[名家名著] 33 無瑕的程式碼 函數式設計篇：原則、模式與實踐 Functional Design: Principles, Patterns, and Practices ❝乍看之下，物件導向和函數式這兩種範式似乎互不相容，一個強調資料抽象與封裝狀態，另一個則倡導不可變與純函數。事實上，即便兩者出發點不同，卻能在合適的脈絡下融為一體，互相補足，最終協助我們打造更強韌、更具表達力的軟體系統。對一位想要同時掌握物件導向與函數式思維的工程師來說，如何在日常工作中權衡並結合這兩種做法，正是本書所提出的關鍵挑戰與寶貴建議。❞ ────微軟最有價值專家(Microsoft MVP)｜本書譯者　張立顗(Poy Chang) ❝Uncle Bob精心展示了函數式設計，這是當今軟體開發中極為流行且高效的設計方式。透過深入的原則和實踐案例，本書不僅適合軟體開發者，也對任何追求卓越程式品質的專業人士都具有極高的實用價值。Uncle Bob的洞見和清晰的寫作風格使這本書成為了一本不可多得的學習資源。❞ ────博碩文化總編輯 & CEO CSM　陳錦輝(Simon) 一本精通函數式程式設計的實用指南，寫出更優雅、更整潔的程式碼！ 在本書中，世界級軟體開發傳奇大師、暢銷書《Clean Code》的作者Robert C. Martin(Uncle Bob)將深入解說，為何要使用函數式程式設計（functional programming），以及如何運用函數式設計來建置更符合實際需求的系統。Uncle Bob將比較傳統的物件導向程式設計(如Java)與函數式語言(如Clojure)所採用的結構，並指出各自的最佳應用場景。他將展示如何在不同的情境下，明智地選擇合適且合理的做法，來建置更優秀、更優雅的系統。 Uncle Bob不僅手法務實，他還將理論簡化，把重點放在「實戰」與「解決問題」的具體做法。透過簡單易懂的範例，開發者將發現，容易學習且語意豐富的Clojure語言，如何幫助他們提升程式碼的整潔度、品質、開發紀律與效率。Uncle Bob還將從函數式程式設計的角度，深入探討廣為人知的SOLID原則與「四人幫」設計模式，解釋這些模式對於函數式程式設計師的價值，並指導讀者如何利用它們來實現更卓越的成果。 【內容亮點】 ・理解函數式程式設計的基本概念：不可變性、持久性資料、遞迴、迭代、延遲

This book offers a fresh English interpretation of the ancient channels in Chinese medicine, drawing from some of its most authoritative historical texts. It focuses on the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon (Huáng Dì Nèi Jīng), written between 200–300 BCE and widely regarded as the cornerstone of modern Chinese medicine. By examining this revered text, the book provides a unique perspective on how the channels were originally conceptualized and how they have evolved over time. In addition to exploring the channels outlined in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon, the book offers a comparative analysis of ancient and modern interpretations, illuminating their continuity and transformation. It brings the earliest documented descriptions of these channels to life, offering readers a rare glimpse into the roots of Chinese medical theory. The book provides an in-depth examination of the Eight Extraordinary Vessels, moving beyond their brief mentions in the Yellow Emperor’s Inner Canon.

Eternal Transience, Enlightened Wisdom:Masterpieces of Buddhist Art contextualises thirtythree bronze statues and thangkas of deities and gurus in Tibetan Buddhism from Tibet, Nepal, Pakistan and Mongolia dating from the 6th–19th centuries.From an art historical perspective, these Himalayan masterpieces reflect an array of aesthetic and artistic traditions from neighbouring regions across the Indian subcontinent and Central Asia. The book provides a comprehensive analysis of the artworks’ iconography and material culture.As part of Buddhism’s eternal journey from India to the Himalayas, China and Japan, the religious icons and objects of daily religious practice remain a testament to the shifting cultures that have engaged with Buddhism over the millennia.Acknowledging such a state of transience highlights the enlightened wisdom of Tibetan Buddhism as portrayed through the various artworks.「如來一相：佛教藝術藏珍」展出藏傳佛教藝術品，包括銅像及唐卡。展品源自6至19世紀西藏、尼泊爾、巴基斯坦，甚至遠及蒙古。藝術史上，藏傳佛教藝術興於喜馬拉雅山脈一帶，承襲了印度次大陸及中亞地區的美

In 1992, while presenting at the World Futures Studies Federation course on International Development, I shifted my lecture from the typical rehearsed presentation on factors explaining maldevelopment to a real time unpacking/deconstruction of transportation futures. As I, we, worked through the analysis, alternatives organically emerged. The four levels were: first, the problem or the litany – congestion and pollution. Second the causes: too many cars and desire for more cars, rising incomes, traditional infrastructure that was not car flow friendly, among other factors. Third, the Big City outlook, westernization, and the "Los Angelization" of the planet. And fourth, West is best with cars as freedom, as individuality. We understood that the government would take a technical approach of creating flyovers and not the deeper required to rethink centre-periphery relations – to decentralize - to reimagine Bangkok as a walkable and green city. This led to a discussion on not just in

本書在自然與身體感受性的脈絡下，思考禮儀中的象徵在修身及教化中所扮演的關鍵地位。本書溯源到文化源頭的先秦、兩漢時期，說明自然節氣如何影響身體經驗，在對天道的體察中，從而形構物的象徵與身體隱喻。本書透過秦漢禮儀中象徵的細部分析，說明象徵符號與自我的形構、身心轉化，人我關係定義以及倫理的秩序有密不可分的關係。「象徵」既反映著自然風土與物之質性，同時也反映著不同的地方文化所形成的文化心理及身體經驗。修身與教化的理想在體察自然節氣和風土、透過象徵以調節人情中亦得到實踐。This book investigates the key role of symbolism in self-cultivation and moral education in the context of nature and bodily senses. Through detailed analysis of symbols in the etiquette of Qin and Han China, this book illustrates the inseparable relationship between symbolism and self-construction, transformation of body and mind, the definition of human-self relationship, and the order of ethics. “Symbol” not only reflects the landscapes and things, but also reflects the cultural psychology and physical experience formed by different local knowledge. The practice of self-cultivation and morality is also in the process of interpreting nature and regulating human sentiments through symbols.

Two leaders in the field offer a compelling analysis of the current state of the art and reveal the steps we must take to achieve a robust artificial intelligence that can make our lives better.“Finally, a book that tells us what AI is, what AI is not, and what AI could become if only we are ambitious and creative enough.” —Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion and author ofDeep ThinkingDespite the hype surrounding AI, creating an intelligence that rivals or exceeds human levels is far more complicated than we have been led to believe. Professors Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis have spent their careers at the forefront of AI research and have witnessed some of the greatest milestones in the field, but they argue that a computer beating a human in Jeopardy! does not signal that we are on the doorstep of fully autonomous cars or superintelligent machines. The achievements in the field thus far have occurred in closed systems with fixed sets of rules, and these approaches are too narro
