在智慧型手機、社群平台與即時影音盛行的時代，隱私與言論自由之間的界線愈發緊張。本書由Mark Tunick出發，透過美國、歐洲、英國與澳洲等地的重要判例，分析當科技讓個人受到不必要關注時，法律與倫理應如何回應。作者先釐清隱私與言論自由各自的價值，再建立衡量兩者衝突的分析框架，討論何謂正當的隱私利益、新聞價值與「被遺忘權」。學界書評肯定其案例選擇具代表性、比較法視角清楚，是理解當代隱私與言論自由議題的重要入門與參考。比較法視角檢視隱私與言論衝突以關鍵案例建構分析框架適合法律與媒體研究讀者In an age of smartphones, Facebook and YouTube, privacy may seem to be a norm of the past. This book addresses ethical and legal questions that arise when media technologies are used to give individuals unwanted attention. Drawing from a broad range of cases within the US, UK, Australia, Europe, and elsewhere, Mark Tunick asks whether privacy interests can ever be weightier than society’s interest in free speech and access to information.Taking a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, and drawing on the work of political theorist Jeremy Waldron concerning toleration, the book argues that we can still have a legitimate interest in controlling the extent to which information about us is disseminated. The book begins by exploring why privacy a

★ 從達文西到當代建築，揭開「互承結構」千年不墜的設計奧祕★ 結構力學 × 幾何美感 × 空間創意，一本看懂建築中最迷人的支撐藝術★ 收錄英美日精彩案例，帶你看見理性與詩意並存的建築風景所謂 reciprocal frame，指的是由彼此支撐的梁材所組成的三維結構。看似簡單，背後卻蘊藏驚人的幾何秩序與空間美感。本書從中世紀建築草圖、達文西與Serlio的歷史設計出發，循序帶領讀者理解互承結構的形成原理、形態變化，以及在現代建築中的實際應用。書中不僅解析設計、施工與結構層面的關鍵思考，也透過英國、美國、日本等地的精彩案例，呈現這類建築如何在輕盈、優雅與穩固之間取得動人平衡。從低環境衝擊的自力建造，到日本極具美感的劇場、住宅與博物館，本書讓古老智慧重新進入當代建築語言，為建築師、結構工程師，以及所有熱愛空間設計的人，打開一扇全新的觀看之門。In structural terms reciprocal frame structures are 'three dimensional assemblies of mutually supporting beams'. But behind this definition lie some breathtakingly beautiful and complex structures at the heart of buildings both ancient and modern. This new book explores the principles of these apparently simple structures and demonstrates how they can be used in the context of a modern building.Starting with historic designs by de Honnecourt, Da Vinci and Serlio, the book presents the wealth of possible RF morphologies, and investigates the geometrical, structural and practical design issues of reciprocal frames.
