New threats, new foes...and a new partner?! This hilarious, action-packed spy series―from the creator of Bird & Squirrel―is perfect for readers who love funny crime-fighting stories like The InvestiGators, The Bad Guys, and Dog Man!Agent 9 is back in action at the Super-Secret Spy Service, and it couldn’t come at a better time. The next assignment? Stopping the Wolf, a cunning canine who’s been hired by the sinister organization DiViSiON to hunt down the final pieces of a mind-control device. It’s a mission of such paramount importance that Nine must do the unthinkable―work with a partner! S4 teams up Agent 9 with Traps, a mouse who specializes in covert operations (and knitting too). Unfortunately, the partnership gets off to a rocky start. And despite their best efforts, the Wolf always seems to be one step ahead. With time running out and DiViSiON’s plans to take over the world nearly complete, can Nine overcome the toughest challenge yet: being part of a team?

From the New York Times bestselling author of A Deadly Education comes the fifth volume of the Temeraire series, as Will Laurence and Temeraire struggle to reunite and face the Napoleonic army on London's doorstep. “Novik has accomplished something singular with her Temeraire series. . . . At its heart, it’s a story about friendship that transcends not only time and class, but species.”―NPR For Britain, conditions are grim: Napoleon's resurgent forces have breached the Channel and successfully invaded English soil. Napoleon's prime objective is the occupation of London. Unfortunately, the dragon Temeraire has been removed from military service―and his captain, Will Laurence, has been condemned to death for treason. Separated by their own government and threatened at every turn by Napoleon's forces, Laurence and Temeraire must struggle to find each other amid the turmoil of war. If only they can be reunited, master and dragon might rally Britain's scattered resistance forces and take th

From the Nobel Prize-winning author of Thinking, Fast and Slow and the coauthor of Nudge, a revolutionary exploration of why people make bad judgments and how to make better ones--"a tour de force” (New York Times). Imagine that two doctors in the same city give different diagnoses to identical patients—or that two judges in the same courthouse give markedly different sentences to people who have committed the same crime. Suppose that different interviewers at the same firm make different decisions about indistinguishable job applicants—or that when a company is handling customer complaints, the resolution depends on who happens to answer the phone. Now imagine that the same doctor, the same judge, the same interviewer, or the same customer service agent makes different decisions depending on whether it is morning or afternoon, or Monday rather than Wednesday. These are examples of noise: variability in judgments that should be identical. In Noise, Daniel Kahneman, Olivier Sibony,

所謂公務倫理意指公共服務的倫理（Ethics of Public Service），而本書關注的重點在於公務倫理形而上層次的課題，故稱為後設分析（meta-analysis）。作者先從作為倫理依據的道德論述著手，探討不同的道德論述對於公務倫理思維的影響，進而再剖析這些不同取向的公務倫理思維在行政治理實務的體現及其背後的哲學意涵。隨後，將先前的探討導入更為寬廣的視野，闡述公務倫理的現代主義色彩，呈

For many people, having a large family isn’t a reasonable option. Fortunately, medical science has ushered in a new era of family balancing where couples can determine their baby's gender. The Revolutionary Science of Sex Selection guides prospective parents step-by-step through the maze of options currently available — from the unpredictable (and now outdated) timing method, to highly effective sperm sorting, to the preimplantation genetic diagnosis, which guarantees accuracy.The author describes the most advanced methodologies in simple lay terms so that they are easily understood. But The Revolutionary Science of Sex Selection does more than explain how the technology works — it prepares the reader for the personal experience of fertility drugs, artificial insemination, and/or in vitro fertilization. A bonus chapter details the added medical benefits of genetic testing, including preimplantation screening for single gene defects like cystic fibrosis, B thalassemia, Tay-Sachs disease

