Basic Structures of Reality

The return of Macao from the Portuguese administration to the People's Republic of China (PRC) in 1999 marks the beginning of its transformation in the 21st century. Macao was confronted with various issues concerning then existing political system, economic downturn and gangland violence during the transition period. Beijing put Macao under the "One country, Two Systems" and implemented a wide variety of measures in order to restore its law and order as well as to recover its tourism dependent economy. Gradually, Macao transformed itself to "Las Vegas of the East". This volume of 18 essays highlights the key dimensions of Macao's remarkable "One country, Two Systems" actualisation experience in its first 15 years, and discusses how Macao transformed and what challenges it encountered during its post-handover transformation. The volume has several focuses. It first investigates the political and electoral issues in a critical manner─ post-handover Macao suffered from maladministratio

Over the years auditing has developed into a specialised function with complex ethical, legal and economic implications. The role of auditors in providing credibility is even more important in a society like Hong Kong, which relies heavily on its reputation as an international financial and business centre. The financial crises and accounting scandals reported in recent years, which led to economic meltdowns and massive loss in capital resources across the globe, highlights the vital role of auditors as gatekeepers and the importance of high quality auditing in ensuring corporate transparency and honest financial reporting. The third edition is thoroughly revised to take into account the new Companies Ordinance (Chapter 622, effective 2014) and Hong Kong Standards on Quality Control, Auditing, Assurance and Related Services (updated June 2014), and numerous developments of a full range of auditing topics since the previous edition, including: - Auditor's legal duties and liabilities

This collection of essays brings literature and visual arts together, as their aesthetics come to complete each other. 本書特色 A collection of essays that explores the intricate relationships between literature and art, bringing new insights into famous writers such as Henry James and Virginia Woolfe.

This historical fiction is based on the true story of Li Shimin (also known as Tang Taizong), the greatest sovereign in Chinese history. About 30 years younger than Muhammad, he grew up in a world of devastating upheaval that tore China asunder and was thrust into the role of a military commander in his father’s rebel army while still a teenager. In the process of vanquishing his enemies on the battlefield, he proved himself to be a great military genius. As emperor he encouraged critical suggestions by his court officials, which he often adopted, and lent support to the religions of his day, notably, Buddhism, Daoism, and Christianity. The international prestige he had won for Tang China was so high that the states of Central and North Asia honored him with the title of “Heavenly Khan.” Although his father founded the dynasty, it was his reign that laid the groundwork for a brilliant empire that was to endure for centuries. 本書根據史實，描述唐太宗李世民透過一場場的征戰，消滅敵軍，開疆闢土；同時鼓勵諫言，包容不同宗教，進而成就唐代偉大盛世

The role of media in any society is vital and is closely related to brands and consumption especially in a vibrant 21st century Asian city. Hong Kong with its free-market economy and urban bustle is a perfect place to observe this in action. But Hong Kong is also deeply conservative in many ways especially with regard to family values, and the presence of overtly sexualized images in advertising sits uncomfortably with the values of modesty and traditional sexual mores that exist there. Young girls are also discovering their identities like any other groups of girls in the world, and often this journey will not be easy. This book deals with media and the extent to which media representations influence girls in Hong Kong and how they are affected by this ubiquitous presence. Through the quantitative and qualitative studies, readers could examine and understand how tween girls and teen girls in Hong Kong interact with the media and how they interpret the messages from the media. The ob

On May 3, 1975, Hong Kong received its first cohort of 3,743 Vietnamese boatpeople. The incident opened a 25-year history that belongs to a larger context of forced migration in modern social history. By researching all possible textual material available

There is a growing trend in virtual world commercial transactions. In order to protect people’s rights in the virtual world and keep pace with innovative trading demands, it is essential for us to understand the commercial implications of virtual world economies by evaluating the effectiveness of the existing laws, practices, and policies in business, technology, intellectual property and related fields. This book, in 11 sections, investigates the issues and opportunities associated with commercial transactions in the virtual world. In 29 detailed essays, this book analyses every facet of virtual world transactions, including the nature of virtual commercial transactions, virtual goods and services, transfer of virtual property, issues of negotiable instruments, remedies for buyers and sellers in the virtual world, consumer protection, dispute resolution and other related topics. Each of these sections both contributes to and advances the field of commercial law and related discipline

