From a bestselling and award-winning team comes a moving, gorgeously illustrated picture-book biography of one of the greatest cellists of all time, Yo-Yo Ma, and his lifelong passion for using music to unite people in harmony and joy "I've been asking myself all my life, 'What is the purpose of music?'" -Yo-Yo Ma At a young age, Yo-Yo Ma discovered a remarkable gift for the cello, playing Bach from memory by age four. His technique was far beyond his years, but even as he grew and became a world-class musician--studying at Juilliard, performing at Carnegie Hall at a young age, even playing on television before the president of the United States--he wanted to use his gift for something deeper, something bigger. As he asked question after question, trying to understand his place in the world, he discovered something that every culture has in common: music. Ma decided that he would spend his life not only performing for others, but learning from other cultures' musical traditions and fin

高科技產品大多是利用固體(固態)的功能性材料來製作，因此要了解科技產品的原理，就必須先了解固體材料的物理特性，討論固體材料物理特性的科學稱為「固態物理學(Solid state physics)」。本章先從原子的發光原理談起，再介紹原子的發光顏色、半導體的發光原理、半導體的發光顏色、半導體的發光效率，最後介紹固體材料的導電特性。光通訊元件的工作原理與基本的光學物理效應息息相關，因此要了解各種光學元件就必須先了解光波在固體材料內的特性。本章先從光的折射率(Index)談起，再介紹光的模態(Mode)、色散(Dispersion)、積體光學(Integrated optics)、光電磁聲效應，最後介紹光通訊元件的分類。光通訊的主動元件是光通訊系統裡比較複雜的元件，通常困難度高價格也高，光通訊比電通訊價格更高的原因之一就是主動元件。本章先從雷射(Laser)的原理談起，再介紹雷射光的特性、雷射的種類、雷射二極體(LD)、光通訊用雷射二極體、光放大器(Optical Amplifier)、光偵測器(PD)，最後介紹光調變器(Optical modulator)。光通訊的被動元件是光通訊系統裡比較簡單的元件，雖然沒有主動元件複雜，但是重要性很高。本章先從光纖與光連接器的原理談起，再介紹光耦合器與光分離器、光隔絕器與光衰減器、光交換器、波長多工器(WDM)，最後介紹光子晶體(Photonic crystal)與最近熱門的超光學(Meta optics)。人工智慧伺服器需要結合大量圖形處理器(GPU)形成運算「叢集(Cluster)」，當運算速度愈來愈快，傳送的資料愈來愈多，使用光訊號傳輸就成為趨勢。本章先從光收發模組的原理談起，再介紹矽光子(SiPh)元件、矽光子的世代演進，最後介紹共同封裝光學(CPO)與資料中心的發展趨勢。

If you’ve ever longed to start again, doubted your own courage, or simply needed a reminder that dreams don’t expire with age, this book was written for you.Step into my journey — and perhaps, into a braver version of your own.Cinnie是個看不出年紀的神秘女人，身上同時具備天真好奇與世故洞察兩個相反特質，有種把世界當成大遊樂場的開放心態，造就這本獨一無二的作品。讀者可以把本書當成求學遊記，你會看到她們在異國文化差異裡苦中作樂，也會看到她們在孤單環境中的堅韌和努力，細品她們對待每一縷溫暖善意的感恩，更會看到一位媽媽對孩子最深刻、最廣袤、無邊無際的永恆親情。這是一本為了女兒才存在的書，而我們何其有幸，得以透過Cinnie的細膩觀察和溫柔文字，一起進入這個讓人跟著劇情心情起伏跌宕，又哭又笑的幸福時空中。——鄧心彤（耕己出版總編輯）

這是一部深刻動人的回憶錄，講述彼得在1944至1945年間，從匈牙利出發，與父母一同穿越戰火中的歐洲，途經奧地利與德國，經歷飢餓、死亡與恐懼，卻依舊懷抱希望與愛。這不僅是關於戰爭的紀錄，更是一段母子情深、勇氣與求生意志交織的真實旅程。書中以孩童視角看世界，在轟炸聲中學數學、在集中營中捕捉短暫的童年時光，讓人揪心不已。作者彼得・藍托斯為神經科學家，也是大屠殺倖存者之一。他以清澈的筆觸，為下一代留下了珍貴見證。A story of survival - and of enduring hope in the face of unspeakable hardship - on an extraordinary journey, made by Peter, a boy of five, through war-torn Europe in 1944 and 45. Peter soon realises that this new adventure is really a nightmare, watching bombs falling from the blue sky outside Vienna, and learning maths from his mother in Belsen.“Deeply moving” - Booktrust“A gripping story of love, courage and triumph over evil” - The Bookseller“Can, and should, be read by an audience of any age.” - Jewish NewsA story of survival, of love between mother and son and of enduring hope in the face of unspeakable hardship.

Yuan Haowen 元好問 (1190 1257) is one of the greatest Chinese poets of the past eight hundred years. He is especially famous for his poems lamenting the death and disorder that accompanied the decline, fall, and aftermath of the Jin dynasty, when the Mongols took over North China. Reading Yuan’s poems, one feels his intense pain at the demise of the dynasty and his deeply felt need to preserve the historical and cultural record of civilization as he knew it. The poems are distinguished by breadth of learning, linguistic creativity, and allusive depth. They also reveal an abiding sense of irony, and occasional self-directed wry humor.John Timothy Wixted’s treatment of 150 of Yuan Haowen’s poems distills available scholarship on the poet in Chinese, Japanese, and Western languages. The poems—lucidly introduced, interpreted, and explicated—are presented in romanization and translation as well as in the original.Some critics have justifiably acclaimed Yuan Haowen to be one of China’s greatest

本著作以引導聲部加上對位法則作為研究方法之基礎，將確認調進行 (key-defining progression) 及一對一對位的二聲部的聲部結構(voice structure)結合，從而延伸為三聲部或四聲部的引導聲部織體，以此作為線條流動方向及 agogic progression 的依據。具體將 Palestrina-Fux-Bach 的傳承，化為 agogic progression 在詮釋與表達的理論基礎，將傳統 agogic 在個別音符的流動擴展為三到四聲部的線條流動的 agogic progression 。硏究取向以和弦擴充(chord prolongation)及和聲進行為基底， agogic progression 發展出以聲部結構為經，確認調進行為緯，專注在三或四聲部的聖詠曲織體，成功地將個別音符的 agogic 延伸為流動的多聲音片 agogic progression。Tonal music is an art language with highly civilized products. As an art form, the vocabularies, syntax and techniques are integrated as one to portray the vast varieties of music emotion.Agogic is exactly such term used to describe human feeling and emotion. It not only describes degrees of speed, but also refers to the character of a composition. Since, the variety of agogic terms appearing on scores to describe all shades of human feeling and emotion.Music theory teaching should not be detached from human sentiment. Agogic, to author's view, is embedded in harmonic progression. She propo