現代行銷之父科特勒最新力作 從亞洲出發，重新定義高效與卓越的未來營運模式！ 在變動不斷的後疫情時代，企業若仍停留在傳統行銷與管理思維，已難以應對全球競爭與科技浪潮。 「現代行銷之父」菲利普・科特勒（Philip Kotler），攜手亞洲行銷權威陳就學（Hermawan Kartajaya）與策略專家傑克・姆斯里（Jacky Mussry），推出這部重量級新作，帶領企業跨入營運思維的全新時代。 本書顛覆「營運只是後勤」的舊觀念，提出以營運為核心的「全能屋模型」（Omnihouse Model），將企業帶入以整合力與韌性為關鍵的競爭新局。這不僅是一本管理書，更是一套面向2025、2030乃至未來的永續競爭力行動藍圖。 本書核心：全能屋模型與QCDS革命 作者指出，卓越營運（Operational Excellence）是連結「創業精神」（創意與動能）與「專業主義」（執行與執行）的關鍵樞紐。書中進一步提出營運四大支柱 QCDS，並賦予全新時代意義： ․品質 (Quality)：不再只是標準規格，而是持續進化的「價值影響力」。從Apple到Nike，品質即是品牌與體驗的整合。 ․成本 (Cost)：不只是削減，而是打造「全員參與」的效率文化，如Toyota將成本管理轉化為長期價值。 ․交付 (Delivery)：從預測導向進化為數據驅動的即時決策，邁向低碳、智慧化的未來物流。 ․服務 (Service)：從標準化走向有溫度的「大規模客製化」，服務成為推動社會與顧客關係轉型的關鍵。 亞洲崛起：從追隨者到規則制定者 本書最具啟發性的亮點，在於深入解析亞洲如何改寫全球競爭邏輯： ․南韓｜創意與速度的極致整合 揭開三星與韓流背後的pali-pali（快！快！）精神，如何將創意轉化為世界級競爭力。 ․印度｜逆境中鍛鍊的領導力 為什麼矽谷巨頭執行長多為印度裔？這歸功於印度在資源匱乏中磨練出的超強適應力與創業精神。 ․日本｜持續改善的長期競爭力 深入豐田的DNA，看「持續改善（Kaizen）」如何將永續目標與日常工作無縫結合。 ․新加坡｜專業主義的極致實踐 解析一個無資源小島如何憑藉嚴謹的專業管理與人才培育，打造出世界第一的航空與物流樞紐。 ․中國｜陰陽平衡的高速進化 剖析中國企業（如比亞迪、騰訊、小米）如何像「陰陽」般平衡創意與生產力，在極短學習曲線中改寫產業版圖 。 為什麼你一定要讀

鑑於近年研究指出女性與男性犯罪人存在犯罪之原因、型態與路徑之迥異，以及生理及心理、行為與創傷之不同，刑事司法體系亦無法針對女性之權益與特殊需求適切挹注資源與專業處遇，國際專家學者Bloom、Owen與Covington（2003）等因此倡議性別回應矯正策略與服務（Gender-Responsive Strategy/Service for Female of Fenders），以關注女性在刑事司法體系中的特殊需求、脆弱性和權益。聯合國復於2010年通過曼谷規則，特別強調了基於數據和證據的研究、性別平等與婦女權利相關的培訓和能力建設。後續聯合國於2012年通過刑事司法體系中法律援助取得途徑的原則與準則（Principles and Guidelines on Access to Legal Aid in Criminal Justice Systems）及2014年通過女性與監禁手冊（Handbook on Women and Imprisonment），以強化女性收容人之各項權益。作者長期關注國際犯罪矯治趨勢與發展，已執行多年相關受刑人犯罪行為與處遇需求之性別差異研究計畫與國際期刊發表，本書的撰寫，希冀提升女性受刑人及出監後之矯治處遇服務品質，以減少其再犯，並供犯罪矯正機構同仁及刑事司法與犯罪防治相關機構人員、博碩研究生及致力於改善女性受刑人權益之人士參考。

作者結合多年牧會經驗、禁食禱告的靈命操練，以及神學院教授的深度教導，把傳統門訓理論轉化為可落地的操作方式。書中提出「其實門徒不是被訓練出來的，而是在跟從主的人生中，透過不斷的效法主的生活所孕育出來」這句關鍵論斷，並以SGSM（Sharing、Growth、Service、Maturation）成長模式，清楚說明分享、成長、服事、成熟四個層面的連貫意義；同時建構了「Intentional Disciple-Making Process（有目標的門徒栽培流程）」，讓門訓者能系統化地設計與推動門徒培育。整體而言，本書理論與實踐兼備，在眾多門徒訓練書籍中自成一格，既能幫助牧者與門訓導師建立清晰的神學框架，也能為每位渴望跟隨耶穌的人，提供具體可行的生命操練路徑。好評推薦：「《耶穌的門徒之道：聖經神學與實踐》內容紮實。他深刻的神學反省，一針見血；憑藉多年的精心研究和執行的心得，對門徒培育理念給與精闢的論述，同時提出具體可行之道。」——柏有成，基督使者協會「耶穌的門徒不是單單被訓練出來的，更是在生活中孕育而出。這本書可貴之處不但提供了成長的四個層面：分享、成長、服事、成熟，並且詳加解釋；也建構了有目標的，精心設計栽培門徒的體系，理論兼實用的門徒訓練之道，在眾多有關門訓的書藉中，脫穎而出，自成一格。」——鍾世豪牧師、博士，前洛杉磯國語浸信會主任牧師「全書分成三部分，第一部分解釋門徒是什麼。第二部分研究作門徒的聖經神學，包括作門徒的呼召，代價，目的，使命，動機和動力，和門徒當經過孕育出來的講述。每一章的末端提供了思考、討論問題，可供小組一同學習。正如他引用 David Platt 所說的門徒訓練的目的：『要體察神的心意，不要失落在世界的洪流中。』」——胡翼權牧師，前美國華人宣道會聯會總幹事

