Chen Shui-bian is one of the most consequential -- and controversial -- politicians in Taiwan’s modern history. He broke the political grip of the ruling Kuomintang (Nationalist Party), winning the presidency in 2000 and paving the way for the first peaceful transfer of power to the opposition – the Democratic Progressive Party.But he was also convicted in four corruption-related criminal cases, and his actions inflicted great political harm on a young democracy. Ultimately, Chen will be remembered as the first president of Taiwan to be sentenced to jail.Chen’s intriguing story deserves retelling, and veteran journalist Osman Tseng is uniquely suited to the task. Tseng’s journalistic career spanned more than four decades with the Chinese language China Times as well as English media outlets, the China Post, and the China Economic News Service (CENS). This gave him a choice vantage point for observing Chen’s political ascent and the dramatic legal battles of his eventual downfall.◎代理經銷：

本書採取一種較為廣泛的視野，認為公共行政之倫理學應該包含善治（good governance）的層面。因此，內容除探討傳統「行政倫理」（Administrative Ethics）所著重的組織內部層級間適當關係外，還引介並闡述了當代人們關注民主政府之正當性和回應性的諸多課題，是以本書定名為《公務倫理》，意即「公共服務的倫理學」（The Ethics in Public Service）。故而本書的

變異數分析（ANOVA）是一種統計公式，用於比較不同組的均值（或平均值）之間的變異。一系列方案可用來確定不同組的均值之間是否存在差異。ANOVA的結果是「F統計量」。該比率顯示了組內變異與組間變異，最終產生了一個數字，該數字可以得出支持或拒絕原假設的結論。如果組之間存在顯著差異，則不支持虛無假設，並且F比率會更大。ANOVA如果顯示處理之間有顯著差異，則必須採用事後比較檢定（Post hoc tests）用以測試處理組與對照組是否有顯著差異。這種統計技術稱為多重比較檢定（MCA:Multiple Comparison Analysis testing）。本書的特徵有以下四項：1. 只要看數據類型，統計處理方法一清二楚。2. 利用圖解，數據的輸入與其步驟清晰明確。3. 利用圖解，統計處理的方法與其步驟一目了然。4. 輸出結果的判讀方法簡明易懂。

In The Chinese Idea of a University: Phoenix Reborn, Rui Yang conceptualizes the cultural foundations of modern university development in Chinese societies. Instead of focusing on the uniqueness of the societies, this book aims to prove that one educational purpose could be fulfilled via many paths, and that most of the characteristics the university could be found in other institutions of higher learning. Citing the practices of four selected Chinese societies, Yang opposes the existence of an impassable chasm between Chinese and Western ideas of a university and argues that it is possible to combine Chinese and Western ideas of a university. Also, this book is one of the first in English to theorize the Chinese idea of a university. It links the historical events to the present, in a context of an enormous impact of Western academic models and institutions, from the beginning of modern universities in Chinese societies to the contemporary period.
