It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Diana, Princess of Wales, was laid to rest, billions wondered what the princes must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.For Harry, this is that story at last.With its raw, unflinching honesty, Spare is a landmark publication full of insight, revelation, self-examination, and hard-won wisdom about the eternal power of love over grief.

***《臺灣為什麼重要？》作者任雪麗（Shelley Rigger），這次要告訴我們一個拚經濟的故事：臺商與臺企如何拚出了中國經濟起飛。***還記得嗎？一九九五年上映的首集《玩具總動員》裡，原本自認是太空騎警的巴斯光年，發現手臂上刻著「Made in Taiwan（臺灣製造）」字樣，才認識到自己只是量產玩具。那是一個頌揚臺灣「經濟奇蹟」的年代。只是，如果把當年情節照搬至今日拍攝，巴斯光年看到的無疑會是「Made in China（中國製造）」，現在令世人稱奇的也變作「中國崛起」。你或許以為：中國經濟起飛的關鍵在於二○○一年加入世界貿易組織（WTO），自此如鴻鵠展翅，將燕雀臺灣遠拋在後。但本書要告訴你：沒有臺灣人的指引，就沒有中國崛起。美國著名臺灣專家任雪麗，於書中追溯並勾勒了戰後至今數十年來，海峽兩岸經濟從完全脫鉤到逐步整合的過程。她認為，臺商與臺企居中牽線，領航中國接軌國際，是中國經濟得以騰躍的一塊最重要跳板。她更主張，若無上述二者之助，中國未必能有今日繁榮光景，至少無法上升如此快速。因此，她特意以臺灣商人與企業為主角，講述他們為何跨海到中國拚經濟，又是如何拚出事業第二春，以及如何在無形中協助了本對全球市場需求陌生的中國企業日益茁壯，最終建立起紅色供應鏈。而且不只經濟。作者強調臺灣人大舉西進後，對中國的文化與社會也造成廣泛影響，像是帶起拍婚紗、吃個人小火鍋、喝咖啡等輕奢風尚；由於做了不少一手訪談，寫來相當生動有趣。在臺灣與中國之間緊密的經濟紐帶，因為兩岸緊張局勢和美中角力衝突可能將發生重大變化的時刻，本書帶領我們回顧歷史、分析現下與展望未來，可說是及時之作。而作者在談兩岸經濟互動的同時，自不免需要梳理臺灣經濟變遷：從香蕉王國到雨傘王國，從做Nike到做iPhone乃至做晶圓代工。對於想要迅速掌握當代臺灣經濟發展大略的讀者，本書也是絕佳入門。

本書特色★ 台灣健康城市聯盟策劃出版，知名國際健康城市學者李大拔教授( Prof Albert Lee )著作，推動台灣健康城市的發展與學習！★ 倡導「健康權」概念，提出「健康場所計畫」架構，政府應以改善群體健康為社會基礎，才能推動國家及經濟的持續發展。序▍中文版序──健康城市的持續發展／台灣健康城市聯盟香港中文大學李大拔教授 Prof Albert Lee 是著名的國際健康城市學者，長期擔任世界衛生組織西太平洋總部國際健康城市聯盟（AFHC）執行委員，多次前來台灣，給予台灣各縣市健康城市專業技術指導，是大家的好老師，也是好朋友。現在，他出版這一本《香港健康場所計畫：群體健康的持續發展》（The Healthy Settings Approach in Hong Kong: Sustainable Development for Population Health）專書，原書是英文版，記載香港各種場域，推動健康促進的經驗，他同意我們中文版的出版，絕對是我們推動健康城市重要的學習材料。李大拔教授特別指出：大多數民眾認為健康受到個人生活方式的影響，每個人應該為自己的健康負責。但其實個人的健康，與諸多複雜的環境與經濟因素相互影響，這些決定因素不只是醫療保健的問題，更是整個社會架構、公共治理的問題。在經歷過這次COVID-19全球疫情後，民眾應能明白，非衛生部門對於個人健康的影響是多麼重要。整個社會的健康，有賴於個人、家庭、學校、社區以及職場等每個場所的健康計畫是否完善。本書的「健康場所計畫」提供了一個全面性的社會架構，民眾因此得以在日常生活的脈絡之下，參與健康活動。除了基層醫療保健系統外，更強調連結各種場所，整合各個部門，為各個社會階層爭取資助，以改善各種健康危險因子。他更強調深化「健康權」，期望在力所能及的範圍中，讓全民享有最高程度的健康，減少健康不公平。民眾總以為經濟成長，成為已開發國家後，健康條件就會獲得改善，但其實應該以改善群體健康為基礎，經濟發展才有更妥善的後盾得以支持。健康場所計畫為促進全民健康與建立社會資本，提供了確實可行的範例。這都是台灣健康城市聯盟持續推動的重要工作，健康城市是一項持續性、周全性的工作，需要公私協力、跨領域合作，並且在各項場域實踐，以維護健康權。李大拔教授這一本專書，正是台灣可以學習參考的材料，是以樂為推廣。書籍簡介健康場所計畫的歷史悠久

