The Law of the People’s Republic of China on Safeguarding National Security in the Hong Kong SAR (the ‘NSL’) promises to be the most important legal development in Hong Kong since the advent of the Basic Law. Many wondered in the aftermath of the NSL how the foundations of Hong Kong’s system might be changed and in what way the freedoms valued by Hong Kong may be affected. Supporters view the law as essential for the preservation of public order and the national security of China and to support the fundamental well-being of “One Country, Two Systems”, an arrangement that has been in place since the return of Hong Kong to China. Critics fear an adverse impact on the spirit of “One Country, Two Systems”.From a discussion initiated by the University of Hong Kong’s Faculty of Law, this collection of essays brings together leading experts on Hong Kong and Chinese law to offer an exploratory study of the NSL and its impact on the legal system and the principle of the rule of law in Hong Kong

The Buddhist Maritime Silk Road recounts the magnificent history of the world of Maritime Buddhism from a diverse range of aspects―the various Buddhist traditions, pilgrims and monks, causes and conditions, norms and rituals, cross-cultural relations between East and West, as well as the intricacies of navigation technology, and migrations of the Austronesian peoples―all remarkable and crucial elements of the transmission of Buddhism brought to new heights of importance.In this book, Dr. Lewis R. Lancaster innovatively shifts the focus to documenting the dynamic networks and systems of interchange in Eurasia, instead of the common approach of historical, event-structured analysis. The fascinating history of the spread of Buddhism begins in the early years of the Common Era, when animal caravans began treading across the inland routes between India and China, evolving as sea routes flourished over centuries. It emerges that Buddhism flowed and thrived along with the beating pulse of the

'A fascinating tale of poisons and poisonous deeds which both educates and entertains.' - Kathy ReichsAs any reader of murder mysteries can tell you, poison is one of the most enduring — and popular — weapons of choice for a scheming murderer. It can be slipped into a drink, smeared onto the tip of an arrow or the handle of a door, even filtered through the air we breathe. But how exactly do these poisons work to break our bodies down, and what can we learn from the damage they inflict?Drawn from historical records and current news headlines, A Taste for Poison weaves together the fascinating tales of spurned lovers, shady scientists, medical professionals and political assassins, showing how the precise systems of the body can be impaired to lethal effect through the use of poison. From the deadly origins of the gin & tonic cocktail to the arsenic-laced wallpaper in Napoleon’s bedroom, A Taste for Poison leads readers on a fascinating tour of the intricate, com

Two leaders in the field offer a compelling analysis of the current state of the art and reveal the steps we must take to achieve a robust artificial intelligence that can make our lives better.“Finally, a book that tells us what AI is, what AI is not, and what AI could become if only we are ambitious and creative enough.” —Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion and author ofDeep ThinkingDespite the hype surrounding AI, creating an intelligence that rivals or exceeds human levels is far more complicated than we have been led to believe. Professors Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis have spent their careers at the forefront of AI research and have witnessed some of the greatest milestones in the field, but they argue that a computer beating a human in Jeopardy! does not signal that we are on the doorstep of fully autonomous cars or superintelligent machines. The achievements in the field thus far have occurred in closed systems with fixed sets of rules, and these approaches are too narro

The Cambridge Companion to World Literature introduces the significant ideas and practices of world literary studies. It provides a lucid and accessible account of the fundamental issues and concepts in world literature, including the problems of imagining the totality of literature; comparing literary works across histories, cultures and languages; and understanding how literary production is affected by forces such as imperialism and globalization. The essays demonstrate how detailed critical engagements with particular literary texts call forth differing conceptions of world literature, and, conversely, how theories of world literature shape our practices of readings. Subjects covered include cosmopolitanism, transnationalism, internationalism, scale and systems, sociological criticism, translation, scripts, and orality. This book also includes original analyses of genres and forms, ranging from tragedy to the novel and graphic fiction, lyric poetry to the short story and world cine

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.

International health and aid policies of the past two decades have had a major impact on the delivery of care in low and middle-income countries. This book argues that these policies have often failed to achieve their main aims, and have in fact contributed to restricted access to family medicine and hospital care. Presenting detailed evidence, and illustrated by case studies, this book describes how international health policies to date have largely resulted in expensive health care for the rich, and disjointed and ineffective services for the poor. As a result, large segments of the population world-wide continue to suffer from unnecessary casualties, pain and impoverishment. International Health and Aid Policies arms health professionals, researchers and policy makers with strategies that will enable them to bridge the gaps between public health, medicine and health policy in order to support robust, comprehensive and accessible health care systems in any political environment.

