Who would believe it could be so hard to get a drink of water? And to find it at last, cool and fresh but out of reach – that was a problem indeed for a young monkey. But luckily for him, he had an observant and logical mind. This was more than could be said for the dog that made friends with the bear, or the vain jackdaw; and as for the silly ewe and the nanny goat – well, one might call it guile or one might call it simplicity that kept the wolves at bay. First published in 1960, this charming book of animal fables was the first children’s book either Quentin Blake or John Yeoman ever published. It exudes all the warmth and wit we have come to expect of their collaborations.

★ 前華爾街量化分析師揭露：演算法如何操控你的未來★ 大數據黑暗面全面曝光：看不見的歧視與不公平我們以為世界正變得更公平——由機器取代人類做決策，似乎能消除偏見。但真相，可能正好相反。在這個「演算法主宰」的時代，你能否錄取學校、拿到工作、申請貸款，甚至保險費率高低，都悄悄被一套看不見的數學模型決定。這些系統看似客觀，卻無法被檢驗，也無從質疑，一旦出錯，影響卻會層層放大。數學家暨資料科學家凱西．歐尼爾，以親身經驗揭開大數據的陰暗面：這些模型不只沒有消除不平等，反而強化既有的階級與歧視，讓弱勢更難翻身。本書如同一場警醒之旅，帶你看見科技背後不為人知的權力運作。NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A former Wall Street quant sounds the alarm on Big Data and the mathematical models that threaten to rip apart our social fabric—with a new afterword“A manual for the twenty-first-century citizen . . . relevant and urgent.”—Financial TimesNATIONAL BOOK AWARD LONGLIST • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • The Boston Globe • Wired • Fortune • Kirkus Reviews • The Guardian • Nature • On PointWe live in the age of the algorithm.

Loved it!"--Diana Gabaldon, author of the #1 New York Times bestselling Outlander seriesWhen fragile, sixteen-year-old Hope Walton loses her mom to an earthquake overseas, her secluded world crumbles.