■ 最新第七版增訂：說明現代軟體工程師的職涯路徑與選擇、加強軟體架構設計的介紹、透過Google的軟體工程實務介紹長期持續開發(Programming over time)的概念、增加軟體重構的內容與行動應用app的開發。本書結合軟體工程的核心知識與實務應用，透過實例帶領讀者學會如何開發與管理軟體產品。內容包括：■ 軟體工程的基本觀念：先釐清「程式」、「軟體系統」、「應用系統」、「軟體開發」與「軟體生命週期」等基本概念。■ 軟體工程的程序與方法：軟體系統的開發從開始規劃、分析、設計、製作、測試、上線使用到維護，分成好幾個階段，每一個階段都有一些可以採用的方法與技術。■ 現代物件導向軟體工程：這是目前軟體開發最普遍採用的技術，很多開發工具與技術都運用了物件導向的概念與方法。■ 安全軟體系統開發週期（SSDLC）：政府與一般企業開始要求在軟體開發時就採用的開發流程與方法，防止開發期間留下資安的漏洞。■ 軟體工程相關的技術：軟體再用、MDA（model-driven architecture）、反向工程、設計模式、CMMI、軟體重構、新舊系統的轉換等。■ 軟體工程的新發展：Google的軟體開發實務經驗、軟體產品線、雲端運算、App、軟體安全、服務導向的架構（SOA，service-oriented architecture）與觀點導向（aspect-oriented）的開發技術等。本書適用對象：■ 學校或是推廣教育的老師：本書可以做為軟體工程相關課程教科書，內容約對應到18週（54小時）的學期課程。■ 資訊專業人士：建立軟體工程方面的專業背景。■ 對於軟體開發有興趣的技術人員：軟體工程探討了很多軟體開發方面的原理與策略，可以提昇專業能力與解決問題的技巧。■ 軟體產品的推廣人員：有軟體工程的背景會更了解軟體的特性與用途。

※圖文並茂．容易理解．快速吸收※ㄧ單元一概念，迅速掌握顧客關係管理的精華與內涵。※CRM＝顧客關係管理＝會員經營。※改版新增會員經營實戰全方位知識及會員經營成功案例。顧客關係管理(CRM)，亦可以視為「顧客」＋「關係管理」兩者的組合體。更深一層來看，CRM其實就是「企業的顧客戰略」，亦即將「顧客」視為企業最為核心的戰略問題來看待。近十年來，各行各業主力公司大都已引進「會員經營」與「會員行銷」的制度及操作，企業需做好哪些核心重點工作，才能真正「深耕會員」，達成「鞏固」及「黏著」會員的目標，本書有專章說明。傳統行銷強調4P組合，即產品（Product）、定價（Price）、通路（Place）、推廣（Promotion）等4P力量的組合；後來服務業普及，又增加服務S（Service），成為4P/1S組合。如今，CRM為行銷戰略的一把利劍，又增加1C；故現代行銷組合應該強調為4P/1S/1C的六項有力組合，才能在市場上行銷致勝。最近，又有Big Data巨量資料、海量資料及大數據觀念與應用的快速崛起，其整體框架與運用，又比CRM大很多，成為建立在CRM之上的總體觀。