In this interesting study, Jenny Edkins explores how we remember traumatic events such as wars, famines, genocides and terrorism, and questions the assumed role of commemorations as simply reinforcing state and nationhood. Taking examples from the World Wars, Vietnam, the Holocaust, Kosovo and September 11th, Edkins offers a thorough discussion of practices of memory such as memorials, museums, remembrance ceremonies, the diagnosis of post-traumatic stress and the act of bearing witness. She examines the implications of these commemorations in terms of language, political power, sovereignty and nationalism. She argues that some forms of remembering do not ignore the horror of what happened but rather use memory to promote change and to challenge the political systems that produced the violence of wars and genocides in the first place. This wide-ranging study embraces literature, history, politics and international relations, and makes a significant contribution to the study of memory.

在追求經濟成長的同時，兼顧環境永續性、社會包容性與跨世代的公平原則。普惠金融、嵌入金融，到多元商業模式「綠色金融科技」由三個重要構念組成，分別是環保永續、金融服務，與創新科技。如何讓更多人能一邊享有普惠金融服務，一邊順手做環保，甚至還能一邊創新商業模式，達到個人、企業與環境永續經營目標，是這本專書所要闡釋的重點。首先是普惠金融(inclusive finance)。本專書個案中，特別從一般市井小民的金融需求出發，由學生族、弱勢女性、開車族，到中小微企業、街頭咖啡館，讓傳統金融服務相對忽略的族群，也能透過簡單好用的科技，取得即時方便的金融服務，落實以人為本的創新應用。其次是嵌入科技(embedded technology)。本專書個案探討金融科技新創業者如何善用智慧型手機、AI科技、AIoT物聯網科技、區塊鏈等科技，嵌入到多元服務場域，以串接金融與非金融服務。換句話說，數位科技不但在改變金融服務，更由科技嵌入多元場景歷程，改變服務生態系。第三是多元商業模式(multiple business model)。從自然生態系的角度來看，生物多樣性原是永續發展的基礎。這本專書也嘗試由多元商業模式的觀點，邀請讀者一起思辨金融科技新創乃至傳統金融服務業者，如何驅動多元商模變革，以創造永續經營利基。

★ 新加坡學者剖析新加坡醫療體系之力作★ 張鴻仁（台灣行政院衛生署疾病管制局首任局長〔1999-2000〕）﹑周穎政（台灣國立陽明交通大學公共衛生研究所暨醫學人文學科教授）﹑楊駿（美國哈佛醫學院訪問學人）﹑林韋地（新加坡執業醫生）專文推薦★ 附：繁體版作者新序〈十年之後——新加坡醫療體系之演變概覽〉★ 極具效率的新加坡醫療體系，對世界有何啟示？ 何謂最理想醫療體系？這是從政者、學者乃至民眾都會感興趣的問題。新加坡醫療體系國際排名優異，在世界衛生組織 (World Health Organization) 「全球醫療體系排名(Ranking of Health Systems)」中名列第六 (二〇〇〇)、被彭博 （Bloomberg)「醫療效率指數 (Health-Efficiency Index)」評為全球醫療效率最高的國家或地區 (二〇二〇)、獲「全球健康指數 (Global Health Index)」評為亞洲最健康國家 (二〇一七)，自然成為研究焦點。 在《病有所醫？新加坡醫療體系之理想與現實》一書之中，新加坡學者林方源 (Jeremy Lim)以本土視野剖析新加坡醫療體系各個面向，闡述其融資模式、監管架構、服務類型、人才管理、醫病關係乃至醫療旅遊之細節與得失。這是學習新加坡醫療體系運作與成效的最佳入門著作。 應當如何分擔醫療開支壓力，一直是備受爭議的政治議題。亦因為此，林方源認為，不從政治哲學角度切入分析，便難以透徹評估新加坡醫療體系之成效。這個體系假設，公共資源有限，故此醫療開支亦是個人重要責任，新加坡醫療融資模式由此理念構建，「公義」與「效率」之辯由此而起。 有學者指，醫療體系之建構，取決於一地政治歷史脈絡，何謂最理想醫療體系之問題因而更形複雜。貧富者或無一致利益立場，但他們皆不能否認，「病有所醫」與否，與他們生活息息相關。
