本書在自然與身體感受性的脈絡下，思考禮儀中的象徵在修身及教化中所扮演的關鍵地位。本書溯源到文化源頭的先秦、兩漢時期，說明自然節氣如何影響身體經驗，在對天道的體察中，從而形構物的象徵與身體隱喻。本書透過秦漢禮儀中象徵的細部分析，說明象徵符號與自我的形構、身心轉化，人我關係定義以及倫理的秩序有密不可分的關係。「象徵」既反映著自然風土與物之質性，同時也反映著不同的地方文化所形成的文化心理及身體經驗。修身與教化的理想在體察自然節氣和風土、透過象徵以調節人情中亦得到實踐。This book investigates the key role of symbolism in self-cultivation and moral education in the context of nature and bodily senses. Through detailed analysis of symbols in the etiquette of Qin and Han China, this book illustrates the inseparable relationship between symbolism and self-construction, transformation of body and mind, the definition of human-self relationship, and the order of ethics. “Symbol” not only reflects the landscapes and things, but also reflects the cultural psychology and physical experience formed by different local knowledge. The practice of self-cultivation and morality is also in the process of interpreting nature and regulating human sentiments through symbols.

預防下一場疫病大流行發生成為各國重要議題。Bill Gates以世界級專家的知識與蓋茲基金會對抗重大疾病的經驗為基礎，深入淺出解析傳染病，並提出國與國之間，政府與民間單位聯手合作，不只能阻擋下一場疫病，更有機會消滅所有呼吸道相關疾病。A new book by Bill Gates that lays out a clear plan to prevent future pandemics The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over. But even as governments around the world try to get it under control, they're also starting to talk about what happens next. How can we prevent another pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy? Can we even hope to accomplish this? Bill Gates believes the answer is yes, and he has written a largely upbeat book that lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should learn from COVID-19, explains the science of fighting pandemics, and suggests what all of us can do to help prevent another one. Given the worldwide success of How to Avoid a Climate Disaster (which debuted at #1 on the New York Times best seller list), Gates is more respected than ever for his approach to solving the world's biggest challenges.

過去50年經營管理的反思——如何轉危為安？ 品管大師戴明的傳世經典經營管理的百科全書變革必須從領導者做起，由上往下帶動，才有可能成功。 本書是品管大師戴明（W. Edwards Deming）留給世人的寶藏——關於品質、系統觀、經營管理的知識體系，還有，只用數字來管理員工將會帶來的禍害。 戴明的專長是統計品質管制（SQC，statistical quality control），身為統計學者，他重視「追本溯源」找出真正的問題，而不是「順流而下」只解決表象問題。他透過紅珠實驗（red bead experiment）和漏斗實驗（funnel experiment）提醒管理者，必須注意外力的介入與過度干預所造成的變異（variation）。管理者必須區分變異的發生是出於「共同原因」（common cause）或「特殊原因」（special cause），才能有助於減少變異。戴明認為「變異愈小，品質愈好」，一套能讓員工覺得受到肯定的制度，遠勝於以產量或數字衡量員工的表現，品質會從這個時間點開始，愈來愈好。 戴明提醒管理者必須熟知系統與變異理論，才能了解「只要超乎系統能力的一切作為，都只是徒勞無功」，以免過度迷信表面的數字，或是將未達數字目標的罪過歸咎於員工，卻忽略了潛在的危機。他再三強調，管理者有責任了解問題是出自「系統」還是「個人」；根據研究，一切作業上的問題，85%出自系統內部，而且應該由最高管理者承擔責任，只有15%的問題可歸咎於員工。 雖然戴明從統計的專業，認為凡事都應以數字為證據，不可過度依賴經驗或直覺，不過，他也提醒管理者，最重要的事情往往是無法測量的，設定配額、一日工作量與論件計酬等等的數字標準，可能會帶來禍害。根據他的研究，凡事只講求追求數字的配額制度，有八成的結果會導致效率降低、成本增加，甚至有些人不計手段以達成業績，不但傷害品質也造成公司聲譽受損。最重要的數字往往是那些看不見、無法取得的數字，像是來自滿意顧客的綜效、或是不滿意顧客造成的負面影響，就無法以數字估算。也因此，戴明很反對所謂的目標管理（MBO），反對設定目標然後根據達成率給予獎勵。他認為，按件計酬是人類最退化的手段，看似鼓勵人們增產，卻忽略了品質低落的殺傷力。 戴明說：「必須有勇氣，才能承認自己一直都做錯了某些事，承認自己有待學習，還有更好的方法。」當

近來，決策對個人也好，對企業也好，漸漸成為相當重要的課題。因為做錯了決策以致奪走企業壽命的例子屢見不鮮，此種傾向在不透明感愈形濃厚的現代社會中更為強烈。並且，隨著社會的系統化進展，決策的影響比以往更深且廣。決策必須是從複雜交織的要素中慎重的制訂出來。太單純的斷章取義恐有疏忽重要要素之風險，相反的利用太複雜的手法又很難臨機應變。究竟有無簡便的方法可以均衡的引進多樣要素呢？因應此要求所出現的方法即為AHP（Analytic Hierarchy Process：層級分析法）。此層級分析法為1971年匹茲堡大學教授沙第(Thomas L. Saaty）所發展出來，經過三十多年之發展，已成為現今決策領域中常見之決策工具。AHP是利用階層構造來掌握與決策有關聯的要素。利用階層圖、一對比較、重要度決定、計算綜合的重要度等之步驟加以展開、分析。讀本書時，請從理解第I篇的「基礎」開始。如果讀過一遍，請分析簡單的問題。然後再讀第II篇及後面的部分。透過其中所展開的種種事例，想必可以立即理解以遊戲感（Game feeling）進行決策的意義。本書的特徵以條列式來說，即為：．「使感性科學化」．「單刀直入的解說不明狀況」．「以遊戲感來下決策」．「對多樣化的價值觀探求應對之道」本書是AHP的入門圖解書，簡潔的解說基本並介紹許多應用事例，若想利用軟體分析，可前往相關網站下載相關軟體，如：Expert choice、Power choice或Superdecisions。

