We have carefully selected a collection of 20 exquisite paintings and calligraphy by Prof. Jao Tsung-i, accompanied by 50 cherished photographs captured during his worldwide travels. These features Prof Jao’s interpretations of landscapes from different corners of the world, including his large-scale paintings depiction well-know sites in Hong Kong, China, and overseas. We can observe how he exceptionally reflected the distinct character of each place and represented it using the traditional Chinese medium of ink and brush as well as Western painting style. As the old saying goes, “It is better to travel ten thousand miles than to read ten thousand books”. While achieving one of these is already incredibly challenging, Prof. Jao not only traversed thousands of miles, surpassing the accomplishments of both ancient masters and numerous contemporary painters.

傳奇歷史學家列文森經典名作，全新完整譯本「書寫歷史的行動本身即是一種歷史行動。」 麻省理工學院教授、列文森之子托馬斯．列文森（Thomas Levenson） 作序葉文心、歐立德（Mark C. Elliott）、董玥、黃樂嫣（Gloria Davies）、齊慕實（Timothy Cheek）、白傑明（Geremie R. Barmé） 聯合撰寫長篇導讀 約瑟夫．列文森（Joseph R. Levenson），才華橫溢的美國歷史學家，以對中國近代思想史的奠基性研究享譽於世，被稱為「莫扎特式的史學家」。他以一系列影響深遠的著作提出的諸多論題，如天下與國家、傳統與現代性、科學與儒學、經典主義與歷史主義等，半個多世紀以來持續為中國研究學界提供綜合性的思考框架與對話坐標。 《儒家中國及其現代命運：三部曲》是列文森的代表作，聚焦現代性衝擊之下的近代中國那「渾然一體又岌岌可危的智識世界」。全書分三卷，先後出版於1958 至1965年。第一卷《思想延續性問題》和第二卷《君主制衰亡問題》分別從思想和制度的角度探討儒家中國的消亡和傳統的斷裂；第三卷《歷史意義問題》則分析儒家的「遊魂」如何在新的意義上為經歷了現代革命的中國提供延續性。

… Venice at dawn, seen from the deck of the ship …A Venice wobbling in a thousand fresh-water reflections, cool as a jelly. It was as if some great master, stricken by dementia, had burst his whole colour-box against the sky to deafen the inner eye of the world. Cloud and water mixed in with each other, dripping with colours, merging overlapping, liquefying, with steeples and alconies and roofs floating in space, like the fragments of some stained glass window seen through a dozen veils of rice – paperOne of Europe’s most beautiful cities is celebrated through the talents of artist Fabrice MoireauVenice, a mosaic of over 100 islands, many connected by the 400 bridges which span its famous canals, is possibly the most romantic city in the world. It began as a village in the marshes and grew into a formidable sea power, dubbed the Queen of the Adriatic. Now its fading glories - the canals and palaces, monuments and churches — battle with the elements, yet remain breathtakingly beautiful.

本書內容分為三大部分︰古典測驗篇、現代測驗篇、心理測驗篇。古典測驗篇主要介紹信度、效度，以及試題分析中的難度、鑑別度、誘答力分析。接著導入現代測驗篇，介紹了試題反應理論（IRT）中常見的二元計分模式、多元計分模式，並兼論試題特徵曲線、試題訊息函數、試題差異功能分析等議題，最後介紹心理測驗篇常用的心理測驗、問卷或量表。作者以統計學專業背景，深入淺出方式，試圖讓讀者了解每個模式的意涵，這也是作者多年來的期許，希望不是統計背景的學生也能更切入模式的測量意義，但又擔心說明過多，讀者更模糊，所以每個章節末都會作個小結，方便讀者聚焦。同時每個模式輔以R程式繪出模式圖形，沒有比圖形能更快認識模式的，在程式普及的當今，模式、程式、圖形缺一不可。本書內容適合大學部學生或研究生。古典測驗篇、心理測驗篇及現代測驗篇的部分章節，應可滿足大學部學生有關教育測驗或心理測驗課程的需求。現代測驗篇所有章節可以作為進階課程用，亦適合研究生需求。本書每章所附習題，可以提供讀者練習，有助於內文的理解，有些題目取自國家考試，對於讀者準備相關考試亦有所助益。

In The Chinese Idea of a University: Phoenix Reborn, Rui Yang conceptualizes the cultural foundations of modern university development in Chinese societies. Instead of focusing on the uniqueness of the societies, this book aims to prove that one educational purpose could be fulfilled via many paths, and that most of the characteristics the university could be found in other institutions of higher learning. Citing the practices of four selected Chinese societies, Yang opposes the existence of an impassable chasm between Chinese and Western ideas of a university and argues that it is possible to combine Chinese and Western ideas of a university. Also, this book is one of the first in English to theorize the Chinese idea of a university. It links the historical events to the present, in a context of an enormous impact of Western academic models and institutions, from the beginning of modern universities in Chinese societies to the contemporary period.
