★ 被遺忘的影像寶庫，揭開法國科學與工業創新的視覺歷史★ 從戰爭研究到日常生活，見證影像如何改變人類世界★ 科學×設計×影像，一部跨越時代的視覺文化之書1916年至1939年間，法國在國家政策推動下，大量生產科學與工業研究相關的影像與影片。這些長期被忽視的資料，不只是紀錄，更是見證創新歷程的珍貴視窗。本書帶領讀者回到那個動盪又充滿實驗精神的年代，從戰爭與國防需求出發，逐步轉向民生與日常生活，描繪出一段影像與科技交織的歷史。那些看似冷靜理性的紀錄影像，卻同時蘊含驚人的美學張力，也揭示了研究制度如何逐步被建立與規範。當攝影與影像被用於展示、教育與傳播，甚至成為知識的載體，人類對世界的理解也隨之改變。本書不僅回顧一段歷史，更讓我們重新思考：影像如何塑造我們所認知的「真實」。Between 1916 and 1939 thousands of films and photographs were produced in France, in line with the national policy encouraging scientific and industrial research. These largely unknown images stand as visual witnesses to twenty years of invention and research. Their analog archives trace through the history of innovation, anchored at first in war and national defence, before shifting towards civilian and domestic life.This history, interlaced with design, lies at the crossroads of science, technology and industry. The images also tell a story that is still unfolding today, that of the institutionalisation of research. From the very beginning a systematic

「建築計畫者」是鮮少耳聞的職業，工作內容是為建築設計的前提條件進行設計整理的前置作業：和業主詳細地協調溝通，製作設施的面積表與機能圖解（diagram），有時會從設計者的選定開始、到空間設計及營運條件的設定一路負責到底。若拿與建築設計有許多共同點的電影製作作為類比，就容易理解這個工作性質吧，也就是建築師＝電影導演；建築計畫者＝編劇。電影導演需要統合攝影、音響、照明、服裝等各方面專家，這和建築師管理

Yet the proof of evolution by natural selection is vast, varied, and magnificent. In this succinct and accessible summary of the facts supporting the theory of natural selection, Jerry A. Coyne dispels common misunderstandings and fears about evolution and clearly confirms the scientific truth that supports this amazing process of change. Weaving together the many threads of modern work in genetics, paleontology, geology, molecular biology, and anatomy that demonstrate the "indelible stamp" of the processes first proposed by Da

翻開品牌叢書，幾乎所有的書上都會談及品牌形象和品牌設計，但幾乎?有一本書試圖將它們區分開來，而是籠統地冠之以“品牌形象設計”、“品牌形象策劃” 等標題。的確，品牌設計和品牌形象緊密相關，因為設計的辨識形象，而形象也離不開設計，要準確的講兩者區別開來幾乎是不可能的。但這並不是說兩者可以混為一談，尤其是在本書中，品牌設計和品牌形象的區分更有其必要性。
