十九世紀三度出任英國外相的帕默斯頓爵士（Lord Palmerston, 1784-1865）在國際現勢舞台上，曾留下一句震古鑠金的名言：「我們沒有永恆的盟友，我們也沒有永久的敵人；我們的利益才是永恆的、永久的，而我們的責任即是去追求那些利益。」（We have no eternal allies and we have no perpetual enemies. Our interests are eternal and perpetual, and those interests it is our duty to follow）。這句話不僅反映出國際舞台爾虞我詐之現象，更對各國外交行為之影響既深且鉅；事實上，在現實主義學派的分析中，迄今仍有許多國家將帕氏名言奉為圭臬，奉行不渝。 美國學者杭廷頓（Samuel P. Huntington）曾指出，冷戰結束後，或許世人將面臨更多的傳統戰爭，而亞洲可能是後冷戰（post - Cold War）時期最有可能爆發區域衝突的地區。不少當代現實主義學者認為，在後冷戰時期由於中共日益蓬勃發展的經濟實力加上逐漸茁壯的軍力，值東亞區域權力版圖更替、重整之際，可能會在此區域發生強權間的衝突與紛爭，將對東亞區域安全產生不容小覷之影響。坦誠而言，上述這種擔心與顧慮是其來有自的；因為，近年來亞洲地區似乎處於多事之秋，時有紛爭與衝突之發生。 台海兩岸自一九四九年分裂分治以降，經歷兵戎相見、緊張、對峙、緩和對抗、互相開放民間探親、旅遊與投資等階段。儘管，民間的熱絡交流此起彼落，唯官方之交流仍未見起色。往昔，許多國內、外的政治家與學者均認為台海地區係二十一世紀最危險的地區之一。例如，美國「2012年中共軍事與安全發展」報告強調，中共對軍軍事現代化之推展向來不遺餘力，舉凡陸軍、海軍、空軍與二砲都在積極進行現代化作為。目前，中國大陸推動「改革開放」政策，促成經濟蓬勃發展，而受到全球引領翹望之際，各國國際關係學者認為中共近年來推動軍事現代化所獲得的成果不容小覷；而且，中共軍力逐漸壯大，亦使歐美各國日益感到疑慮與不安。未來中國軍力有可能超越美國，中國極可能遭到美國及其盟邦所形成的圍堵；此外，未來情勢日益緊張的亞洲，雖中共軍力的擴張未完全改變國際權力結構，卻對亞太地區權力格局造成不少衝擊。而且，我國防部「101年中共軍力報告書」指出，兩岸雖然

綜觀人類文明，水利知識技術的運用實為沈默但卻重要的科學技術。在當代科技社會中，世人能清楚明白水利工程技術的營建方法與原理，也可從科學家與工程師的規劃中一窺美好未來的藍圖，然而卻難以掌握工程技術背後的社會性、科技風險與衝擊。同時，水利科技並非只關乎科技技術本身，亦與全球環境變遷、在地知識、公民參與、科技風險相互交織為緊密且相互影響的科技權力網路。本書在工程學者、氣候學家、社會學家對談下，以臺灣水利資源現況、政策與風險為主軸，剖析科學知識、科技技術、社會論述、風險協商多組的競合關係，進而探索科學知識與科技技術內部的社會性，也可窺究科學知識與科技技術對於社會影響與衝擊。在跨領域的討論下，引導閱讀者進入科技與社會（Science, Technology and Society, STS）領域，瞭解臺灣水資源的技術與生活政治。

土耳其是一個橫跨歐亞兩洲的國家，自古以來就是連結東西方的橋樑。歷經三個古帝國，浸漬於東西文明的十字路口，處處皆是希臘、羅馬、基督教、伊斯蘭教等留下的遺跡。共有十一處登錄為世界遺產，本書僅就參訪的四處：伊斯坦堡歷史區域（Historic Areas of Istanbul）、番紅花城（City of Safranbolu）、哈圖沙西臺帝國遺址（Hattusha: the Hittite Capital）、哥樂美國家公園及卡帕多奇亞岩洞遺址（Goreme National Park and the Rock Sites of Cappadocia）作敘述。

Competition is Fierce, 2013 Taiwanese Industry Expects Transition Global economy, surviving from the impact of the previous financial crisis, is now presenting a slow-to-moderate growth rate in 2013. Taiwan is now facing the pressure from regional economy expansion, new threats from Asia’s newly developing countries and competition from Japan/Korea with their strong industrial vertically integrated power. Moreover, there is a trend for those major western multinational companies to move their overseas manufacturing and technical services back to their mother lands, creating a new face of the global supply chain. More severe industrial competition is being expected. As such, Taiwan needs to aggressively proceed with its own industry structural transformation concentrating on the industries, investment, human resources and industrial efficiency. One of the government efforts could be made to continue building the industrial intelligent information service system through the mechanism of

