Chen Shui-bian is one of the most consequential -- and controversial -- politicians in Taiwan’s modern history. He broke the political grip of the ruling Kuomintang (Nationalist Party), winning the presidency in 2000 and paving the way for the first peaceful transfer of power to the opposition – the Democratic Progressive Party.But he was also convicted in four corruption-related criminal cases, and his actions inflicted great political harm on a young democracy. Ultimately, Chen will be remembered as the first president of Taiwan to be sentenced to jail.Chen’s intriguing story deserves retelling, and veteran journalist Osman Tseng is uniquely suited to the task. Tseng’s journalistic career spanned more than four decades with the Chinese language China Times as well as English media outlets, the China Post, and the China Economic News Service (CENS). This gave him a choice vantage point for observing Chen’s political ascent and the dramatic legal battles of his eventual downfall.◎代理經銷：

掌握數字，學會顧問級的思考功力，就在這本書！ 專文推薦：齊立文 《經理人月刊》總編輯顧家祈 斜槓創業家╱AI學習專家 以下的問題，你會回答嗎？ 按摩椅的市場規模？2　健身房的單店營業額？3 籃球人口有多少？4 電鍋的市場規模？5 便利商店的單店營業額？6　（新冠疫情前）拉麵店的營業額？7 嬰兒車的市場規模？8 福山雅治在電影《盛夏的方程式》的片酬？ 這些問題就是所謂「費米推論」的問題，也有人說是費米估算、費米問題，它是物理學家費米（Enrico Fermi）所提出的一種快速估算的方法，經典的題目包括「芝加哥有多少個鋼琴調音師？」。長期以來，費米推論是顧問業界的面試必考題，以測試面試者的思考能力。 聽到「費米推論」，你會想到什麼？「那是顧問公司面試時會出的題目而已吧？」「估算國內總共有幾根電線桿？這個去查一下就有了，出這種題目有必要嗎？」「讓算術比較好的人去算不就得了……」可能很多人都有這樣的疑問。 但是，其實不然。費米推論的技巧與內涵，不光是對企管顧問來說是必要的，對於所有職場人士來說更是必要，而且，在科技和環境變化越來越快速的時代，所面對的問題通常是「沒有正確答案的問題」，這正是費米推論的核心要旨：你如何作粗略的估算、如何去思考這類問題，將變得越來越重要。 因此，不光是顧問業界重視這項技術，企業家、創業者、一般工作者，例如碰到要拓展新事業、新產品，要估算某樣東西的市場規模有多大，或是，某個專案需要多少個「人月」才能完成，這時如果不懂費米推論，將很難得到好的結果。 依本書作者高松智史來看，費米推論至少具有以下幾個特質： 1.費米推論＝依據常識．知識，運用邏輯，計算「未知的數字」2.費米推論是一種「沒有解答的比賽」3.費米推論＝「因數分解」＋「值」＋「講述技巧」4.費米推論＝「現實的投射」5.費米推論＝「商業模式的反映」　6.費米推論，在疫情前和疫情中也有所不同。7.費米推論，不光是得出「數字」，其背後的「思考方式」、「工作方法」才是重點8.費米推論＝「顧問面試」 這本書不但有很多實例可以練習，有大量的圖可以幫助理解，而且您會發現，它也教你一套更優秀的工作方法，一種更實用的數據思維，它是

The 2024 New York Times / New York Public Library Best Illustrated Children's BooksFrom the inimitable creator of El Deafo, this all-ages alphabet book is also a hand-wrought, high-fidelity, hilariously tongue-in-cheek homage to the golden days of album cover art. Cece Bell loves music and collecting old record albums, her introduction explains, especially albums featuring animal artists. The bouncing harmonies of the Barbershop Beagles, the elegant crooning of the elephant Ella Fontaine, the hilarious rhymes of the Hip-Hop Hedgehogs--all are represented in this quirky ABC book that draws on the creator's personal collection of albums, memorabilia, and lyrics dating between 1944 and 1984, the heyday of album design. With wry, witty text, silly and sumptuous sound play, and biographical end matter on all twenty-six musical acts, the book commands and stands up to repeated readings. Bright, zany art--all painted and lettered by hand--a stellar design, and an album-size trim make it a col