本書介紹離岸發電的工程、製造、維修以及氣候等知識，為參考西歐地區的發展應用狀況。目前大部分大尺度風機的數據及經驗都來自於陸域風場，而海上結構物的設計、安裝和操作經驗則源自於海上的石油及天然氣工業，海洋風能的知識主要來自於航海。本書分章節邀請英國、丹麥、意大利、中國、德國、荷蘭、西班牙等相關科技領域的專家所共同撰寫，中文版由國立台灣大學工程科學及海洋工程系所翻譯編輯，林輝政教授主審。發展離岸風力發電對於沿海國家來說，是產生電力的主要發展趨勢。本書由「地中海和歐洲海域的離岸風能及其他可再生能源COWEMES國際會議」（Offshore Wind and other Marine Renewable Energy in Mediterranean Seas）的參與者共同編寫完成。歐洲將會保持離岸風場安裝經驗的主導地位，大部分跟風機相關的製造業都在歐洲進行。由於歐洲很早就開始發展離岸風電，所以目前歐洲國家掌握了大部分離岸風電的重要技術。離岸風能的利用將是人類歷史上一個主要的新發展，也是第一次大規模的工程結構安裝在海上。這些自動運轉的動態機器，期望它們能以97%以上的可用率運轉至少20年，這是非常艱鉅的挑戰。本書內容包括離岸風力發電的現況與展望，從基本原理開始介紹，書中大量圖片、圖表與表格，輔以詳盡文字解釋，每章末附有參考文獻，另有專業詞彙表與索引對照，方便讀者查詢。本繁體中文翻譯版由台灣專業領域學者專家與現場專家共同完成，力求符合最新風力發電資訊現況。

2023年，香港中文大學迎來六十周年校慶。值此重要時刻，當反思大學使命—「結合傳統與現代，融會中國與西方」的歷史意蘊與時代價值。大學圖書館藉此難得機會，舉辦紀念展覽，展示館藏中日益豐富的西方漢學珍本。 本圖錄記錄了展出的藏書，並一一簡述概況，涵蓋從十五至十九世紀中葉的書籍、地圖和手稿。珍藏之中不乏最優秀的早期漢學著作。其中許多作品均由利瑪竇、湯若望等知名耶穌會教士撰寫，他們縱然人數不多，但在深入接觸近代早期中國社會與文化的過程中，一手創立了近代漢學，留下了近距離觀察中國的珍貴記錄。隨著這些傳教士的著作傳回歐洲，關於中國的歐洲書籍愈加準確詳細，歐洲人對中國的了解也與日俱增。本圖錄透過豐富的圖像，以及細緻的介紹和描述，呈現出一幅生動的早期歷史圖景，展現西方對中國持久而深入的興趣和理解，以及中西淵源的交疊與關聯。透過本圖錄，讀者亦可藉此思索如何更好地「結合傳統與現代，融會中國與西方」。 In 2023, The Chinese University of Hong Kong celebrates the sixtieth anniversary of its foundation.
