《第五項修練》實戰版、史丹佛商學院領導課鍛鍊「系統領導」思維，在衝突的目標中做出最佳決策華倫．巴菲特曾說：「當潮水退去，才知道誰沒穿褲子。」這句話不僅點出經濟週期的難以預測，也道盡企業領導者所面臨的嚴峻考驗。本世紀以來，在技術變革、經濟動盪、地緣政治衝突與全球疫情的連番衝擊下，如何領導組織走向未來，變得愈加困難。當面對來自內外部多方交叉壓力，卻發現過往的經驗法則愈來愈派不上用場，領導者如何才能穩住陣腳，帶領團隊乘風破浪？關鍵就在於——「系統領導」（Systems Leadership）。本書作者羅伯．西格爾是史丹佛商學院講師，也是創投公司創業者。他以親身擔任高階主管的經驗，以及長期研究新創領域的觀察，提供一套現代領導新框架：用動態的「系統領導」思維，取代單向的管理視角。書中收錄豐富企業案例，如開雲集團、埃森哲、哈雷機車、富國銀行、新創公司Box等，為各類型企業、新創公司與初中高階主管，提供深刻與務實的洞見。駕馭混沌變局，透視現代領導者的「五大交叉壓力」 優先事項Priorities：如何兼顧「執行業務」與「未來創新」？ 團隊管理People：如何同時展現「強勢領導」與「同理心」？ 影響範圍Sphere of Influence：如何兼顧「內部」與「外部」利害關係人？ 地域範疇Geography：如何同時掌握「在地優勢」與「全球化機會」？ 個人使命Purpose：如何兼顧「雄心抱負」與「維持政治家風範」？

「抵抗、解放的戰略化戰術就是：積極地發明影像！」―― 高重黎《物．像．書》是藝術家高重黎的首部書寫作品，以「可見性的政治經濟動力學」貫穿展開，探討攝影術自發明以來如何藉技術與殖民體系，擴大為全球的「可見性基建工程」與「影像原始積累」。書中集結高重黎近十餘年來的重要論述、訪談、創作筆記，並收錄代表作《幻燈簡報電影：秋刀魚的滋味》與《延遲的刺點：堤2》紙上版等系列與繪稿，全書逾兩百幀圖片，部分為首度公開，廣泛涵蓋影像與感知論題，以及對動畫、攝影、電影與生成式影圖等技術圖像歷史的關鍵分析。本書邀請讀者隨高重黎獨樹一幟的創作理路，對我們自身的視覺精神史進行一次基進考察，拆解影音階級與權力秩序的暴力構造，鑄造奪回感知主權的思想機具和實踐方法！Thing．Figure．Book is the debut written work by artist Kao Chung-Li. Centered on the "political-economic dynamics of visibility," the book interrogates how photography, since its inception, has expanded into a global "infrastructure of visibility" and "primitive accumulation of images" through technology and colonial systems. The book assembles Kao Chung-Li’s essential essays, an interview, and creative notes from the past decade. It also includes paper-based versions and sketches of his representative series, such as Slideshow Cinema: An Autumn Afternoon and Belated Punctum: La Jetée 2.

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。

[名家名著] 34 軟體設計耦合的平衡之道：建構模組化軟體系統的通用設計原則 Balancing Coupling in Software Design: Universal Design Principles for Architecting Modular Software Systems ♛　Vaughn Vernon Signature Series系列叢書　♛ 理解耦合對軟體設計決策的影響──然後駕馭它！ 如果你想打造模組化、可演進和具備高韌性的軟體系統，就必須設計出正確的耦合關係。你做的每一個設計決策都會影響耦合，而它們會回過頭來影響你將來可用的設計選項。然而，直到這本書出現之前，耦合很少得到應有的重視。 打從軟體工程的開天闢地之初，人們就發現，若要建構模組化軟體系統，正確的耦合管理就是非常重要的一件事。這個主題多年來被廣泛研究過，但有些知識已遭遺忘，有些則難以套用在當今的開發環境。作者根據他自身累積的知識，打造一個通用模型，甚至針對現代軟體工程的慣例來量身調整，替模組化軟體設計帶來令人耳目一新的觀點。 透過清楚說明這些原則與實踐，作者將引導你釐清耦合的多維度特性，並示範如何讓耦合成為強大的設計工具，以有效管理軟體複雜性、提高模組化程度。本書說不定會顛覆你對軟體設計的全面認知！ ❑ 內容亮點 ☑︎定義耦合的概念，以及它在系統設計與系統架構中扮演的角色 ☑︎解釋耦合為何會增加系統複雜性，但亦能促進模組化程度 ☑︎介紹一個整體模型，將耦合變成設計模組化軟體的工具 ☑︎展示如何演進設計決策，來支援軟體系統的持續成長 ☑︎以基於真實使用案例的詳細範例示範書內討論的原則