Self-Access Language Learning (SALL) has played a prominent part in language education in universities. Its role is to foster autonomous learning among students. With the wide-spread implementation of SALL and its increasing impacts on students, it is important to understand how SALL is managed in order to meet the learning needs of the users in the most resource-effective way. This book provides readers with an understanding of SALL management by setting the discussion against a wider backdrop and also examining details of current good practice. The authors examine issues of leadership and management in education before turning to look at the roles of a SALL manager, and suggest how these roles are changing and what the future may hold for managing SALL. Case studies are used to illustrate how SALL is managed in different universities as a way of contextualising the issues discussed in the book. The book is of relevance to institutional and departmental managers, classroom-based lan

Books about cities can open pathways to discover new places, and familiar places anew. Hong Kong is a much visited place. Over 50 million people stream through its hotels, restaurants and shopping malls each year. That is a lot of first impressions! This book, written by fourteen reflective scholars about living and learning from Hong Kong, builds on the growing interest of using “place” as text while providing a model of deepening cross-cultural encounters. Each chapter is written in a personal and experiential style, exploring Hong Kong through the lenses of a range of disciplines that shaped individual author's perceptions and encounters. The city is like a text one reads and deciphers, linking one’s sense of other cities with one’s present experiences of this city in this moment of time. In reading the city, readers discover not only what is “out there” in the ever moving surround of Hong Kong’s urban life, but also what is inside oneself as newcomer and as from another city and

Just hope your house is not *bugged. 據我所知，他們總是能比司法部搶先一步，但願你的房子沒被監聽。 Jasmine：Oh, I never pay attention to Hal’s business affairs.

I'm a failure. I always have the feeling that I want to get back somewhere, but I don't know just where it is. 我感到失意。我心裡一直渴望能有個回歸的地方，卻遍尋不著。─O Henry. Love and business and family and religion and art and patriotism are nothing but shadows of words when a man's starving! 愛情、事業、家庭、信仰、藝術或是愛國情操，在飢餓的面前，不過是文字浮影罷了。 歐．亨利（O. Henry）是美國知名的短篇小說作家，與契訶夫和莫泊桑並列世界三大短篇小說巨匠。歐．亨利著作豐富，一生中留下了一部長篇小說和近三百篇的短篇小說。其小說內容主要以美國的大城市生活（尤其是紐約）為背景，主人翁以中下階層的平凡老百姓為主，場景涵蓋公寓、酒館、劇院、公園等，常自詡為「四百萬」個小市民之一，而非「四百」個富翁之一，寫出金錢社會裡的小市民心聲。 歐亨利的寫作手法誇張、幽默、詭異，他善於捕捉細微的生活場景，描述人物的喜怒哀樂。其筆下的商人、強盜、警察、流浪漢，無不栩栩如生、愛恨分明。他以幽默的筆法化解筆下人物的悲情，用「含淚微笑」的方式嘲諷當時的資本主義社會，更加深其作品的社會意義。 歐亨利小說的最大特色，在於其「出人意表的結局」，即所謂的「歐亨利手法」。其小說之起承轉合，層次分明，情節則一路巧妙安排，極富戲劇性，往往發展到最後，便筆鋒一轉，令人啼笑皆非。這種寫作手法同時影響美國文壇甚巨。 本書自歐亨利的三百多篇短篇佳作之中，精選最膾炙人口的15篇，包含〈聖誕禮物〉、〈最後一片藤葉〉、〈警察與讚美詩〉及〈命運之路〉等，帶您一窺其獨樹一格、幽默深刻的小說世界。 1. The Last Leaf（最後一片藤葉） 2. The Gift of the Magi（聖誕禮物） 3. The Cop and the Anthem（警察與讚美詩） 4. The Romance of a Busy Broker（忙碌證券商的愛情故事） 5. The Love-Philtre of Ikey Schoenstein（愛情迷幻藥） 6. Sprin

