Designing Quantitative Experiments

Funny and totally true childhood biographies and full-color illustrations tell tales from the challenging yet defining growing-up years of Albert Einstein, Jane Goodall, Marie Curie, and 12 other brilliant scientists.Every great scientist started out as a kid. Before their experiments, inventions, and discoveries that changed the world, the world's most celebrated scientists had regular-kid problems just like you.*Stephen Hawking hated school, and preferred to spend his free time building model airplanes, inventing board games, and even building his own computer.*Jane Goodall got in trouble for bringing worms and snails into her house.*And Neil deGrasse Tyson had to start a dog-walking business to save up money to buy a telescope.Readers ages 8 to 12 years old will learn all the stories of a diverse and inclusive group—also including Temple Grandin, Nikola Tesla, Ada Lovelace, Benjamin Franklin, Isaac Newton, Rosalind Franklin, Sally Ride, Rachel Carson, George Washington Carver, and V

A practical, dip-in guide, packed with over 100 outdoor activities for children.In an era when the iPad is often more appealing than the park, it can be difficult to encourage kids to get off the couch and spend time outside. In this inspirational book, with ideas for children of all ages, there are over 100 imaginative ways for children to keep busy and have fun outdoors. They can enjoy outdoor crafts such as making leaf art bunting, a dream catcher, or their own toy raft, or get physical and burn off some energy with beach hopscotch, animal tracking, and developing their hunting and gathering skills. Or perhaps they would like to relax and enjoy some star-gazing or pond-dipping instead. There are fun activities to help kids get up close and personal with nature by making a wormery and a bug attractor, doing some investigative ant experiments, and putting on their own gastropod race! The book includes handy reference pics to help children identify plants, flowers, and wildlife, so as

Who are the men committing the rising number of serial homicides in the U.S. -- and why do they kill? The increase in these violent crimes over the past decade has created an urgent need for more and better information about these men: their crime scene patterns, violent acts, and above all, their motivations for committing these shocking and repetitive murders.This authoritative book represents the data, findings, and implications of a long-term F.B.I.-sponsored study of serial sex killers. Specially trained F.B.I. agents examined thirty-six convicted, incarcerated sexual murderers to build a valuable new bank of information which reveals the world of the serial sexual killer in both quantitative and qualitative detail. Data was obtained from official psychiatric and criminal records, court transcripts, and prison reports, as well as from extensive interviews with the offenders themselves.Featured in this book is detailed information on the F.B.I.'s recently developed Violent Criminal

路易斯・卡洛筆下的《愛麗絲夢遊仙境》和《鏡中奇遇》，不只是兒童讀物，更是結合幽默、哲理與奇想的經典文學。隨著愛麗絲穿越夢境與鏡子世界，讀者將發現故事中蘊藏著超越時代的現代主義與荒誕風格，搭配原版精美插畫，適合全齡細細品味。With an Introduction and Notes by Michael Irwin, Professor of English Literature, University of Kent at Canterbury This selection of Carroll's works includes Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and its sequel, Through the Looking-Glass, both containing the famous illustrations by Sir John Tenniel. No greater books for children have ever been written. The simple language, dreamlike atmosphere, and fantastical characters are as appealing to young readers today as ever they were.Meanwhile, however, these apparently simple stories have become recognised as adult masterpieces, and extraordinary experiments, years ahead of their time, in Modernism and Surrealism. Through wordplay, parody and logical and philosophical puzzles, Carroll engenders a variety of sub-texts, teasing, ominous or melancholy. For all the surface playfulness there is meaning everywhere.The author reveals himself i

