故事發生在一個被稱為「Seawaren」的小鎮。兩百年前，「廢墟」毒害了大地，迫使人類退居海岸一隅。而大海，早已被這股毒素改變，成為了「海中怪獸」的領地。而書中的主角 桑妮（Sunny） 從小被教導三個真理：「海怪是危險的、海怪是暴力的、海怪就是怪物。」然而，一次偶然的相遇，桑妮救下了受傷的海怪 阿墨（Mo）。她驚訝地發現，阿墨不僅擁有高度智慧，性格更是溫柔，牠跨越海洋僅僅是為了尋找失散的兄弟。當桑妮冒險保守這個祕密時，飢荒卻襲擊了小鎮。在生存與偏見的夾縫中，桑妮逐漸意識到：真正的怪物，或許並不生活在海裡，而是隱藏在人心深處的恐懼與祕密中。Sunny waited until her mother was asleep before she went back for the monster . . .All her life, Sunny has known three things about the creatures that prowl the seas off her tiny coastal town.

誰說女生就不擅長科學《The Atlas Six》作者帶來STEM滿點的YA處女作。機械方面的潛能讓對未來毫無計畫的Bel被迫加入機器人社團，看Bel在男生主導的機器人社團中，發揮潛能贏得一席之地又收獲愛情。Bel would rather die than think about the future. College apps? You’re funny. Extracurriculars? Not a chance. But when she accidentally reveals a talent for engineering at school, she’s basically forced into joining the robotics club. Even worse? All the boys ignore Bel—and Neelam, the only other girl on the team, doesn't seem to like her either. Enter Mateo Luna, captain of the club, who recognizes Bel as a potential asset— until they start butting heads. Bel doesn’t care about Nationals, while Teo cares too much. But as the nights of after-school work grow longer and longer, Bel and Teo realize they've made more than just a combat-ready robot for the championship: they’ve made each other and the team better. Because girls do belong in STEM. In her YA debut, Alexene Farol Follmuth, author of The Atlas Six (under the penname Olivie Blake), explores both the challenges girls of colour

These molecules provided the impetus for early exploration, and made possible the voyages of discovery that ensued. The molecules resulted in grand feats of engineering and spurred advances in medicine and law; they determined what we now eat, drink, and wear. A change as small as the position of an atom can lead to enormous alterations in the properties of a substance-which, in turn, can result in great historical shifts. With lively prose and an eye for colorful and unusual details, Le Couteur and Burreson offer a novel way to understand the shaping of civilization and the workings of our contemporary world.

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

A unique text integrating numerics, mathematics and applications to provide a hands-on approach to using optimization techniques, this mathematically accessible textbook emphasises conceptual understanding and importance of theorems rather than elaborate proofs. It allows students to develop fundamental optimization methods before delving into MATLAB®'s optimization toolbox, and to link MATLAB's results with the results from their own code. Following a practical approach, the text demonstrates several applications, from error-free analytic examples to truss (size) optimization, and 2D and 3D shape optimization, where numerical errors are inevitable. The principle of minimum potential energy is discussed to highlight the deep relationship between engineering and optimization. MATLAB code in every chapter illustrates key concepts and the text demonstrates the coupling between MATLAB and SOLIDWORKS® for design optimization. A wide variety of optimization problems are covered including con

Discover the subject of optimization in a new light with this modern and unique treatment. Includes a thorough exposition of applications and algorithms in sufficient detail for practical use, while providing you with all the necessary background in a self-contained manner. Features a deeper consideration of optimal control, global optimization, optimization under uncertainty, multiobjective optimization, mixed-integer programming and model predictive control. Presents a complete coverage of formulations and instances in modelling where optimization can be applied for quantitative decision-making. As a thorough grounding to the subject, covering everything from basic to advanced concepts and addressing real-life problems faced by modern industry, this is a perfect tool for advanced undergraduate and graduate courses in chemical and biochemical engineering.
