Computer graphics is a vast field that is becoming larger every day. It is impossible to cover every topic of interest, even within a specialization such as CG rendering. For many years, Noriko Kurachi has reported on the latest developments for Japanese readers in her monthly column for CG World. Being something of a pioneer herself, she selected topics that represented original and promising new directions for research. Many of these novel ideas are the topics covered in The Magic of Computer Graphics.Starting from the basic behavior of light, the first section of the book introduces the most useful techniques for global and local illumination using geometric descriptions of an environment. The second section goes on to describe image-based techniques that rely on captured data to do their magic. In the final section, the author looks at the synthesis of these two complementary approaches and what they mean for the future of computer graphics.

This textbook carefully develops the main ideas and techniques of statistical and thermal physics and is intended for upper-level undergraduate courses. The authors each have more than thirty years'

This volume gives language teachers, software designers, and researchers who wish to use technology in second or foreign language education the information they need to absorb what has been achieved so far and to make sense of it. It is designed to enable the kind of critical reading of a substantial literature that leads to a balanced and detailed knowledge of the field. Chapter by chapter, the book builds, through description, analysis, examples, and discussion, a detailed picture of modern CALL.In this book, the label “CALL” is interpreted broadly to include technology-enhanced language learning, Web-enhanced language learning, and information and communication technologies for language learning. The work is distinguished by its attention to a range of languages rather than just English.The authors first set the scene and introduce major areas of interest and growth in CALL, and then look in depth at seven important dimensions: design, evaluation, computer-mediated communication, th

通用設計學習（Universal Design for Learning，簡稱UDL） 提供了一個兼顧彈性與包容性的教學思維，強調在課程設計之初即納入學習者差異，透過多元的表徵方式、行動與表達方式，以及參與動機的支持，降低學習上的障礙、提升所有幼兒的學習可近性。 《學前教室中的通用設計學習》聚焦在如何主動設計適用於學前階段至三年級教室中足夠彈性的課堂教學、學習環境和評量方式，以確保教師能滿足所有學生的需求。盼望本書能作為學前教育專業人員、師資培育者與研究者之間的共同語言，協助學前教師在實務操作上建立更清楚的脈絡與行動指引，使UDL不再停留於理念層次，並成為支持每一位幼兒學習與發展的實用指南。

數位時代的攝影師聖經，AI時代重大修訂在人人都有強大拍攝科技的時代，培養真正的影像判斷力如果說當今的影像世界有什麼明顯改變，那應該不是畫質更高、設備更先進，而是影像創作變得太過容易。拍照幾乎沒有門檻，甚至不需要相機——人工智慧可以在幾秒內生成一幅看似完美的畫面。當「製造影像」已如此輕而易舉，真正稀缺且有價值的，其實是，我們是否還有能力看出影像的力量從何而來？ 這正是本書核心：攝影不只是紀錄，更是一種視覺設計。決定作品出不出色的，在於拍攝者是否適切安排觀者的視線、控制畫面的重心、建立或打破平衡，甚至決定情緒的節奏。這些看似自然出現的效果，其實都有其設計原理，而且不但都能找到方法理解、學習，也正是區分「AI生成的影像」與「人類建構的影像」的關鍵所在，而這正是作者大規模修訂這本經典的出發點。他深信，在影像太容易生成的年代，能夠以某種手法，將相同場景拍成與眾不同、出乎意料的畫面，是比攝影史上任何時期都更受重視的價值。那麼具體上，視覺風格要如何建構？麥可‧弗里曼透過大量作品，一步步拆解我們拍照時往往忽略的設計層面：— 線條與形狀如何建立秩序— 重心與平衡如何產生張力— 框架與裁切如何引導觀看— 前景與空間如何創造深度— 節奏與對比如何形塑氛圍這些，都能讓影像具有獨屬於人的「創造性」，——讓拍攝者在面對相同場景時，拍出與他人截然不同的特性與意圖，而不只是複製現實。也正是在這個層面上，《攝影師之眼》更像是在建立觀看的素養，一種面對任何影像時，都能拆解其結構、看出其意圖的能力。這也正是為什麼，在過去十多年間，當大量攝影書隨著器材更新與潮流更迭逐漸退場時，《攝影師之眼》仍被學者與教學體系反覆使用。本書所處理的，不是攝影的表層技術，而是影像思考的基礎層次。無論工具如何改變，這一層始終不會過時。在影像愈來愈容易生成的今天，這些能力不只是創作的基礎，更是一種理解世界的方式。《攝影師之眼》所提供的，不只是拍照的方法，而是關於如何觀看、如何判斷，以及如何在影像之中建立意義。