The book provides guidelines and practical creative exercises which equip creative-major students in early semesters as well as creative practitioners with fundamental knowledge on creation methods. Combination of functionality, simplicity and aesthetics in modern design is considered a fundamental design principle in the Bauhaus School in Germany,and, inspired by the School, the creative handcrafting exercises and the concepts introduced in this book are primarily coherent with this principle. The book draws a direction between two and three dimensional material-based design and modern digital creation process. The first part of the book introduces various creative handcrafting exerciseson proportion, geometry and modularity, among other fundamental design principles. The creative exercises will sensitise students on aesthetical and structural issues, and thus serve as an essential building block for application of the design principles to computer-based creative processes, which ar

Animal Farm, published in 1945, is a satirical novel by British novelist and essayist George Orwell (1903-1950), pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair. Orwell is best known for Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). As a socialist, he was a keen critic of imperialism, fascism, Stalinism, and capitalism. His works are concerned with the sociopolitical conditions of his time. Animal Farm, with great critical and popular success, is a witty, satirical allegory about the failure of Soviet totalitarianism. Some events in the book are based on events from the Soviet Union during the Stalin era. This novel is ostensibly about a group of animals who oust the humans from the farm and run it themselves, only to have it corrupted into a brutal tyranny on its own. This idea of a revolution betraying its supposed aims is a chief issue of Animal Farm. 【故事簡介】 No animal must ever tyrannise over his own kind. Weak or strong, clever or simple, we are all brothers. No animal must ever kill any other anim

Since the appearance of Roads Range Far: Selected Poems of Bai Chuan (道路遠近：白川詩選) in its original native language, there has been a demand for a serious attempt to transform its international outlook into an international readership. In response to this, the present English edition offers not a slavish translation. Instead, there is perhaps a true sense of creative effort, to say nothing of the venture itself being a rich and rewarding experience.

Agriculture builds upon the integration of crops and the environment, with which its yield depends strongly on a healthy soil foundation. With that in mind, the knowledge of the soil and fertilizer is crucial to maintaining an environment with optimal nutrients, water and oxygen for crop production. Soil is one of human's precious resources, the protection and nurturing of our soil is thus an integral part of sustainable development. Effective soil management is considered not only a technology, but also an art. In practice, to make use the full potential of the land, the management strategies need to take account of the differences and characteristics of the soil, plant and climate that are unique to each geographical location. Such an approach is increasingly more important nowadays because of the increasing loss of cultivable land and need of high quality agricultural products.

Tsering Woeser and Wang Lixiong are widely regarded as the most lucid, insightful writers on contemporary Tibet. Their reportage on the economic exploitation, environmental degradation, cultural destruction and political subjugation that plague the increasingly Han Chinese-dominated Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) is as powerful as it is profound, ardent and analytical in equal measure, and not in the least bit ideological. Voices from Tibet assembles essays and reportage in translation that capture many facets of the upheavals wrought by a rising China upon a sacred land and its pious people. With the TAR in a virtual lockdown after the 2008 unrest, this book sheds important light on the simmering frustrations that touched off the unrest and Beijing's relentless control tactics in its wake. The authors also interrogate long-standing assumptions about the Tibetans' political future. Woeser's and Wang's writings represent a rare Chinese view sympathetic to Tibetan causes. Their powe

在這裡，表演者 (Performer) 就是行者，行動中人，修行人，譬如教士、戰士或智者。葛羅托斯基的〈表演者〉這篇宣言，乃至整個「藝乘」，其宗旨可以古儒橫渠先生的四句真言來覆頌︰ 一、為天地立心︰這個心就是「覺性」，六祖慧能說的「自性」，《奧義書》上說的「旁觀的鳥」，亦即藏密或多瑪斯福音所傳的「動即靜」。 二、為生民立命︰命就是「過程」，從不知不覺地活著──其特徵即自以為是「醒著」──到中夜覺寤的過程。你的行住坐臥不要違背這個「過程」，有一天就會真的醒過來。 三、為往聖繼絕學︰對葛氏而言，往聖就是史坦尼斯拉夫斯基、拉曼拿尊者、孟買大君、愛克哈特等等。他們都在自己的時空場域宣說︰醒來。然而，道成之後也多成了絕學。 四、為萬世開太平︰什麼萬世？什麼太平？啊，當下（「覺性」）即是，你就是 (That Thou Art)！ 當然，《藝乘三部曲︰覺性如何圓滿？》這本小書不是為古人加註，而是以藝乘核心的「身體行動方法」 (Method of Physical Actions) 來劍及履及，教現實成為理想，理念化作實相。