本書自2000年初版以來，內容包含基礎之市場、財務、估價及投資與證券化分析等主題，也隨著景氣循環探討通貨緊縮與通貨膨脹對不動產市場之影響，以及導致不同循環的因素，如「量化寬鬆｣(Quantitative Easing, QE)及COVID-19疫情下「隔離政策｣後的高通膨現象；而因應政策及法規的演進，作者亦針對實價登錄、房地合一稅、囤房稅及「限貸令｣等新制對於不動產市場的影響進行分析。本書在不動產相關專業的深度、廣度及與時俱進，深獲學術界、實務界、政府部門及各類不動產相關證照典試委員及考生好評。最新八版即時提供最新國際規範及技術之資訊給讀者。首先是「碳中和」(Carbon Neutralization)制度對不動產市場的影響。近幾年全球暖化現象日趨嚴重，國際間的環保規範——「碳中和」制度已開始對未達減碳要求的企業課徵「碳稅」，由於不動產業生命週期自生產、使用至拆除占總碳排放的三分之一以上，因此課碳稅也對不動產業生產成本產生衝擊。其次是「人工智慧」(Artificial Intelligence, AI)技術的日新月異對所有產業帶來「革命性」的震撼，不動產業亦是如此，因此，作者介紹AI技術對於不動產價格評估上效率及精準度的提升，並與傳統計量模型（如迴歸）做比較。但作者也提醒讀者需留意AI在財務預測效力的限制，仍無法突破「效率市場假說」(Efficient Market Hypothesis, EMH)中｢新資訊」的要件。第三則是｢大數據」(Big Data)的應用。隨著巨量且多樣的網路搜尋紀錄，以及政府與商家稅費或消費資料內容的持續累積，「大數據分析」已在各產業的市場分析扮演不可或缺且即時的角色，作者亦在第八版介紹大數據在不動產市場的應用及相關技術。本書已邁入第26年，第八版除了上述內容外，也蒐集了作者多年來於報章或網路媒體所發表的時事及學術研究之「科普」文章，資料內容豐富，因此，本書以QR Code讓讀者方便展讀，並得以影音方式，讓作者親自導讀。這些國際新觀念之融入及新技術之應用，將帶給讀者更豐富且多元的學習饗宴，也必能讓讀者「入寶山滿載而歸」！教學配件：教學PowerPoint、教師手冊本書搭配：影音導讀、線上房貸精打計算軟體vs.專案評估、延伸閱讀

我們正走向更全面性的設計觀，它將會為更多的個人、社群、與世界帶來衝擊。──比爾‧摩格里吉 誰是未來的使用者？隱藏在「可用性」之後的是什麼﹖難道不是所有的設計都是以使用者為中心的嗎﹖「設計者」，儘管歷史多所曲折，不會再以美感為主要考量。他們會探索並改造權力、回饋、與溝通的系統，傳達出更寬廣的文化與社會經驗。 設計師在進行產品、空間、或媒體創作的過程中，總是會不斷地思考人類是如何與他們的作品互動的。的確，許多設計師認為滿足人們的需求是設計的基本要務。誰是設計師千方百計想要了解的對象﹖ 「使用者」在設計流程中扮演了各式各樣的角色。他們可能被描繪成理想或標準的典型，可能是被觀察、被評量、或甚至被操弄的「消費者」，也可能是積極參與問題解決的夥伴。 今天，使用者本身已然形成一股創意力量，進而打破了設計師與使用者、主體與客體之間的分界。而隨著創意團隊尋求與日益見多識廣的社會大眾建立更平等的關係，「人本設計」（designing for people）一詞也逐漸被「讓人參與設計」（designing with people）所取代。 比爾‧摩格里吉曾說：「工程師先有技術，然後賦予它用途；商人先有生意點子，然後找尋技術與消費者；設計師則是先有人，然後再從人的角度發展解決方案。」 誰是未來的使用者？價格愈趨合理的3D列印技術許了我們一個屬於個人設計與製造的新時代。隨著新時代的展開，專業設計師們會設立資料庫，讓人們下載各種可以組裝各種元素的樣式與工具。由於產品只需要滿足單一觀眾，設計師很可能會成為引領自造者探索需求與動機的諮商師與趨勢專家。 隱藏在「可用性」之後的是什麼﹖在《關鍵設計報告》中，摩格里吉詳述了人因研究的層級，並將人體解剖學（人體測量學）的尺寸丈量放在最底層，愈往上複雜度與研究度愈高。從人體測量學往上分別是生理學（physiology，人體如何運作）、認知心理學（cognitive psychology，心智如何運作）、以及文化人類學（cultural anthropology，了解人類狀態）。位在人因層級最頂級的是生態學（ecology），探討的是所有生物間的互賴關係。回想過往的使用者，摩格里吉認為只講個人需求的視野對設計思考的未來而言過於狹隘。 難道不是所有的設計都是以使用者為中心的嗎﹖不是的

