本書作者在台灣生活足足八年，因而有機會近距離觀察台灣，每每加以評論並發表於報刊，這便是本書後半部的來源。作者表示：「台灣之自由超過我想像，台灣之民主不及我想像」，並指出有人以「速度論」來解釋這種現象，認為快速發展的社會使民主與自由的調節失控，也有人以「亂象論」來解釋，認為選舉的制度沒有到家，台灣式選舉使民主與自由的編碼(coding)工程錯亂，以及更有許多人認為台灣社會應該受批評的並非自由與民主的

Thin-Walled Structural Members Under Web Crippling Loadings: Finite Element Analysis, Design, and Integrated Testing addresses a critical and specialized area in structural engineering focused on the behavior, analysis, and design of thin-walled steel members subjected to web crippling loadings. This reference integrates experimental testing, advanced numerical modeling, and international design codes to improve understanding and practical design of cold-formed steel structures worldwide. The book offers in-depth coverage of experimental testing procedures and finite element analysis, including practical guidance on software tools, model verification, and validation best practices. It includes design examples that demonstrate real-world applications across multiple international codes. The book also presents integrated comparisons of experimental, numerical, and design results, discusses failure modes, and incorporates reliability analyses and parametric studies. This book serves as a

Fifteen essays that offer inspiration, encouragement, and advice from accomplished writers with ADHD. A rising number of ADHD diagnoses, particularly among adults, is not only confirmed by medical studies and mainstream reporting but also borne out across social media and elsewhere among people who'd been privately coping with persistent, often inexpressible challenges. Many of the contributors to this collection can attest to how a later-in-life diagnosis radically demystified the patterns, impulses, and impasses that had affected their lives and their writing. The essays in Chaos, Creativity, Completion reflect the ways poets, novelists, memoirists, filmmakers, and others have come to understand and engage the relationship between their ADHD and their creative practices. These essays consider how writers can embrace rather than mask their neurodifference, offering multiple ways of finding writing practices that work for ADHD brains--including techniques that often look quite differ

多家庭治療（multiple-family therapy，MFT）是一種詢證有效的心理治療方法，目前在國際上廣泛用於成年人和兒童抑鬱、焦慮、進食障礙等各類問題，在可接受性、可行性方面有優異表現。本書是關於MFT是什麼，以及如何將其應用於神經性厭食症（MFT for anorexia nervosa，MFT-AN）的專業指南。全書分為兩個部分。第一部分詳細介紹了MFT以及MFT-AN的理論概念、結構、方法及其應用，並針對對團體帶領、治療技巧和團體過程遇阻時的應對方式等給出了臨床指導。第二部分則按照四天密集工作坊以及後續六到八個月的隨訪的不同階段，詳細介紹可供治療師選擇的各項活動的準備和實施過程。本書結構清晰、論述簡潔，兼具理論性的同時示範了如何將理論概念轉化

本書以提升物理資源和硬件資源利用率為目標，從資源分配和調度兩個角度，引入認知思想，對分布式MIMO雷達陣元選擇與功率分配問題、分布式MIMO雷達接收波束分配問題、集中式MIMO雷達陣元選取問題、集中式MIMO雷達功率與帶寬聯合分配問題、集中式MIMO雷達的波束-功率和波形聯合分配問題、機動目標跟蹤中的集中式MIMO雷達快速功率分配問題以及MIMO雷達在多入單出(multiple-inputsingle-output, MISO)和MIMO工作模式下的資源調度問題進行了研究，並給出了相關仿真結果。