Professor William S-Y. Wang is among the most influential contemporary linguists. For several decades, he has been leading the development of Chinese Linguistics to a higher level. Professor Wang established the famous theory of lexical diffusion, advocating an evolutionary perspective and interdisciplinary methods for research on language and linguistics. His writings have appeared in handbooks, textbooks, encyclopedias, numerous technical journals, and have been translated into several languages. On the occasion of his 80th birthday, numerous pupils and colleagues of Professor Wang come together for the compilation of the Festschrift to pay tribute to him. The Festschrift has over sixty contributions by scholars from Mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, East Asia, North America and Europe, partitioned in Chinese and English volumes. Authors are active in areas of various linguistic frontiers, investigating language and linguistics from an interdisciplinary perspective. Most of the con

Punctuated by a string of "surprising events" and even alarming incidents in the crucial "sunset era" of Donald Tsang, the second Chief Executive of the Hong Kong SAR, how shall we rate Tsang's performance during this 7-year term? This weighty monograph offers an authoritative academic critique of the HKSAR Government’s performance in various policy areas and state–society interactive topical dimensions under the Tsang years from 2005 to 2012. By inviting contributions from a number of scholars specialising in different research disciplines, the volume in 18 chapters covers a lot of key issues and public policy areas that constitute a very rich combination of analytical narratives from multi-disciplinary perspectives. The massive coverage of this book, while exemplifying the criticality of Tsang's era when handling challenges of these aspects, will provide readers with a thorough assessment of the government during the Tsang years in a broader comparative context and on a contemporar

為什麼有趣的數學，會變成無趣的科目，讓許多學生討厭、害怕？ 這本薄薄的小書，用最簡潔的方式描述數學之美與樂趣所在，並且批判今日僵化的數學教育（背公式、大量的習題），忽略了帶領學生思考問題的過程：然而，正是在對數學的思考當中，人才是活著的，孩子的心智會打開，主動產生興趣。 本書對於美國K-12（從幼稚園到十二年級）的數學教育做出了強烈的批判，然而在台灣，問題也是一樣嚴重。我們本來可以給孩子更好的數學體驗，讓他們喜歡上數學，有好奇心，這全看我們怎麼教。只要那一點點的改變。 作者是一位傑出的數學家，他發願來教中小學的數學，希望呈現給孩子們數學的趣味、和充滿想像力的一面，因為： 數學是一門藝術，重要的是過程，是遊戲，是玩，是去做。 因此他非常批判「死記硬背」、「給答案」、「省略思考過程」的教學方式。 他於2002年寫成本書的初稿，只有薄薄的25頁，然而在史丹佛大學的齊斯．德福林教授的推薦下，於美國數學協會（Mathematical Association of America）的網誌上發布後，在數學社群中引起極大的迴響，因而出版成書。 如何尋回數學課堂上的遊戲與歡樂？如何領略數學之美？ 這本書，既是為孩子抱不平，也為數學這門偉大的藝術平反。本書可帶領孩子們認識數學具有創意、想像力的一面，也讓成年人重新發現——數學的樂趣。 【專業推薦】 ◎洪萬生（臺灣師範大學數學系退休教授） ◎鄭國威（PanSci泛科學總編輯） ◎何琦瑜（《親子天下》總編輯） 【好評推薦】 「這是我所見過，對於目前的數學教育最棒的評論之一。」 ——齊斯．德福林（Keith Devlin），史丹佛大學人文科學與先端科技研究中心共同創辦人，《數學的語言》（商周）作者 「作者寫出了很重要、很平易近人的悲嘆與狂喜。他哀嘆的是今天數學教育的現狀；而他也熱切盼望老師們能得到鼓舞，帶領學生們體驗數學裡頭十分刺激的『概念的詩意』，而且真的是如此。」 ——貝利‧馬祖爾（Barry Mazur )，哈佛大學校聘數學教授 「本書的論述精妙，任何對數學教育有興趣的人都應該要讀。我保證他們會喜歡這個閱讀經驗，不論他們是否完全同意拉克哈特所寫的內容。」 ——布萊恩‧邦區（Bryan Bunch)，《The Kingdom of Infinite Number》作者 「這本關於數學的簡短又中肯的小書，對你我當初學