讓我們沿著自然科學史和科學哲學的漫漫長路， 探究這棵如今已經根深葉茂、庇護人類的科學之樹。 ▍古希臘――科學誕生的天選之地 著名物理學家薛丁格（Erwin Schrödinger），將科學發源於古希臘的原因大致歸納為如下3點： （1）古希臘愛奧尼亞島嶼上以及沿岸自治繁榮的小城邦，實行的是類似於共和制的政治。 （2）航海貿易刺激經濟，商業交換促進技術發展，由此而加速了思想交流，衝擊科學理論的形成。 （3）愛奧尼亞人大多不信教，沒有像巴比倫和埃及那樣的世襲特權的神職等級，有利於倡導獨立思想新時代的興起。 古希臘特定的歷史條件、獨特的地理環境，以及豐厚的文化背景，使其哲學思想獨具一格，他們的哲學家們喜好研究自然本身的規律，探討的是人與自然的關係，而這正是科學的本質。 ▍你現在才學針孔成像？先秦第一科學家早就會了！ 梁啟超在其著作《墨子校釋》的自序評價說：「在吾國古籍中欲求與今世所謂科學精神相懸契者，《墨經》而已矣。」 《墨經》言簡意賅，內容包括邏輯、幾何、力學、光學等方面，例如墨家以實驗事實證明了「光線直線傳播」這個物理規律： 〈經下〉：「景到，在午有端與景長，說在端。」 （譯：影顛倒，光線相交，焦點與影子造成。） 我們小學學的針孔成像的實驗， 原來兩千年前的古人早就懂了！ ▍科學到底是什麼？ 科學的英語，來源於拉丁文的scio，後來於14世紀中期，又演變為現在的寫法，其本意是「知識」、「學問」。中文的「科學」一詞，則是借鑑於日本著名科學啟蒙大師福澤諭吉對英文science的翻譯。 在中文的語義中，科學一詞既可用作名詞，表示反映客觀世界規律的學說理論，又能作為形容詞，表示為探索客觀規律為目的的技術、方法。在科學的要素中，如果除去與其他知識體系的共同部分不談，唯「現代自然科學」所獨有的，有4個不可或缺的主要特徵： (1)可質疑（questionable） (2)量化（quantitative） (3)可被證偽性（falsifiable）及可證實性 (4)普適性（universal）。 可質疑、量化、可被證偽、普適性又是什麼呢？ 就留給作者娓娓道來， 帶你深入探索科學的無限奧祕！ ｜本書特色｜ 本書以科學家的視角論科學，具體事例多於抽象的概念描述，並在追溯科學史的過程中，簡單探究科學沒有誕生、發展於東方的原因，以及我們應該如何克服自身的不足，才能迎上世界科技的最先進水準。

Reflecting the rising popularity of research that combines qualitative and quantitative social science, Multi-Method Social Science provides the first systematic guide to designing multi-method research. It argues that methods can be productively combined using the framework of integrative multi-method research, with one method used to carry out a final causal inference, and methods from other traditions used to test the key assumptions involved in that causal inference. In making this argument, Jason Seawright considers a wide range of statistical tools including regression, matching, and natural experiments. The book also discusses qualitative tools including process tracing, the use of causal process observations, and comparative case study research. Along the way, the text develops over a dozen multi-method designs to test key assumptions about social science causation.

This unique book is the first comprehensive guide to the discovery, analysis, and evaluation of natural experiments - an increasingly popular methodology in the social sciences. Thad Dunning provides an introduction to key issues in causal inference, including model specification, and emphasizes the importance of strong research design over complex statistical analysis. Surveying many examples of standard natural experiments, regression-discontinuity designs, and instrumental-variables designs, Dunning highlights both the strengths and potential weaknesses of these methods, aiding researchers in better harnessing the promise of natural experiments while avoiding the pitfalls. Dunning also demonstrates the contribution of qualitative methods to natural experiments and proposes new ways to integrate qualitative and quantitative techniques.