全球X光影像設備市場呈現平穩成長，整體市場平均成長率僅約達2~3%，隨著全球資訊數位化比重逐漸增加，再加上數位X光影像設備提供了傳統X光影像設備所不能達到的諸多優點，如數位X光影像設備可以較低輻射劑量提供更高品質影像、成像快速、減少重製，都大幅增進生產能力與效率。除此之外，數位影像亦可供診斷醫師以電子化方式，進行影像的檢視、擷取、傳送、分析，大大提高簡化傳統工作流程與提高醫療院所的整體效率，因此，數位X光影像設備儼然已經成為市場未來成長的主要動能。 另一方面，歐美先進國家雖仍為主要區域市場，然新興市場具備未來成長空間與發展潛力，預期在這些新興國家基礎醫療設施建構等市場需求增加情況下，讓許多醫院慢慢由傳統洗片式的X光機逐漸升級為數位X光影像系統，更驅動著數位X光影像設備未來市場的成長。特別是亞太區域市場，市佔率將從2013年24%大幅提升至2018年的26.7%，成為重點發展區域。 在市場發展機會方面，本研究依據未來市場規模與成長潛力、現有市場飽和度以及國家數位化基礎建設程度等面向，建立可逐步篩選市場並發展不同因應策略的分析模式。國家數位化具一定程度且未來市場潛力相對較高的國家，將是台灣廠商可以優先布局的區塊，諸如中國大陸或墨西哥等國。以中國大陸為例，由於數位化程度具一定基礎，因此，當地規模較大型的醫院滲透率相對較高，未來市場成長動能將落於二級以下的醫療院所，這些單位由於預算有限，因此，價格與適地化功能將為其主要考量之一。此外，從設備數量來看，目前電腦掃描放射影像(Computed Radiography；CR)數目佔整體市場2/3，預期在醫療支出的持續增加、醫改政策的帶動，以及接受數位X光放射影像(Digital Radiography；DR)的保險給付較高的因素下，未來會有升級以及換機的需求，值得台灣廠商優先考量。 而數位化程度低，但市場未來潛力相對高者，以印度為例，目前市場樣態仍多以傳統X光影像設備(Analog Radiography；AR)為主，對於數位X光設備需求度尚處於初期，因此，在切入策略上，將以聚焦於私立醫療院所為主，並透過搭配影像處理軟體，降低醫師的學習曲線，以提高其轉換使用意願。此外，由於該國數位化程度有限，因此再切入時，若可搭配醫療影像儲存與傳輸系統(Picture Archiving and Communication System；P

印尼擁有豐富的天然資源及充足的人力，是國際投資機構看重印尼的主要考量，尤其印尼的人口結構年輕，過去五年經濟平均成長率達5%以上，人均所得已達3,000美元，即使在全球籠罩金融危機的2008、2009年，經濟成長率仍分別有6.1%及4.5%，未來經濟持續成長潛力雄厚。為了加速成長，印尼政府於2011年5月公布「加速擴張印尼經濟發展計畫2011-2025」(Acceleration and expansion of Indonesia economic development 2011-2025)(簡稱MP3EI)，於未來4年間預計將促進投資增加4,680億美元，從事改善公共設施、促進產業發展、強化人力資源與品質之提升，並開發六大經濟走廊，期望於2025年使印尼人均所得提高至15,000美元，並進入世界前10大經濟體，使得印尼成為東南亞最大的經濟體。 我國在開放對中國大陸投資以前，印尼是我國廠商對外投資的主要地區，隨後由於中國大陸的改革開放、我國放寬對陸投資及1998年東南亞國家的亞洲金融風暴，台商到印尼的投資大幅減少，但是在全球化與區域經濟整合風潮之下，對外投資與全球布局已經是廠商求生存的重要戰略，再加上目前中國大陸勞動成本上漲，而印尼在國際經濟環境中已備受矚目，印尼遂成為台廠對外布局時宜予重視的地區。尤其兩岸自從簽署經濟合作協議(ECFA)之後，台灣應同步加強與東南亞國家之合作，以免過度依賴中國大陸市場。同時東協高峰會議，各國同意在2013年正式展開《區域全面性經濟夥伴協定》(Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership；RCEP)的談判，預計在2015年底完成談判。我國更應該積極加強與RCEP主導成員東協國家間經貿互動，進入全球最大的自由貿易區市場。 基於上述，本研究乃針對工具機範疇來探討進入印尼市場的策略，首先探討進入印尼市場的原因、接著分析印尼汽機車應用市場、汽機車製造設備之供應以及印尼工具機區隔市場及競爭情形，進一步因而提出我國進入印尼工具機市場之短、中、長期策略，最後為本研究之結論。

