應用行為分析（Applied Behavior Analysis, ABA）是理論也是實務，是身為教師或父母盡職的技能，更是教導幼兒或身心障礙者必備的武功。本書並不是要提供一本速成「食譜」，亦不在解決教育工作者可能遇到的每個問題，畢竟這是不可能的──處理兒童和青少年的問題非常有趣，因為每一個體都不同，沒有一種方法對所有學生都有效。我們希望讀者能應用書中原則，成功開創屬於你自己的「菜單」，而這尤其需

A NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER"A REAL TOUR DE FORCE [AND] A BEAUTIFUL FABLE...THE READER IS SWEPT ALONG BY SLOAN'S ENTHUSIAM."—GEORGE SAUNDERS, BLIP MAGAZINE"A book about passion—for books, for history, for the future...There is nothing about Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore that I didn't love."—Cory DoctorowThe Great Recession has shuffled Clay Jannon away from life as a San Francisco Web-design drone and into the aisles of Mr. Penumbra's 24-Hour Bookstore. But after a few days on the job, Clay discovers that the store is more curious than either its name or its gnomic owner might suggest. The customers are few and never seem to buy anything; instead, they "check out" obscure volumes from strange corners of the store. Clay concludes the store must be a front for something larger and engineers a complex analysis of the clientele's behavior with the help of his variously talented friends. But when they bring their findings to Mr. Penumbra, they discover the bookstore's secrets extend far b

Computer graphics is a vast field that is becoming larger every day. It is impossible to cover every topic of interest, even within a specialization such as CG rendering. For many years, Noriko Kurachi has reported on the latest developments for Japanese readers in her monthly column for CG World. Being something of a pioneer herself, she selected topics that represented original and promising new directions for research. Many of these novel ideas are the topics covered in The Magic of Computer Graphics.Starting from the basic behavior of light, the first section of the book introduces the most useful techniques for global and local illumination using geometric descriptions of an environment. The second section goes on to describe image-based techniques that rely on captured data to do their magic. In the final section, the author looks at the synthesis of these two complementary approaches and what they mean for the future of computer graphics.

[名家名著] 36 BDD in Action中文版（第二版） BDD in Action, Second Edition ❝《BDD in Action 》第一版與第二版我都細讀過。書中內容相當完整，但要全面實踐並不容易。我自己的做法是將BDD 套用在Clean Architecture 的核心層：先撰寫使用案例測試（透過ezSpec），再撰寫production code。能在「使用案例層」與「領域層」落實BDD，已經非常有價值；至於介面層與框架層，則仍採傳統的「先寫程式，再寫測試」。 你不必強求看懂本書所有細節，但務必從中學到能改變行為的一些觀點與技巧。理解Christopher Alexander對設計的定義，將幫助你站在更高的視角閱讀本書，避免在術語的迷宮中迷失，更能掌握BDD 的核心價值與精神。❞ ────「搞笑談軟工」板主Teddy Chen　專文推薦 ❝這就是BDD最打動我的地方。它不強調工具，不推銷框架，而是讓你反問：「我們到底有沒有釐清需求？我們是不是做了很多努力，卻在錯的方向上奔跑？」這本書沒有標準答案，但它給你很多值得思考、值得實作的方法。 ……程式開發從來就不是「閉門造車」，也不是在白板上畫出一個完美的心智圖就萬事OK了；而是從問題開始，一點一滴趨近需求，一次次讓對話更有力量。這本書給我們的不是標準流程，而是一種態度：我們不是為「開發功能」而開發，而是為了「解決問題」、為了「交付價值」。希望這本書也能帶給你一些啟發，甚至開啟你下一場更有共識、更有價值的專案。❞ ────本書譯者　江玠峰 ❝John和Jan一如往常地，以清晰詳實的筆觸描述了許多實用技巧。我自己讀到新內容時也不禁點頭認同，甚至還有幾次「恍然大悟」的時刻。我很高興將近20年過去了，BDD依然能引發這麼多關注與興趣，也非常感謝John和Jan為這本如此全面的參考書推出新版。❞ ────Daniel Terhorst-North，實務顧問 BDD(Behavior-Driven Development，行為驅動開發)是一種以協作為核心的軟體設計方法，透過具體的範例，它能將應用程式的需求與行為轉換成更清楚、可測試的規格。BDD的流程會納入來自組織內不同角色的觀點，讓軟體更能同時契合終端使用者的需求與業務利害關係人的目標。本書介紹的協作實踐與自動化策略，將幫助你充分發揮BDD的價值，為開

