奧利佛．薩克斯以細膩筆法描寫自己年輕時的熱血與迷惘，從愛上重機、公路與鍛鍊身體，到走入加州與紐約醫院，與病患同行、發現未知疾病。他誠實談及家人、愛情、思鄉與學術啟發，也讓我們看見，推動他行動與思索的，其實是同一股不安分的求知熱情。When Oliver Sacks was twelve years old, a perceptive schoolmaster wrote in his report: 'Sacks will go far, if he does not go too far'. It is now abundantly clear that Sacks has never stopped going . . .From its opening pages on his youthful obsession with motorcycles and speed, On the Move is infused with his restless energy. As he recounts his experiences as a young neurologist in the early 1960s, first in California and then in New York, where he discovered a long-forgotten illness in the back wards of a chronic hospital, as well as with a group of patients who would define his life, it becomes clear that Sacks's earnest desire for engagement has occasioned unexpected encounters and travels – sending him through bars and alleys, over oceans, and across continents.With unbridled honesty and humour, Sacks shows us that the same energy that drives his physical passions –bod

本書內容分為三大部分︰古典測驗篇、現代測驗篇、心理測驗篇。古典測驗篇主要介紹信度、效度，以及試題分析中的難度、鑑別度、誘答力分析。接著導入現代測驗篇，介紹了試題反應理論（IRT）中常見的二元計分模式、多元計分模式，並兼論試題特徵曲線、試題訊息函數、試題差異功能分析等議題，最後介紹心理測驗篇常用的心理測驗、問卷或量表。作者以統計學專業背景，深入淺出方式，試圖讓讀者了解每個模式的意涵，這也是作者多年來的期許，希望不是統計背景的學生也能更切入模式的測量意義，但又擔心說明過多，讀者更模糊，所以每個章節末都會作個小結，方便讀者聚焦。同時每個模式輔以R程式繪出模式圖形，沒有比圖形能更快認識模式的，在程式普及的當今，模式、程式、圖形缺一不可。本書內容適合大學部學生或研究生。古典測驗篇、心理測驗篇及現代測驗篇的部分章節，應可滿足大學部學生有關教育測驗或心理測驗課程的需求。現代測驗篇所有章節可以作為進階課程用，亦適合研究生需求。本書每章所附習題，可以提供讀者練習，有助於內文的理解，有些題目取自國家考試，對於讀者準備相關考試亦有所助益。

In the past, the zheng had appeared in small instrumental ensembles and supplied improvised accompaniments to song. Zheng music became a means of nation-building and was eventually promoted as a marker of Chinese identity in Hong Kong. Ann L. Silverberg uses evidence from the greater China area to show how the narrative history of the zheng created on the mainland did not represent zheng music as it had been in the past. Silverberg ultimately argues that the zheng’s older repertory was poorly represented by efforts to collect and promote zheng music in the twentieth century. This book contends that the restored “traditional Chinese music” created and promulgated from the 1920s forward—and solo zheng music in
