'A fascinating tale of poisons and poisonous deeds which both educates and entertains.' - Kathy ReichsAs any reader of murder mysteries can tell you, poison is one of the most enduring — and popular — weapons of choice for a scheming murderer. It can be slipped into a drink, smeared onto the tip of an arrow or the handle of a door, even filtered through the air we breathe. But how exactly do these poisons work to break our bodies down, and what can we learn from the damage they inflict?Drawn from historical records and current news headlines, A Taste for Poison weaves together the fascinating tales of spurned lovers, shady scientists, medical professionals and political assassins, showing how the precise systems of the body can be impaired to lethal effect through the use of poison. From the deadly origins of the gin & tonic cocktail to the arsenic-laced wallpaper in Napoleon’s bedroom, A Taste for Poison leads readers on a fascinating tour of the intricate, com

Bring the mysterious and magical world of Emily Dickinson into your home by making the comforting foods that Emily loved to cook. Whether you are a fan of the hit television series Dickinson or have long been inspired by Emily Dickinson's poems, this enchanting cookbook brings Emily to life as little else could. A distinguished food historian said this about Emily: "She was probably better known as a baker than a poet in her lifetime." Remarkably, that is true! Emily wrote her poetry in the kitchen of her home in Massachusetts and was cooking up a storm much of the time. She wrote poems on the wrappers of packages of chocolate that she had ordered for baking; and she wrote recipes in her notebooks of poems. Food and cooking were central to Emily's identity and were woven into her vocation of writing poetry. The more than 50 recipes in this colorful and lavishly illustrated book include recipes that Emily recorded during her life, other recipes we know she and her family enjoyed, and re

本書特色Analyzing authors by analyzing the words they use;Revealing the person behind the pages by revealing the condition of language.序【Acknowledgements】 I want to thank Mr. Michael Song, the President of Showwe Publisher (Taipei, Taiwan), for his encouragement and his thoughtfulness. My thanks also go to Irene Cheng and Lestat Yin for making this book possible.【Preface】 The initial idea of writing such a book on the condition of language comes from a question, which was asked by Jean-Paul Sartre in his book, What is Literature? In fact, Sartre truly wanted to ask himself and the readers, this essential question - 'What is Writing'? In Sartre's Words, again, he mentioned the way in which Charles Schweitzer was 'amazed' (Sartre 89) by the French language. In some ways, Schweitzer did not consider himself 'as a writer' - he 'played' with the language, and yet, 'had not quite made it his own' (Sartre 89). Sartre's words indicate that to write in a specific language - as a writer - firstl

Two leaders in the field offer a compelling analysis of the current state of the art and reveal the steps we must take to achieve a robust artificial intelligence that can make our lives better.“Finally, a book that tells us what AI is, what AI is not, and what AI could become if only we are ambitious and creative enough.” —Garry Kasparov, former world chess champion and author ofDeep ThinkingDespite the hype surrounding AI, creating an intelligence that rivals or exceeds human levels is far more complicated than we have been led to believe. Professors Gary Marcus and Ernest Davis have spent their careers at the forefront of AI research and have witnessed some of the greatest milestones in the field, but they argue that a computer beating a human in Jeopardy! does not signal that we are on the doorstep of fully autonomous cars or superintelligent machines. The achievements in the field thus far have occurred in closed systems with fixed sets of rules, and these approaches are too narro

在這種強調社會整體發展的社會生活範疇之中，面臨各種的決策是無法避免的重要問題。像選擇學校、選擇就職的企業，甚至選擇結婚的對象、決定住宅地點等等。小至選擇電視節目或餐廳的菜色以及選擇服裝等，大至廠址選擇或國外設廠地址的選定甚或核能電廠的評估等。在所有的此種決策中，我們大多是根據設定的目標（Goal）從許多的替代案（Alternatives）之中，依據幾個評價基準（Criteria），來選擇一個或數個可行的替代案。按照如此來想時，人的生活可以說是選擇行為的累積，也是決策的集合。而且，它可以說是在複雜或模糊不清的狀況下依據人的主觀判斷來作決策（Decision-making）。像這樣，決策理論成已為21世紀解決重要課題的關鍵語。在這種時候，以新的決策手法呈現眼前的是美國匹茲堡大學的T.L. Saaty教授所開發的AHP（Analytic Hierarchy Process）與ANP（Analytic Network Process）。AHP&ANP的新穎之處在於只要是人，除了能理性分析之外，任何人所具有的經歷與直覺此種「感覺資訊（feeling information）」在決策過程中仍是重要的要素。所以，在以往的決策手法中對於無法模式化或難以定量化的主題，如使用AHP&ANP即可應付解決。本書提供有AHP&ANP及其他相關決策方法，如FAHP、TOPSIS、DEMENTAL、ISM等，書中也提供分析案例供讀者參考。

In his previous Schumpeter Prize-winning work, Lee analysed the 'middle-income trap', in which a developing country grows strongly only to plateau at a certain point. Yet certain developing countries, most significantly China, have managed to escape this trap. Building on the conception of the ladder from developing to developed countries being kicked way, this book suggests alternative ways, such as 'leapfrogging', in which latecomers can catch up with their forerunners. Providing policy solutions for development challenges in non-technical terms, Lee frames his theories with insightful and inventive allegories. In doing so, Lee also accounts for the catch-up paradox, in which one cannot conclusively catch-up if they are continually trying to follow the path of those ahead. He argues that eventual catch-up and overtaking require pursuing a path that differs from that taken by forerunners. This highly original and accessible book will appeal to students, scholars, practitioners, and an