一國製造業的競爭力，攸關其經濟榮景與永續發展，尤其隨著2008年經濟海嘯、2010年歐債危機以來，幾個製造業大國不約而同，無不將國家產業發展政策聚焦先進製造技術，透過與資通訊、網路、感測器等跨領域技術之整合，朝向智慧機械、數位化整合之虛擬工廠及綠色製造技術發展。 先進國家如美國政府於2011年啟動先進製造夥伴聯盟計畫，以確保美國在先進製造領導地位，同時，也利用頁岩氣開發技術的突破推動再工業化，預計將撼動未來石化及能源版圖並對全球製造業產生重大影響。英國政府則於2012 年公布「英國高值製造的未來展望」報告，從資源效率、製造系統、材料整合、製造流程、經營模式五大主軸來精進。德國也於同年提出跨部會「工業4.0計畫」，期打造一個完全數位化的製造生產系統，整合網路技術、軟體技術、物聯網技術、雲端運算技術與巨量資料（Big Data）等技術。 相較於歐、美在先進製造業的積極佈局，台灣要如何因應台灣環境資源條件及未來生活型態趨勢，發展出合適之製造業新樣貌？如何創造不易被國際競爭者取代的新附加價值？如何善用製造優勢，發展可引領潮流的生活品牌？如何重建技職，養成產業基礎技術人才，打造台灣專屬「藍領大軍」？…這些都是台灣在面臨全球製造價值鏈重新定位時遭遇的挑戰。 面對國際競爭局勢，台灣唯有走向「創新型經濟體制」，才能以新思維充實國家經濟實力；而先進製造就是台灣製造業轉型的機會，若能掌握這一波新動力躍起，台灣產業逆轉勝將是可期。 創新的思維例如，台灣在發展工具機產業時，若能應導入「結果導向服務」商業模式，將等同以服務方案鼓勵客戶積極投資、擴張市場。而在面對中國大陸世界工廠角色的轉變時，智慧自動化技術的有效加值運用，則可做為鼓勵台商返台投資的載具。台灣的電子產業，未來可考慮結合醫療提供更細緻的服務；以結合台灣的臨床醫學優勢，轉型投入高附加價值的醫材產業；在材料的應用上，若能兼顧掌握3D列印技術與其衍生的新商業模式，則更可助於將台灣製造帶入新的高峰。而製造業在發展創新的同時，若能再進一步透過「製造業產值預測模型(IEK-CQM)」即時掌握景氣脈動與預警資訊，就如同獲得如虎添翼的市場資訊，利於在全球政經環境快速變遷的時代，洞燭先機掌握優勢。 在這波全球國家競爭力轉型的浪頭上，工研院IEK責無旁貸，以動員大量資深產業分析師，及集結工研院院內相關領域專家的能量，共同編撰《逆轉勝 台灣先

The Ivory Tower and the Marble Citadel opens up a new way of pursuing the critical development of political philosophy in today's intercultural intellectual arena. Metzger holds that political philosophies are linguistically unavoidable efforts to infer the principles of morally legitimate government from a maximally enlightened conceptualization of the universal human condition. Because these efforts depend on a vocabulary embodying culturally inherited premises, textual analysis uncovering these premises and debate about how they should be revised are crucial for the improvement of political philosophy.

This authoritative collection contains writings by some thirty of the most significant Chinese writers of the period between 1919 and 1949. The three decades from which these pieces are drawn encompass most of the Republican period, a tumultuous era in Chinese history in which modernization and republicanism coexisted with classical culture. Thematically, these xiaopin wen, or modern Chinese essays, differ significantly from the more social and political fiction of the May Fourth movement. Their scope varies, from ruminations on broader existential issues to more personal contemplations on everyday life, often delving into issues of morality and interpersonal relations. Although described as "essays," they are not restrained by the formal, expository connotations of this English term; rather, their tone is more intimate, reflective, and at times witty or tinged with melancholy.

