Practical Natural Language Processing

本書特色＊Introducing key concepts such as religion, humanity, ideology and education through literature in the Turkish context＊Helping the readers to see and to appreciate the insights of scholars from different research areas, especially literature, education, language teaching.序【Acknowledgements】 I want to thank Mr. Michael Song, the President of Showwe publishing house (Taipei, Taiwan), for his great support and his encouragement for getting academic writings published in Taiwan. Also, my thanks go to Ms. Irene Cheng, Ms. Lestat Yin, and the whole editorial team of Showwe.【Preface】 In the Turkish context, how can one see the relations among key concepts such as education, literature and culture? Thinking about Turkey and comparing it to Europe or to Asia, one realises that Turkey is non of them -- and yet, Turkey is also all of them. It represents a vision in a way which it is not specifically inclusive or exclusive. It does not take everything in. But if it takes something in, it giv

The first exhaustive English-language history and analysis of the Chinese opera genre, Kunqu. In Kunqu: A Classical Opera of Twenty-First-Century China, Joseph S. C. Lam offers a holistic and interdisciplinary view of Kunqu, a 600-year-old genre of Chinese opera that has been fashionably performed inside and outside of China. The first comprehensive and scholarly book on Kunqu written in English, this book explains how and why the genre charms and signifies Chinese culture, history, and personhood. Approaching the genre from several perspectives, ranging from those of performers and producers to those of casual audiences, dedicated connoisseurs, and scholarly critics, Lam also employs a judicious blend of Chinese and international theories and methods. Herein, he establishes the significance of Kunqu not only in the sphere of Chinese music but among the cultural heritage and performing arts at a global level as well.

◆第一本由台灣本土企劃編撰的自然酒專刊；◆葡萄酒大師林裕森策劃編撰，攜手海內外酒界職人，與國內最具規模的自然酒展「喝 自然Buvons Nature」；◆一本書理解近年全球葡萄酒爭相回歸原始的「陶罐釀造」風潮；◆認識混種與混釀、Pét-Nat自然派氣泡酒、泡皮橘酒和氧化培養等神祕用語；◆追蹤最前衛的本土釀造實驗計劃，與在地喝陶罐的最佳建議與指引；◆與世界一起前行，追尋純粹的風土滋味。現代釀酒科技的發展，讓釀酒師可以更安全有效率地控制葡萄酒的釀造，但在方便之餘卻也遺失了許多耗時費工的傳統手造技藝。近年來，低干預少添加的自然派釀酒風潮興起，讓一些曾經被現代科技取代，日漸消失的舊時古法，如混種與混釀、Pét-Nat自然派氣泡酒、泡皮橘酒和氧化培養等等，都逐漸地被重新找回來，不僅是復舊，也融入現代的酒窖中，釀成既復古又創新的滋味。陶罐是最古老的釀酒容器，八千多年前在高加索地區就被用來釀造最原始自然的葡萄酒。沿用數千年的陶罐雖然逐漸為木槽、水泥槽和不鏽鋼槽所取代，但卻不曾消失，在喬治亞和葡萄牙等地的鄉間，仍然有自釀自飲的農家將此悠遠的釀酒經驗傳承下來。在過去二十多年間，自然派釀酒師重新學習用陶罐釀酒，用不同形狀和燒製溫度的陶罐釀成許多帶礦石與鹹感的創新風味。讓這個以黏土燒製的古老容器成為近年來最重要的釀酒新風潮，影響所及甚至超越自然派，也為許多經典酒莊所採用。繼《飲．自然Natural Wine：獻給自然派愛好者的葡萄酒誌 no.1》之後，葡萄酒大師森裕林策劃的新一期內容將以「陶罐酒的復興之路」為主題，從各種層面介紹這股從復古中創新的自然酒潮流，以及這股潮流如何在台灣發散影響，甚至落地生根，長出屬於我們自己的土地滋味，包括陶罐的歷史由來、最新發展，精選推薦酒款，人物訪談，全球活動連結，以及本地陶罐酒購買資訊及品飲建議等，幫助葡萄酒愛好者走入火與土的葡萄酒世界。

In today’s Buddhist sphere, numerous claims have been made on what the Buddha has taught. However, were these teachings truly spoken by the Buddha? The Buddha-Dharma: Pure and Simple series is an exploration of over 300 topics, where Venerable Master Hsing Yun clarifies the Buddha’s teachings in a way that is accessible and relevant to modern readers. Erroneous Buddhist views should be corrected, the true meaning of the Buddha must be preserved to hold true to the original intents of the Buddha. All Buddhist practice begins with right view, for it is the compass that points toward the true path of cultivation. This fifth installment continues laying the groundwork of this foundation by addressing age-old misconceptions. Covering a wide range of social issues from the perspective of the Buddha-Dharma, Venerable Master offers readers a practical but profound approach to Buddhist practice in daily life.