◆全球暢銷60萬冊的當責經典 ◆《紐約時報》暢銷書 把「那不是我的工作」「告訴我該怎麼做」當成口頭禪，找人抱怨博取同情、頻頻訴苦尋求慰藉，以為四處取暖，就能逃避責任、推卸責任—— 其實，這就是陷入了「被害者循環」。 一本書，讓人即刻起脫離抱怨、否認、怪罪、等待的被害者循環，採取正視現實、承擔責任、解決問題、著手完成的當責步驟，交出成果、達成目標！ 【精采內容】 本書以《綠野仙蹤》（The Wizard of Oz）為架構，透過女主角桃樂絲遇見稻草人、錫樵夫、膽小獅，帶領大家踏上「黃磚道」尋找魔法師奧茲（The Great Oz）的旅程，說明如何擺脫「被害者循環」（victim cycle），為自己的際遇負責。 故事最後，稻草人終於擁有渴求的腦子（智慧）、錫樵夫獲得一顆心（熱情）、膽小獅得到勇氣，而女主角桃樂絲是引導大家脫離被害者循環、激勵同伴走上當責步驟的領導者。 而這一切，並非魔法師奧茲施法，而是每個人發自內心、願意為自己的際遇做主；並且發揮智慧、熱情和勇氣，採取正視現實、承擔責任、解決問題、著手完成的當責步驟，最後終能交出成果、達成目標，而這就是奧茲法則（The Oz Principle）。 本書巧妙運用《綠野仙蹤》做為隱喻，將稻草人、錫樵夫、膽小獅，還有帶領同伴們一起努力達成目標的領導者桃樂絲，比喻為組織或團隊裡形形色色的工作者。說明如何讓組織裡缺乏智慧、熱情或勇氣的成員們，脫離避責、卸責的被害者循環，邁向當責之路。 此外，作者不僅藉由《綠野仙蹤》的故事，讓讀者了解智慧、熱情、勇氣對於當責的重要；他們也在書中運用輔導企業邁向當責之路的實際案例，鼓勵讀者進一步為自己的思想、感受、行動與結果負責；如此一來，不僅有助於自我成長，也能讓所屬的組織朝向更高的層次邁進。 當責，是公司文化的核心要素，只要組織裡的每個人都能採取當責步驟、在水平線上運作，就可以達成目標、美夢成真。如同《綠野仙蹤》裡的桃樂絲和她的同伴一樣，在沿著黃磚道前往翡翠城的旅途中，克服重重難關，最後交出成果、達成目標，每個人也因此發現自己的確擁有胸懷大志、築夢踏實的能力！ 當責，從停止抱怨開始——克服被害者心態、脫離被害者循環，進而走上當責步驟， 才能掌握自己的命運以及所屬組織的未來。 一本書，讓人學會做自己的主人——家庭缺乏溫暖、老天沒眼、景氣太差，再也不是避責、卸責的藉口，交出

Democracy on Trial is an attempt to begin to negotiate the problem of writing about and understanding democracy and social movements in Taiwan, and what they can tell us about a place and country that for me is both home and the field, an object of study and yet also an area of hope and engagement.

九型人格（Enneagram of Personality，或Enneagram），或稱作九柱性格學，是一種性格標籤型分類，把人的性格分成九大類。 九型人格讓大眾可藉由這九種不同的分類去定位自己，了解自己並且提升自己。同時，也可以用在人際關係的交流上，知道了與您交際的對象是哪一型之後，您便能善加利用，不用怕與人相處時碰到釘子，因為您可以盡量避免那些會造成雙方誤會或困窘的情形。 而此種人格分類法被普遍用於領導統御、忠誠考驗、自我成長、人際關係、商業談判以及市場推廣等領域，近年來還成為美國TOP5明星級史丹佛大學商學院的必修課程，同時也是美國中央情報局（CIA）使用的識人秘訣，包括世界500大企業(SONY、P&G、Apple、HP、Nokia、Citibank、GM)都在用的管理者與員工內部訓練指定教材。 本書囊括了最完整且詳細的九型人格分析，不但鉅細靡遺剖析這九種性格，更舉例出代表人物與代表國家，如果你是某一型，你要如何改善缺點、提升自我；如果你的朋友或同事，甚至是上司是某一型，你又該如何跟他相處，你不知道的廣大九型人格秘密通通都在本書裡。