Understanding how the Chinese writing system illustrates universal design features of writing and literacy learning, as well as how it differs from alphabetic literacy, has become one of the cutting edge areas of research in the cognitive sciences. A major part of this book is devoted to the presentation of a series of proposals for collaborative research with investigators working in East Asia on cross-writing system comparisons and bilingual literacy—Comparing alphabetic and morpho-syllabic literacy. The part that corresponds to "International perspectives" proposes new avenues in research on problems of bilingualism shared by speakers of all languages. With a broad survey of research advances drawing from recent investigations, this book will provide non-specialist readers with examples of how the relevant concepts might be applied to practical problems-age of acquisition effects in first and second language development; analysis of language attrition and asymmetries of different k

Hong Kong began its colonial history in 1842 when China ceded Hong Kong Island to Britain. The Hong Kong Police Force was formally set up in 1844 to maintain law and order. To recognise its contribution in handling the 1967 Riots, the Hong Kong Police Force was renamed the Royal Hong Kong Police Force in 1969, turning a new page in the police history. This volume mainly delineates the Hong Kong policing history from 1842 to 1969 through the frontline stories of many police officers. Eighty retired policemen and policewomen, representing different generations, races, ranks and lines of duties, share the views and memories of their police service through individual oral history sessions and group discussions. Their personal recollections and lively anecdotes enable readers to enjoy the excitement and relieve the challenges, the good days and hard times of the police throughout the eras. These accounts mirror the evolution of the Hong Kong Police Force in the decades after the Second W

This study attempts to analyze systematically the rationale, evolution, and consequences of Chiang Kai-shek's "unity before resistance" doctrine, which was the basis of Nanking's appeasement policy. The author argues that there were a number of independent variables that influenced Nanking's attitude toward Japan: 1) the internal disintegration of China; 2) factional conflicts within the Kuomintang; 3) ineffective administration; 4) the vicissitudes of nationalism; 5) the material backwardness of China; and 6) international mediation. All of these factors were interrelated. The intervening variables were Chiang Kai-shek's personality, his patterns of political behavior, his way of ruling, and his perception of internal and external crises. By adopting the temporary appeasement policy toward Japan, Chiang hoped to gain enough time to consolidate China and his supreme leadership. But Chiang’s appeasement policy in fact engaged his government in two races - one with Japanese aggression an

In sooth, I know not why I am so sad: It wearies me; you say it wearies you; But how I caught it, found it, or came by it, What stuff 'tis made of, whereof it is born, I am to learn; And such a want-wit sadness makes of me, That I have much ado to know myself. 真的，我不知道自己為什麼這麼悶悶不樂： 我自己也感到厭煩；你們說見我這樣子，你們都苦惱了； 我怎樣染上了憂鬱，我怎麼遇見、邂逅了它， 憂鬱究竟是何物，它從何而來，還有待我去認識； 憂鬱讓我變得遲鈍， 我都搞不清楚我自己了。 ──《威尼斯商人》(Act I, Scene I) The venom clamours of a jealous woman Poisons more deadly than a mad dog's tooth.

This volume presents a timely assessment of the Hu–Wen Administration at the juncture of preparing a change of China’s leadership in 2012–13. The assessment is important because the administration’s apparent success tends to create a path-dependent orientation on the part of its successor. Bringing together a collection of nineteen major essays, this book offers a fresh perspective of evaluating the performance and achievements of China in the Hu–Wen era in terms of economic development, the establishment of a rudimentary social security system and her rising international status. The new opportunities and challenges facing China, and how will the likely successors Xi Jinping and Li Keqiang handle those opportunities and challenges, as well as new policy programmes will also be discussed in greater detail. Each essay is written by experts and scholars from different academic disciplines and backgrounds to provide readers with a unique overview of their respective areas of expertise.

Within this text, the contributors provide a historical perspective on the development of anthropology and sociology since their introduction to Chinese thought and education in the early twentieth century, with an emphasis on the 1930s and 1980s. The authors offer different windows on theoretical and research agendas of anthropologists and sociologists of the PRC and Taiwan, shaped as much by their political context as by disciplinary training. In examining the careers of several individual scholars, they also make note not only of their creative contributions, but also of the resonance of their intellectual concerns with contemporary issues in sociology and anthropology (culturalism, frontiers, women). Finally, the volume is organized loosely around the problem of how to translate these disciplines into a Chinese context(s), the issues of "indigenization" (bentuhua 本土化) or "making Chinese" (Zhongguohua 中國化), which have haunted the two disciplines since their establishment in the 1930

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. 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，寫作特色則以出人意料的結局最為讀者所熟悉。 歐．亨利的小說架構設計精巧，故事行進中多有幽默的橋段，最後再以讀者想像不到的結尾收場。歐．亨利很擅長設計這種出其不意的結局，這成為了他小說中最大的特色，這種結局的寫作方法也因此被稱為「歐．亨利式結尾」（O. Henry Ending）。 歐．亨利的原名為William Sidney Poter，1862年生於美國北卡羅萊納州。1902年，他移居紐約，成為職業小說家。他勤於筆耕，寫作速度很快，作品也普受歡迎，因而名利雙收。然而，他步上父親的後塵，染上酗酒的惡習，最終落魄謝世。 本書一共輯錄了歐．亨利深具代表性的15篇短篇小說，包括： 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. Springtime à la Carte（春日菜單） 7.