「不會吧，我又被堵在一個白癡司機後面？這個月最重要的會議要趕不上了。這個傢伙是怎麼拿到駕照的？「為什麼經過這麼多年，我妻子還是要問這些讓人無法忍受的問題？難道她不知道，我在家裡需要安靜嗎？」「為什麼經過這麼多年，我丈夫還是不願意把襪子撿起來放到洗衣籃內，把碗放到洗滌槽內呢？難道他不知道，我也在辛苦工作，工作的時間也與他一樣長嗎？」 這些火藥味十足的問題，是不是讓你覺得很熟悉？如果是，一點都不奇怪，因為憤怒是普遍存在的。如果對憤怒情緒放任自流，它會給我們的生活帶來長久的損害：破壞人際關係，失去工作，甚至導致嚴重的疾病。現如今，人們的壓力越來越大，我們所有人都有過憤怒的行為，並經常事後後悔。有沒有解決辦法，既不用生氣，又能堅持自己的權利？答案是一個響亮的「有」，前提是按照《心理學大師埃利斯經典作品：控制憤怒》這本書提出的理性情緒行為療法各個突破性的步驟來練習。 阿爾伯特.埃利斯（Albert Ellis），超越弗洛伊德的著名心理學家，理性情緒行為療法之父，認知行為療法的鼻祖。在美國和加拿大，他被公認為十大最具影響力的應用心理學家第二名（卡爾羅傑斯第一，弗洛伊德第三）。埃利斯創立了對咨詢和治療領域影響極大的理性情緒行為療法（Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy，REBT），為現代認知行為療法的發展奠定了基礎。該療法適用範圍廣、實用性強、見效快，為中國心理咨詢師最常用的方法，是中國心理咨詢師國家資格考試必考的療法之一。埃利斯自哥倫比亞大學獲得臨床心理學博士學位，投身心理治療工作60餘年，治癒了15000多名飽受各種情緒困擾的人，並在紐約創立阿爾伯特埃利斯理性情緒行為療法學院。埃利斯是精力充沛而多產的人，也是心理咨詢與治療領域內著作最豐富的作者之一。多個核心心理咨詢期刊都曾刊登過埃利斯的文章，他的文章刊登次數堪稱心理咨詢領域之最。他一生出版了70多本書籍，其中有許多都成為長年暢銷的經典，有幾本著作銷售量高達幾百萬冊。

《金錢心理學》並非教你如何用數學公式致富，而是帶你深入理解「為何人們會這樣用錢」。作者摩根・豪澤以19篇精煉短文，揭示我們對金錢的直覺、恐懼、慾望與決策背後的心理機制。真正的財務智慧，不在於知識有多深，而是能否控制情緒與行為。在這本廣受好評的暢銷書中，你會發現投資與理財不是數學題，而是人性課。這本書適合所有想更好理解金錢與自己關係的讀者，幫你在混亂與不確定中，做出更聰明、更穩健的財務選擇。Doing well with money isn’t necessarily about what you know. It’s about how you behave. And behavior is hard to teach, even to really smart people.Money—investing, personal finance, and business decisions—is typically taught as a math-based field, where data and formulas tell us exactly what to do. But in the real world people don’t make financial decisions on a spreadsheet. They make them at the dinner table, or in a meeting room, where personal history, your own unique view of the world, ego, pride, marketing, and odd incentives are scrambled together.In The Psychology of Money, award-winning author Morgan Housel shares 19 short stories exploring the strange ways people think about money and teaches you how to make better sense of one of life’s most important topics.

Holling覺得自己卡在最糟的夾縫裡：學校裡，他要獨自留下來念莎士比亞；家裡，爸爸只在乎面子，完全不聽家人心聲。每個月都有新難題，每個星期三都讓他懊惱不已。但日子過著過著，他開始喜歡上莎士比亞的詞句，也開始看見Mrs. Baker真實的一面——甚至也開始懂得，如何保護想守護的人。Gary D. Schmidt 用輕柔幽默的筆觸描寫少年心事與時代背景交織的成長故事，溫和卻深刻，讀完令人回味不已。2008 Newbery Honor BookIn this Newbery Honor-winning novel, Gary D. Schmidt offers an unforgettable antihero.

