們進行「重新開

本書主要教導新手與初階使用者之讀者熟悉使用ESP32開發板使ESP32S的屠龍寶刀-周邊模組。ESP32S開發板最強大的不只是它的簡單易學的開發工具，最強大的是它豐富的周邊模組與簡單易學的模組函式庫，幾乎Maker想到的東西，都有廠商或Maker開發它的周邊模組，透過這些周邊模組，Maker可以輕易的將想要完成的東西用堆積木的方式快速建立，而且最強大的是這些周邊模組都有對應的函式庫，讓Maker不需要具有深厚的電子、電機與電路能力，就可以輕易駕禦這些模組。所以本書要介紹市面上最完整、最受歡迎的37件ESP32S模組，讓讀者可以輕鬆學會這些常用模組的使用方法，進而提升各位Maker的實力。

本書是『ESP系列程式設計』的第三本書，主要教導新手與初階使用者之讀者熟悉使用ESP32開發板，進入物聯網的實際應用，本書一個特點就是使用一個最基礎的溫溼度感測器，進而製作一個網際網路的物聯網的基礎應用，進而做資料庫應用與視覺化…等等。ESP 32開發板最強大的不只是它的簡單易學的開發工具，最強大的是它網路功能與簡單易學的模組函式庫，幾乎Maker想到應用於物聯網開發的東西，只要透過眾多的周邊模組，都可以輕易的將想要完成的東西用堆積木的方式快速建立，而且ESP 32開發板市售價格比原廠Arduino Yun或Arduino + Wifi Shield更具優勢，最強大的是這些周邊模組對應的函式庫，瑞昱科技有專職的研發人員不斷的支持，讓Maker不需要具有深厚的電子、電機與電路能力，就可以輕易駕御這些模組。筆者很早就開始使用ESP 32開發板，也算是先驅使用者，希望筆者可以推出更多的入門書籍給更多想要進入『ESP 32開發板』、『物聯網』這個未來大趨勢，所有才有這個系列的產生。

This book answers one of the most critical questions of our time, does the vast connectivity afforded by mobile and social media lead to more personal connection with one another? It offers an evidence-based account of the role of technology in close relationships that confronts such pressing questions as where face-to-face communication belongs in this digital age, whether social media is harmful to our well-being, and how online communication spills-over into our offline communication and relationships. Each chapter explores the positive and negative influences of media on relationships, coalescing into a balanced assessment of how technological advancement has altered our connections with each other. By zeroing in on communication with the most important people in our lives and tracing the changes in computer-mediated communication over time, Relating Through Technology focuses the conversation about media on its use in our everyday lives and relationships.

This brand-new series highlights some of the major contributions women have made in the world of science.Did you know that the technology behind cell phones was based on an idea developed during World War II by the Hollywood star Heddy Lamar to prevent the enemy intercepting radio messages? The computer and other electronic devices have changed life dramatically over the last 70 years―and many of the key breakthroughs in technology were made by women. These women’s achievements were often highly specialized and have been widely overlooked. This book tells their stories and describes their vital contributions.

This hands-on tutorial is a broad examination of how a modern computer works. Classroom tested for over a decade, it gives readers a firm understanding of how computers do what they do, covering essentials like data storage, logic gates and transistors, data types, the CPU, assembly, and machine code.Introduction to Computer Organization gives programmers a practical understanding of what happens in a computer when you execute your code. You may never have to write x86-64 assembly language or design hardware yourself, but knowing how the hardware and software works will give you greater control and confidence over your coding decisions. We start with high level fundamental concepts like memory organization, binary logic, and data types and then explore how they are implemented at the assembly language level.The goal isn’t to make you an assembly programmer, but to help you comprehend what happens behind the scenes between running your program and seeing “Hello World” displayed on the s