內容簡介:‧精簡的設定和範例介紹，快速掌握Apache NiFi核心精髓‧整合當今主流的資料工程架構與相關服務說明‧掌握資料流設計的特性與重點，踏出資料工程第一步本書介紹Apache NiFi這套服務工具，讀者可以於該服務設計自動化處理資料流(Data Pipeline)。所有的設計與設定都是以No Code與WEB UI方式處理，具備強大的操作互動性和易用性。另外支援大多數的資料載體，如：Relational Database、Document DB、Column-Based、DataWarehouse 、Message Queue等對接處理，並支援目前主流的三大雲平台-AWS(Amazon Web Service)、GCP(Google Cloud Platform)和Microsoft Azure，涵蓋大部分企業使用到的應用與服務，都可透過Apache NiFi做到一站式整合與資料流設計，確保資料處理邏輯以及流入和流出的方向和目的地。同時在面對大量資料處理時也可以運用高擴展的特性來平行執行，也能更細節地去追蹤資料的變化與狀態，最後做到完整的流程與錯誤控制以避免產生資料遺漏的窘境。本書會介紹當今在資料工程常見的架構，接著介紹Apache NiFi的架構與元件、建置流程與設定、操作方式、與外部服務的整合和應用、資料追蹤等各個資料工程常見的應用處理。最後會提及資料工程領域的發展和重點分析，讓對於這塊領域較陌生或有興趣的讀者們，除了可以在本書學到Apache NiFi的核心價值之外，也能意識到該領域的後續發展與重點，給予讀者具體方向進行未來的發展和準備。

「Bryan和Thomas熟練地奠定了多執行緒開發的基礎，並巧妙地說明各種JavaScript執行時期如何實作平行計算。」 ―James Snell Node.js技術指導委員會成員 「當我開始深入研究worker執行緒時，我會很想讀這本書。它很詳細並提供很好的參考資訊。分析那章讓我忘情的大喊大叫。」 ―Matteo Collina NearForm首席軟體架構師 您準備好使用JavaScript來建構多執行緒應用程式了嗎？透過這本實用書籍，有經驗的JavaScript開發人員將可瞭解瀏覽器中所提供的web worker API和Node.js所提供的worker執行緒模組的優缺點。 作者Thomas Hunter II和Bryan English聚焦於建構多執行緒應用程式的兩種方法：一種是使用訊息傳遞，另一種則使用共享記憶體。您將學習用於實作每種方法的API，包括何時可能會想要使用其中一種方法或另一種方法，以及何時可以將它們組合。您還將接觸到基於這些方法所建構的進階樣式。 ‧瞭解如何從多執行緒程式設計中受益 ‧瞭解專用worker、共享worker和service worker之間的區別 ‧知道何時要以及何時不要在應用程式中使用執行緒 ‧透過利用Atomics物件來協調執行緒之間的通訊 ‧應用這些知識來建構高效能應用程式 ‧進行基準測試，來看看您是否會從多執行緒中受益

經典中的經典！二十世紀偉大的經濟學家米爾頓‧傅利曼，最平易近人的經濟學 米爾頓‧傅利曼，二十世紀最具影響力的經濟學家，鼓吹自由放任的市場經濟，認為經濟在政府不干預的情況下運作得最好。他長期任教於芝加哥大學，領導「芝加哥學派」的壯大，1976年榮獲諾貝爾經濟學獎。《選擇的自由》是傅利曼最具影響力、也最平易近人的著作，曾製播為同名的電視節目「選擇的自由」，1980年時在美國公共電視台（Public Broadcasting Service）連續播出十個星期，造成廣大的迴響。在這本書裡，作者要談的是經濟與人性自由的關係、市場的力量，還有政府權力擴張將會侵害人們的自由和財富。出於一片好意的計畫，一旦有政府介入成為中間人，往往會帶來悲慘的結果。作者也提出這些經濟弊病的矯正方法──應該怎麼做，才能保障人民的自由和促進經濟繁榮。書中的重要主題有：• 國際貿易障礙、物價管制會阻礙經濟成長。（第二章）• 社會福利應該怎麼做，才不會破壞人們為自己負責的誘因。（第四章）• 人生而平等，但必須釐清「機會平等」和「結果平等」的不同。（第五章）• 教育問題：政府過度補助公立學校的害處，並提出「教育券」（voucher）的構想。（第六章）• 為保護「消費者」和「勞工」而設立的機構，其發揮的效果，往往和心存善念的原始支持者的本意相反。（第七、八章）• 通貨膨脹是什麼？它如何發生？又該如何解決？（第九章）正如作者所說：在一個晚上（或甚至十個一小時的晚上）就被說服的人，並沒有真正被說服。另一個晚上，他聽了持相反觀點的另一個人的談話，很容易又會改變主意。唯一能真正說服你的人是你自己。你必須讓這些議題自在地在心中翻動，咀嚼這許許多多的論點，讓這些論點去喧騰鼓動，經過一段長時間之後，把你的偏好轉化為堅定的信仰。自由經濟的思想是良藥苦口，但是一生至少得品嘗一次。
