一本具啟發性的地理學研究入門書～本書強調地理／環境研究的質性與量化方法的互補、跨學科取徑、以及研究倫理與田野實踐的關鍵議題；為探究一地或區域社會、經濟、環境等空間議題的學生或新手，提供清晰的方法、方法論框架與實例導引。國立臺灣大學地理環境資源學系 特聘教授 簡旭伸國立彰化師範大學地理學系特聘教授兼研發長　宋郁玲聯合推薦 臺灣近三十年的課程改革、社區行動、高教轉型的社會網络中，地理學已成為連結地方社會實踐與環境知識生產的核心知識學門。兼具自然環境、人文社會、空間技術的地理學，可說是引領思考人類世環境挑戰的尖兵，也是培養跨領域人才與深化地方實作的行動知識處方。 本書作者從「一片海灘」開始，藉由各種哲學理論和問題，引導學習者思考與發問，以方法和方法論貫穿本書內容。當前的氣候變遷與風險、地缘政治、生態系統、人文社會生態，乃至於人與環境互動的多層次議題，無一不建構在現實、現象以及複雜系統之上，需要探究者對所採取的理論和方法論有所洞悉與掌握。 本書正是這樣的一本書，帶領學習者從實證主義到複雜體系逐一剖析研究思考的理路與實踐的樣貌，體現研究的方法、理論、方法論，以利思考連結研究對象的現實與抽象概念之間的關係。 本書共有十章：第一章以「海灘是什麼?」介紹基本哲學概念，勾勒地理學的各種發問及其知識生產。第二章至第八章 以「哲學─理論─方法論」連結，透過以下方式來闡述其關係：1.提供適當的論文為參考，協助學習者把看似抽象的研究轉化成研究實踐的知能。2.每章均以練習题，提供學生透過閱讀思考，來檢驗其學習。3.各章以所議的觀點，說明一片海灘的相應研究問題，落實對問題與理論的暸解。第九章至第十章 涵蓋研究的道德哲學與倫理學、地理研究的議題，以及研究實踐對地理知識生產建構之意義。 本書引導學生在閱讀中與課堂學習中，培養紮實的知識，激勵其思考地理環境議題，增進其邏輯思考訓練和洞察環境世界的能力。

GET THE TOOLS AND KNOW-HOW THAT MAKE ROI MORE THAN JUST A NUMBER"Ron does such a great job answering the question that has baffl ed many learning professionals for years: How do we measure and demonstrate the value of training. Applying his methodology of ROI is inspiring in that the exercise helps to translate training activities into improved performance and, ultimately, tangible business outcomes, rather than mere calculation of numbers."— JUDY FENG, Director, Talent Management, Baxter Asia Pacific"Those who have criticized ROI will be pleased with Stone’s ROI Quality Analysis (RQA). HR directors and training managers will benefit from implementing this credible technique, and Stone's 'secret sauce ingredients' allow instructional designers to serve up a five-star training program."— STEPHANIE MOOSHEGIAN, Ph.D., Chair, Saint Louis University's Organizational Studies Program"Loaded with robust and practical methodologies, templates, and proven tools, The Real Value of Training master

For many people, having a large family isn’t a reasonable option. Fortunately, medical science has ushered in a new era of family balancing where couples can determine their baby's gender. The Revolutionary Science of Sex Selection guides prospective parents step-by-step through the maze of options currently available — from the unpredictable (and now outdated) timing method, to highly effective sperm sorting, to the preimplantation genetic diagnosis, which guarantees accuracy.The author describes the most advanced methodologies in simple lay terms so that they are easily understood. But The Revolutionary Science of Sex Selection does more than explain how the technology works — it prepares the reader for the personal experience of fertility drugs, artificial insemination, and/or in vitro fertilization. A bonus chapter details the added medical benefits of genetic testing, including preimplantation screening for single gene defects like cystic fibrosis, B thalassemia, Tay-Sachs disease