本書邀請法國巴黎高等社會科學院(L’Ecole des hautes etudes en sciences sociales) 藝術與語言研究中心(Centre de recherches sur les arts et le langage)的Philippe Roussin、法國圖爾大學(Universite Francois-Rabelais de Tours, France)的John Pier、紐約讓．傑學院哲學系(Department of Philosophy, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, The City University of New York, NYC, USA)的Kyoo Lee，及台北的黃筱慧、陳學毅、陳界華與陶嘉代，深入研究哲學的詮釋學、敘事學與符號學之相關文本，以外文與中文對應的方式編輯出版。書中文本針對哲學的詮釋學視野下的敘事研究、喻的研究、敘事的形構，與擬仿與擬前之物的探究，提供極具研究參考價值的文本。 本書特色 1.廣納哲學研究者的精采論述，涵括台灣、紐約及法國作品，為哲學開啟更廣闊的視野。 2.切入哲學的多元解讀面向，較以往研究更具可讀性。

一位台灣女性外文學者／雙語知識分子，秉持文學與文化使命感，從跨國的角度鑽研華美作家以英文或中文發表的代表性文本。以離散為視角，關注式的閱讀為方法；結合理論、歷史與文本交織出這些作品的文學與美學價值，為華文世界的亞美／華美（文學）研究再創新猷，意義非比尋常。 本書特色 1. 台灣第一本專注於華美女作家的中文專書，並與廣闊的中文世界學者、讀者 分享。 2. 就族裔（華裔）、性別（女性）、職業（作家）而言，這些作品具有「三重弱勢或特性」，借用猶太民族的「離散」（diaspora）觀念，並將離散視為具有批判性、生產性、創造性的空間，以此檢視美國華裔女作家的創作。 3. 在方法上，標舉「關注式的閱讀」（attentive reading），強調亞美文學應擺脫 早期局限於政治或社會的角度，而應正視其文學與藝術價值，以此審視進而肯定其藝術價與地位。 4. 就語文而言，本書討論對象除了一般認定的華裔美國文學，也包含了從台灣、 中國、新馬等地移居美國，以英文或華文創作的作家，這點符合了「多語文的美國文學」（Languages of What Is Now the United States）的論點，也呼應了亞美研究中有遠見的歷史學家與學者，如麥禮謙、市岡雄二、王靈智（L. Ling-chi Wang）、黃秀玲(Sau-ling Cynthia Wong）等人對於亞洲語言的重視。 5. 作者既掌握美國學界的論述，又善加利用台灣學者的發言位置與利基，針對 特定的華美女作家英文與華文文本進行細讀，具體而微地展現了越界的觀點，以及跨國與跨太平洋的眼界，有效地拓展了亞美／華美（文學）研究的視野。

《淮南子韻讀及校勘》是劉殿爵先生晚年的力作，繼清儒王念孫《淮南子韻譜》之後，此書是最精確的韻讀研究。校勘部分兼採諸家異說，提出獨到的見解，尤其精采。今後此書必將成為討論西漢楚語的堅實基礎，同時更是了解漢初思想史的重要依據。――丁邦新，中央研究院院士 D. C. Lau was, at the time of his passing in 2010, one of the world’s greatest scholars of classical Chinese philosophy. Long renowned for his translations of the Laozi, the Analects and the Mencius, and the Founding Editor for the CHANT series of critical texts and concordances, Lau was also a devotee of the Huainanzi. But during his long scholarly career he was only able to publish one article of textual notes in 1968 and the translation of the first chapter of the HNZ with Roger Ames, Yuan Dao: Tracing Dao to Its Source. This publication of his meticulous notes on the rhymes and textual criticism of the HNZ represents a heretofore unknown gift of Professor Lau’s profound scholarship to the world of Chinese Studies.―Harold D. Roth, Professor of Chinese Religious Studies, Brown University In what is indeed a highly technical study, Professor D. C. Lau wields
