A beautiful and moving testament to the enduring life of Kobe Bryant and the Mamba Mentality.When Kobe and Gianna Bryant died, tragically and unexpectedly, in 2020, the world mourned with a wholehearted ferocity. In perhaps the largest and most intense outpouring of public art the world has ever seen, murals went up on seemingly every available wall in Los Angeles and around the globe. The paintings were both professional and amateur, some public and some private, many of them colossal. All of them expressed love and respect for Kobe and Gianna Bryant as athletes, as a father and daughter, as heroes who will not be forgotten.In Mamba & Mambacita Forever, Vanessa Bryant brings together the images and stories of more than a hundred murals honoring her husband and daughter. Taken together, what emerges is the story of a man who became even more than he himself could have imagined, an avatar of determination, discipline, and competitiveness. He was also a worldwide icon, one of the gre

Equal parts Sapiens, Behave, and Superintelligence, but wholly original in scope, A Brief History of Intelligence offers a paradigm shift for how we understand neuroscience and AI. Artificial intelligence entrepreneur Max Bennett chronicles the five "breakthroughs" in the evolution of human intelligence and reveals what brains of the past can tell us about the AI of tomorrow. In the last decade, capabilities of artificial intelligence that had long been the realm of science fiction have, for the first time, become our reality. AI is now able to produce original art, identify tumors in pictures, and even steer our cars. And yet, large gaps remain in what modern AI systems can achieve--indeed, human brains still easily perform intellectual feats that we can't replicate in AI systems. How is it possible that AI can beat a grandmaster at chess but can't effectively load a dishwasher? As AI entrepreneur Max Bennett compellingly argues, finding the answer requires diving into the billion-yea

(內容簡介)讀寫能力，是二十一世紀知識社會的共通貨幣讀寫能力，是二十一世紀知識社會的共通貨幣。讀寫能力不足，將難以參與並融入這個社會。普及讀寫教育，是社會公平的基石，在升學壓力以及屏幕產品圍攻的大環境下，扭轉讀寫教育所面臨的危機，比以往更為迫切。本書提供美國讀寫教育的現場實作，可以帶給臺灣諸多觀念上的啟發，重新思考讀寫教育的價值。──✦──讀寫教育不必等到入學以後才開始美國小兒科醫學會指出，親子共讀可以從六個月大開始；美國幼教協會（National Associaion of Education for Young Children）指出，寫作練習可以從兩歲開始。讀與寫應該從小成為生活的一部分，寫作練習也不必很困難複雜。例如給寶寶一支蠟筆，讓他們邊聽故事邊塗鴉，培養「把想法形諸紙張」的意識，就是最早的寫作練習。──✦──讀與寫，能讓大腦變聰明！愈早開始愈好美國國民教育為十三年，從Kindergarten開始，通常簡寫為K，相當於臺灣學制中的幼兒園大班。各州學制稍有不同，小學通常是一到五年級、中學是六到八年級、高中是九到十二年級。因此本書的「學前」是指五歲以下，「小學中低年級」是K到二年級，「小學中高年級」是三到五年級，「中學」是六到八年級，「高中」是九到十二年級，「大學」及「成人教育」則與臺灣相同。這六個階段，都各有適齡的讀寫教育方案與目標。本書以年齡段劃分為六章，逐章介紹這六個階段的真實現場：第一章介紹零歲到學前的讀寫教育，說明讀寫教育應該儘早開始。雖然親子共讀日漸普及，但幼兒閱讀力差距仍然存在，本章展示了弭平差距的實際做法。例如，紐約一群兒科醫師，對帶幼兒來看診的高風險家庭，除了指導家長理解嬰幼兒發展指標，也請家長與孩子一起閱讀，增進親密互動。經過評估，參加「閱讀療法」的孩子，比沒有參加的孩子，有更好的學習力與專注力，出現分離焦慮、過動、暴力的比例也最低。研究顯示，閱讀是零歲開始讓大腦變聰明的最佳預防醫學。第二章進一步綜合相關研究，探討讀寫教育如何改變成長中的大腦結構。專家與學校為K到二年級這階段的學生設計讀寫系列課程，發現經過三個月練習，孩子們不但讀寫力進步，斷層掃描更顯示「大腦結構有明顯改變」、「與記憶理解有關的皮質增厚」，證實讀寫教育能改變大腦結構，讓孩子「變聰明」，學習力因而提升。並介紹美國小學中低年級的教學現場，如何為學生的讀寫力打下好基礎。第三章說明

◎愛，能讓苦難有重量，也能讓重量變成意義。◎母親的背影，寫下最真實的「即自由」。◎掙扎不是絕望，而是生命教會我們的另一種溫柔。沒有掙扎 只有爭(ㄓㄥ)乚(ㄧㄣˇ)No struggles Only structure & go家家有本難的唸經，每個人都有自己的人生課題，生命的意義倒底是什麼？你也在掙扎嗎？Every family has its own story, and every life presents its own unique lessons. What does life mean to you? Are you struggling to find your way?這是一個長期照顧者的故事，一段關於愛、成長與生命的旅程。長照悲歌？安樂死？一起爭(ㄓㄥ)乚(ㄧㄣˇ)吧！This is a long-term caregiver's journey of love and growth. It's about moving beyond the shadows of caregiving and the tough questions of life and death, to discover the hidden purpose within "struggle"―a concept deeply understood as both structure and go."十年前的一場意外，徹底改變了作者的家庭。父親因車禍腦傷，從此失去自理能力，母親則以無比的毅力與愛心，承擔了漫長的照顧責任。這段日子裡，作者同時面臨養育孩子與陪伴父母的壓力，心中無數次感到無力與迷惘。然而，在一次次掙扎之中，他逐漸明白，生命的價值並不在於逃避痛苦，而是在於如何面對它。母親以日復一日的付出證明，愛不求回報，愛能讓人堅強，而我也學會專注與自律，在有限的人生裡找到自己的位置――掙扎不是失敗，而是一種成長，要學會在自己的故事裡，看見愛與希望。◎代理經銷：白象文化更多精彩內容請見http://www.pressstore.com.tw/freereading/9786263647275.pdf