From a #1 New York Times bestselling illustrator comes a picture book to celebrate and remember the days we spent inside―the joys and the hardships, the bravery and the resilience, but most of all the love.This book, inspired by kids who found ways to stay connected to the people they love during the pandemic, is about what an imaginative, curious and loving little girl did when her world was turned inside out.The girl played inside, she learned inside, she waited inside. She talked on the phone to her Nan inside. Her days and nights were all inside, and she would think about what she missed outside―the running, cheering, splashing, hugging, and of course her Nan.Finally, when the girl could go outside, she was happy to be there―to hug her Nan, see her friends, and even climb a tree. But she had changed inside, and she knew she would always remember the small things and the big things that made that time special.Here is a picture book that will help young children remember, process, an

兩河流域的算術泥板、搜尋引擎、巡航定速…數學早已是人類文明進程中的要角。斯德哥爾摩大學最年輕的博士Stefan Buijsman以趣味十足，引人入勝的筆法，向讀者解釋生活中無處不在的數學概念，及數學與哲學、心理學、歷史背後的關聯。Thousands of years ago the inhabitants of Mesopotamia became the first to use numbers. Since then, mathematics has been unstoppable. It's behind almost everything, from search-engines to cruise-control, from coffee-makers to timetables.But now that we hardly ever need to do arithmetic, how relevant is mathematics to everyday life? Pluses and Minuses demonstrates the role mathematics plays in human endeavour. It answers questions such as: What is life without numbers? Is the usefulness of mathematics mere chance? How can we get a grip on uncertainty? Stefan Buijsman's richly entertaining guide makes connections between philosophy, psychology and history, while explaining the wonderful world of mathematics for absolutely everyone.Born in 1995, Stefan gained a master's degree in philosophy in Leiden at the age of eighteen, after which he moved from Sweden to work on a PhD.

自從《Cornelia Funke》的奇幻旅程之後，墨水世界變得更加危險。火舞人達斯特指已死，邪惡的白衣人奪取了統治權，整個故事也走向黑暗與悲劇。被困書中世界的梅琪與莫，陷入無法改寫的命運中；而留在現實世界的艾莉諾，也以為摯愛的家人永遠迷失書中。隨著冬季降臨，僅存的希望寄託於一場與「死亡」達成的危險交易上。《墨水死亡》是Cornelia Funke奇幻三部曲的最終章，深刻探問文字與命運的交織，一場關於救贖、勇氣與想像力的最後試煉。The third book in Cornelia Funke's internationally celebrated trilogy – magical, thrilling and mesmerising. 'I don't think I've ever read anything that conveys so well the joys, terrors and pitfalls of reading' Diana Wynne Jones on Inkheart Life in the Inkworld has been far from easy since the extraordinary events of Inkspell, when the story of Inkheart magically drew Meggie, Mo and Dustfinger back into its pages. With Dustfinger dead, and the evil Adderhead now in control, the story in which they are all caught has taken an unhappy turn.Even Elinor, left alone in the real world, believes her family to be lost – lost between the covers of a book. But as winter comes on there is reason to hope – if only Meggie and Mo can rewrite the wrongs of the past and make a dangerous p

This is the definitive story of the case against Jeffrey Epstein and the corrupt system that supported him, told in thrilling detail by the lawyer who has represented Epstein’s victims for more than a decade. In June 2008, Florida-based victims’ rights attorney Bradley J. Edwards was thirty-two years old and had just started his own law firm when a young woman named Courtney Wild came to see him.She told a shocking story of having been sexually coerced at the age of fourteen by a wealthy man in Palm Beach named Jeffrey Epstein. Edwards, who had never heard of Epstein, had no idea that this moment would change the course of his life. Over the next ten years, Edwards devoted himself to bringing Epstein to justice, and came close to losing everything in the process. Edwards tracked down and represented more than twenty of Epstein’s victims, and shined a light on his network of contacts and friends, among them Donald Trump, Bill Clinton, Ghislaine Maxwell and Prince Andrew.Edwards g

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。

《Spring Boot in Action》是一本專為熟悉 Spring Framework 的開發者所寫的實戰指南，聚焦於如何運用 Spring Boot 大幅簡化 Java 應用程式的開發流程。Spring Boot 以「約定優於設定」為核心理念，讓開發者跳過繁瑣的組態工作，快速啟動專案，將心力集中在應用程式的行為與商業邏輯上。作者 Craig Walls 以多年 Spring 開發與教學經驗，透過清楚且實用的範例，說明如何有效運用 Spring Boot 的自動組態機制，同時在需要時進行客製化調整。書中涵蓋測試、部署、Actuator 監控、命令列工具（CLI）、以及與 Groovy、Grails 的整合應用，完整呈現 Spring Boot 在實務開發中的優勢。本書內容務實、節奏明快，適合希望提升開發效率、減少設定負擔的 Java 與 Spring 開發者閱讀，是理解與上手 Spring Boot 的重要入門與進階參考。Although Spring Framework simplifies enterprise Java development, it can require a lot from developers in terms of framework configuration. Spring Boot radically streamlines the process of creating Spring applications by employing automatic configuration, along with a programming model built around established conventions for build-time and runtime dependencies. It also provides a component that gives insight into the internals of a running application and a handy CLI that can be used to write command-line scripts in Groovy. Developers who have used Spring Boot say that th
