知識碎片化時代，必備之思考術、整理術、分析術、輸入術、產出術、創意術！一書在手，應用無窮！ ▍為什麼要進行「思維訓練」？能擁有思考力，幫助你正確設定問題，並且能提高你的產出力。能擁有分析力，使你能在遇到問題時，透過分析掌握問題的全貌。 針對思維訓練，作者花村太郎首先提出──「創造出思考空間的3步驟」步驟1：意識到思考是一種身體性的行為。步驟2：在與人對話的時候，積極地整理自己的思維。步驟3：透過「思考的筆記術」、「思考的場所術」等，做獨立思考的訓練。 接著提出「幫助產出的思考術」，例如：1．學習問有效的問題。2．思考實驗法：伽利略式推理、假設思考法。 ▍何謂「求知技術」？「求知」是指：「求取知識」、「知性鍛鍊」、「知識整理打包術」。作者關注「方法」，並提出「創造為主、整理為從」之求知技術──準備篇：知識產出與知性創造的必要基礎共八章。實踐篇：提升閱讀、思考、書寫能力的技術共十一章。 《思維訓練與求知技術》提供循序漸進的方法，萃取東方與西方的知識精髓，帶領你以「自學」方式，提升「思維與求知」能力。這本在日本長銷四十年的自學書，儘管來到AI時代，仍精巧好用，如作者所說：這本書並不是教大家怎麼變成專家學者，變成所謂的知識分子、文化人的入門書。而是希望能讓大家更自覺性、更聰明地去看待世界、時代與自己的人生，正視自己對於「知」的渴望！ ▍思考（提出疑問與分析），以及求知（輸入與產出），不能只是空想，需要的是「技術」！本書提出五大學習原則：1．創造為主，整理為從。2．打造名符其實的知性風格。3．立志成為獨立自主的求知職人。4．要關注的是「方法」。5．從初階的資訊處理，進階到理解思想、創造思想。

探討流行、潮流趨勢的發展，先從化妝品的歷史先說起，讓我們回溯過去千百年，看看存放著人們在追求美時所用到的器物的梳?檯上，經歷過怎樣從無到有的更迭蛻變。他們又是如何在對鏡梳妝時、拿起放下間創造出絕代風華。而盛極一時的潮流難逃被一一替代的結果，再好的化妝品也會變質腐壞，連人的容貌也難逃「色衰而愛馳」的考驗。凡此種種，唯獨這裡面包含著的對美的追求將永不褪色。即使歷史不斷向前，那些創造美的歷程依舊值得我們深情凝望。 流行趨勢的存在價值遠不是因為它能夠成就大多數人的美貌，而是它能夠在我們清楚地瞭解到我們自身的容貌後，為我們能夠更好地揚長避短提供更多參考借鑒，讓我們大多數人都了然哪一點是適合自己才是最好的。在這種情況下，我們能夠清楚地認知辨識自己的容貌顯得尤為關鍵。其中，關於化妝品與膚色兩者間的契合度的討論成為了這本書研究的課題。 被濾鏡裹挾的審美，讓人們在千百年中，對尋找完美的妝容，孜孜不倦。

原住民族法律彙編 阿美族語:1987 年提出《原住民族權利基本法草案》以來歷經 18 年終於在 2005 年 1 月通過立法，當年 12 月出版阿美族語版的《原住民族基本法》，爾後陸續制定專法保障原住民族的基本權利。法律條文對一般人來說艱澀難懂，每一部法律的性質，都有它的專業性，條文結構與文字極為嚴謹，內容縝密邏輯環環相扣，不是一般非法律人所能容易解讀。因此，希望將法律族語化用自己的語言去瞭解法律，進而保障自身權益和民族權利。法律族語化更是一個新文化創造的起點，讓我們能有一個全新的眼光面對自己的未來，啟動民族的能動性。 在翻譯的過程中遇到許多阿美語和中文無法對應的詞彙，儘量少用直譯，因為直譯是給懂中文的人看的，既然是要用母語理解法律，就得使用部落的慣用語，才能正確把握原文的意義，傳遞真實的信息給讀者，這是沒得商量的堅持。 文末附加詞彙索引，除了方便讀者查閱，增加閱讀的理解之外，這些文字化的工作，希望能拋磚引玉推動全族人儲存大量的文字，才能夠因應 AI 時代的需求。