Mrs. Baker doesn’t like Holling—he’s sure of it. Why else would she make him read the plays of William Shakespeare outside class? But everyone has bigger things to worry about, like Vietnam. His father wants Holling and his sister to be on their best behavior: the success of his business depends on it. But how can Holling stay out of trouble when he has

在本書中，好萊塢不再只是造夢工廠，而是一個高度自我保護、彼此勾連的封閉體系。作者以犀利筆法，描寫明星如何在金錢、崇拜與媒體放大的環境中，逐漸失去自我節制。書中涵蓋兒童教養、成癮文化、政治表態與網路輿論等面向，呈現娛樂產業與美國流行文化之間的相互影響。閱讀過程充滿震撼與諷刺感，也促使讀者反思：當名人被視為道德指標，社會究竟付出了什麼代價。Hollywood, Interrupted is a sometimes frightening, occasionally sad, and frequently hysterical odyssey into the darkest realms of showbiz pathology, the endless stream of meltdowns and flameouts, and the inexplicable behavior on the part of show business personalities.Charting celebrities from rehab to retox, to jails, cults, institutions, near-death experiences and the Democratic Party, Hollywood, Interrupted takes readers on a surreal field trip into the amoral belly of the entertainment industry. Each chapter ― covering topics including warped Hollywood child-rearing, bad medicine, hypocritical political maneuvering and the complicit media ― delivers a meticulously researched, interview-infused, attitude heavy dispatch which analyzes and deconstructs the myths created by the celebrities themselves.Celebrities somehow

《布魯克林有棵樹》75週年紀念版，榮登PBS「美國最愛小說Top 100」。描寫20世紀初，少女法蘭西在紐約布魯克林貧民區成長的心路歷程。她歷經家庭貧困、父親酗酒、親戚奇行，仍堅強面對生活。小說細膩刻畫平凡日常中的喜悅與哀愁，真摯動人，被譽為一部直抵人心的美國經典。A PBS Great American Read Top 100 PickA special 75th anniversary edition of the beloved American classic about a young girl's coming-of-age at the turn of the twentieth century.From the moment she entered the world, Francie Nolan needed to be made of stern stuff, for growing up in the Williamsburg slums of Brooklyn, New York demanded fortitude, precocity, and strength of spirit. Often scorned by neighbors for her family’s erratic and eccentric behavior—such as her father Johnny’s taste for alcohol and Aunt Sissy’s habit of marrying serially without the formality of divorce—no one, least of all Francie, could say that the Nolans’ life lacked drama. By turns overwhelming, heartbreaking, and uplifting, the Nolans’ daily experiences are raw with honestly and tenderly threaded with family connectedness. Betty Smith has, in the pages of A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

為什麼聰明人也會做出愚蠢行為？從比爾‧柯林頓的醜聞到休‧葛蘭特的荒唐事件，再到不合理的怒吼、扭曲的自我認知，《與內在白癡共處》以幽默又犀利的筆觸，揭露人類潛意識中那個叫作「Inner Dummy」的原始衝動！心理作家大衛‧魏納融合佛洛伊德理論與演化心理學，解析我們腦中那渴望性、地位與生存的原始本能。讀者不僅能笑看社會奇聞，更能學會如何駕馭內心的白癡衝動，避免讓生活陷入災難。From the sexcapades of Bill Clinton to the unbelievable story of Hugh Grant and the prostitute; from the 15-year-old who weighs only 82 pounds but believes she's obese, to the professor who screams profanities at other drivers in snarled traffic--we wonder out loud, "What are they thinking?!" What drives so many apparently normal, intelligent people to act irrationally, harming themselves and others?According to Sigmund Freud, such behavior may be caused by the "id," our built-in mental invitation to everything from dangerous fun to horrendous acts of irrationality. For popular psychology writer David Weiner, "id" stands for "Inner Dummy," the part of the brain that we must come to understand if we are ever to know why we do foolish, irrational, and compulsive things. Drawing on the groundbreaking the