This is how a Chinese proverb goes, “It takes a long way to tell how strong a horse is; it takes a long time to know a person well.” Yet, the Chinese also developed a set of rules to know a person simply by observation – read first his face and palm, then his gesture and demeanour for his intelligence and his luck. If you’re interested in knowing a person by just looking, this book is an indispensable read: - Is she/he the perfect wife or husband? Is he pretending to be rich, but is actually a less-privileged working class? Is he a sex fiend or a shameless con man? They are giving it away on their face and with their gestures. - What is your boss thinking? How do you tell if a subordinate is loyal? Which of the workers is the most competent? Simply take a look and you’d know. - Read both the face and the palm to tell his/her love luck and if his/her marriage is good or bad. - A mole, a zit, the voice, the hair and the way a person walks are all essential clues to tell his/her luck.

One, I should pull back as my caution told me to, push Kenneth away and, if possible, shove him out of my house. He would glare at me, get crazier than ever, crush the door perhaps and would never ever speak to me again, though for a second, I thought that was all I was after, that Kenneth leaving me alone. Choice two: I should kiss him back, ignore the thousands voices bellowing in my head that Kenneth, the Kenneth whose lips were brushing gently against mine, was a blood-drinking vampire who had killed people, that he had a serious problem of mood swinging. It was then I realized I was undoubtedly, madly in love with him. 本書特色 A start of the Baffled Series; A story about baffled; A survival of a girl who is struggling in a dilemma; A ornament of youth love…… A relationship between human and……

At the close of the Chinese Civil War, two million Chinese fled from the victorious communist army under Mao Zedong. They fled across a long ocean strait to the island of Taiwan where they waited for almost fifty years, dreaming of their lost homes and relatives left behind, aging and living out their lives as defeated, cursed people. But when both Taiwan and China began to become wealthy, the two sides allowed cautious exchanges. The split families met up again. There was hope, joy, sorrow, and disasters. Yet the losers of the Chinese civil war, who had endured for so long, now found a new reason to persevere: they no longer hated their enemies. In fact, they now wanted to join them. This book draws on oral histories with Kuomintang loyalists in Taiwan to show their painful struggles with family, friends, and relatives back in the mainland, their hopes and disappointments, the effects on a changing society and political situation in Taiwan, and the dynamics of cross-strait relation

In December 2008 some 350 Chinese intellectuals published a manifesto calling for reform of the Chinese constitution and an end to one-party rule. Known as 'charter 08,' the manifesto has since been signed by more than 10,000 people. One of its authors, Liu Xiaobo, was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 2010 but has remained in prison since 2009 for subversive crimes. This collection of essays -- the first of its kind in English -- examines the trial of Liu Xiaobo, the significance and impact of Charter 08, and the prospects for reform in China. The essays include contributions from legal and political experts from around the world, an account of Liu's trial by his defense lawyers, and a passionate -- and ultimately optimistic -- account of resistance, repression and political change by the human rights lawyer Teng Biao. -- P.

本書特色： 華語文能力測驗中高級讀本 TOCFL (Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language) advanced-level textbook ACTFL (American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages) advanced mid-level textbook 成語是各語言中的精髓，中文的成語更是蘊含著豐富的中華文化與人文精神。然而，目前成語教學課程大多採取教師介紹成語典故的方式，因為這種方式仍停留在生詞講解，以及文意理解的狀態，對於學生學習及運用成語的幫助非常有限。 因此，具有多年教授外籍學生出手成章成功經驗的作者，透過科學化的手段篩選出高使用頻率的成語，有系統地設計本書內容，並且將「運用成語」作為本書設計的重點，以助有心出口成章與出手成章的讀者都能心想事成。 This book was carefully designed and arranged. It contains adapted versions of everybody's favorite jokes, lighthearted tales, and well-known historical stories. Many diverse questions and sentence patterns are discussed, and the used idioms recur frequently to aid in memorizing them. The users of this book (teachers and students alike) will enjoy it.
