Deluxe paperback features stunning inside cover art and a dazzling edge design! ● Fall in love with the addictive, suspenseful love story between a teenage girl and a vampire with the book that sparked a "literary phenomenon" (New York Times) and redefined romance for a generation, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Stephenie Meyer. Isabella Swan's move to Forks, a small, perpetually rainy town in Washington, could have been the most boring move she ever made.

Deeply romantic and extraordinarily suspenseful, Twilight captures the struggle between defying our instincts and satisfying our desires. This is a love story with bite--and fans of the genre-defining tale can relive the experienc

我們花了這麼多力氣在知識轉譯和教育推廣，為何人們的行為還是沒改變？若知識、勸說與善意並不足以讓人友善環境，能不能換個方向，從改變身邊的技術開始？《設計永續》就從這個轉向開始。如果技術不只是供人使用的工具，也會反過來塑造人的行動，問題很快就不再只是「如何讓人更環保？」作者洪靖以「行為嚮導技術」作為思索技術干預的起點，展開一連串直指根本的追問：技術介入是否侵犯自由？我們所說的自由預設了什麼樣的人？技術會不會本來就是政治的一部分？循著這些追問，本書從環境危機與行為改變出發，一路走向設計方案、人類圖像、民主政治，甚至重新檢視原本用來判斷「技術介入是否正當」的標準。本書藉由穿越技術哲學與STS、行為心理學、環境教育與設計，乃至政治理論的領域界線，將各自的觀點與方法融進一條由問題驅動的論證鏈中，並重新組構彼此的位置和功能。它並非以西方理論解釋東方經驗，也不是讓本土案例回過頭來補充既有理論，更非從東方的位置反省西方。反之，它直接進入西方思想內部，透過內在批判與理論重構，追問現代社會與思想中那些被視為理所當然的基本前提，逐步發展出一套新的思考框架與實作路徑，為重新安排人類與技術如何共同生活打開更多可能。

故事就是人物，人物就是故事 ˙以《故事的解剖》暢銷全球25年，好萊塢編劇教父最新力作 ˙英國《衛報》讚譽：「亞理斯多德後最有影響力的故事理論家」 ˙2017年榮獲Final Draft編劇專業獎項Screenwriters Choice Awards之終身成就獎 ◆ 故事自身可能受限於時代意義而褪色， 能夠超越時空永存不朽的，是故事裡的人物。 羅伯特．麥基「故事學三部曲」最終章！ 繼暢銷全球25年的編劇聖經《故事的解剖》（Story, 1997）、對白寫作第一本指南《對白的解剖》（Dialogue, 2016）之後，全球公認的故事專家奉上「故事學三部曲」最終章，教你如何為電影、電視影集和舞台劇、長篇或短篇小說，打造超越時空局限、永存人心的人物╱角色！ ◆ 過去的角色塑造、人物設定教戰手冊為何無法幫到你？ 因為你需要的不只是方法、步驟， 因為你需要先從頭理解「好的故事人物」需要怎樣的作者，練就「頂尖創作者體質」。 ●故事創作者10大能力值：品味、知識、原創性、表演技巧、觀眾╱讀者意識、精通形式、痛恨老套、道德想像力、最好的自我、認識自我 故事人物只要「活靈活現」就夠了嗎？ 不論是從故事發展出人物，抑或從人物發展出故事， 讓人物成功的關鍵，不能靠Step by Step的方法論， 而是需要與你的生命連動的創作思考，從你自身開展出屬於全體人物的宇宙。 ●你筆下的人物不等於你，但會反映你的信念、價值觀、觀察力……從對自己的理解出發，推演出只屬於你的人性觀，讓主角與配角用他們的人生提出所有可能性，構成故事與人物的完整宇宙。 沒有研究，如何開發？！ 創作者該如何從記憶力、想像力出發，從何處學習，在哪裡行動？ 讓「故事學大師」麥基告訴你 什麼是真正的角色研究： 理解「由外而內」vs.「由內到外」的人物形塑方式， 從人物的對立面與衝突面，展現其層次與複雜性。 ‧‧‧ 「我對人性的所有理解，都來自於我自己。」――契訶夫（Anton Chekhov） 麥基：「人物╱角色，終究要在自身裡尋找。」 因為，所有傑出的人物塑造 皆始於自我認識，也終於自我認識。 繼故事、對白的創作解析之後，這一次，麥基要帶領你從根本去認識故事人物╱角色的本質，再深入探究創作好角色的關鍵，比如： ◆人物的發想，是要先塑造外在條件再回頭打造內在核心，還是應該反過來？ ◆如何「進入」你的人物，挖掘他的「四個自我」，以

數位時代的攝影師聖經，AI時代重大修訂在人人都有強大拍攝科技的時代，培養真正的影像判斷力如果說當今的影像世界有什麼明顯改變，那應該不是畫質更高、設備更先進，而是影像創作變得太過容易。拍照幾乎沒有門檻，甚至不需要相機——人工智慧可以在幾秒內生成一幅看似完美的畫面。當「製造影像」已如此輕而易舉，真正稀缺且有價值的，其實是，我們是否還有能力看出影像的力量從何而來？ 這正是本書核心：攝影不只是紀錄，更是一種視覺設計。決定作品出不出色的，在於拍攝者是否適切安排觀者的視線、控制畫面的重心、建立或打破平衡，甚至決定情緒的節奏。這些看似自然出現的效果，其實都有其設計原理，而且不但都能找到方法理解、學習，也正是區分「AI生成的影像」與「人類建構的影像」的關鍵所在，而這正是作者大規模修訂這本經典的出發點。他深信，在影像太容易生成的年代，能夠以某種手法，將相同場景拍成與眾不同、出乎意料的畫面，是比攝影史上任何時期都更受重視的價值。那麼具體上，視覺風格要如何建構？麥可‧弗里曼透過大量作品，一步步拆解我們拍照時往往忽略的設計層面：— 線條與形狀如何建立秩序— 重心與平衡如何產生張力— 框架與裁切如何引導觀看— 前景與空間如何創造深度— 節奏與對比如何形塑氛圍這些，都能讓影像具有獨屬於人的「創造性」，——讓拍攝者在面對相同場景時，拍出與他人截然不同的特性與意圖，而不只是複製現實。也正是在這個層面上，《攝影師之眼》更像是在建立觀看的素養，一種面對任何影像時，都能拆解其結構、看出其意圖的能力。這也正是為什麼，在過去十多年間，當大量攝影書隨著器材更新與潮流更迭逐漸退場時，《攝影師之眼》仍被學者與教學體系反覆使用。本書所處理的，不是攝影的表層技術，而是影像思考的基礎層次。無論工具如何改變，這一層始終不會過時。在影像愈來愈容易生成的今天，這些能力不只是創作的基礎，更是一種理解世界的方式。《攝影師之眼》所提供的，不只是拍照的方法，而是關於如何觀看、如何判斷，以及如何在影像之中建立意義。

Covering many techniques widely used in research, this book will help researchers in the physical sciences and engineering solve troublesome - and potentially very time consuming - problems in their work. The book deals with technical difficulties that often arise unexpectedly during the use of various common experimental methods, as well as with human error. It provides preventive measures and solutions for such problems, thereby saving valuable time for researchers. Some of the topics covered are: sudden leaks in vacuum systems, electromagnetic interference in electronic instruments, vibrations in sensitive equipment, and bugs in computer software. The book also discusses mistakes in mathematical calculations, and pitfalls in designing and carrying out experiments. Each chapter contains a summary of its key points, to give a quick overview of important potential problems and their solutions in a given area.
