Virginia Woolf's first fully realized work of fiction--published in its final, revised form for the first time A beguiling trio of fantastical and farcical anti-fairy tales about a giantess who builds a magical "cottage of one's own," battles a silver-scaled sea monster, and defies governesses and gravity alike In 1907, eight years before she published her first novel, a twenty-five-year-old Virginia Woolf drafted three interconnected comic stories chronicling the adventures of a giantess named Violet--a teasing tribute to Woolf's friend Mary Violet Dickinson. But it was only in 2022 that Woolf scholar Urmila Seshagiri discovered a final, revised typescript of the stories. The typescript revealed that Woolf had finished this mock-biography, making it her first fully realized literary experiment and a work that anticipates her later masterpieces. Published here for the first time in its final form, The Life of Violet blends fantasy, fairy tale, and satire as it transports readers into a

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

本書序言前一版是 2015 年出的，10 年來科技變化非常大，自己也嘗試在機械設計課程中加入智慧 科技元素，像是物聯網、機器學習、生成式 AI 等等，逐漸把這門課教成「智慧產品設計 (smart product design)」。當下也就決定再改寫一版，在機械 設計課本裡增加智慧科技內容。科技變化速度飛快，現在的內容也許幾年後 讀起來就會像石器時代的古老技術，但還是期望能呈現這個時代打開智慧科 技大門的鑰匙。這些新科技給我衝擊最大的，應該是生成式 AI 的出現。生成式 AI 工 具可近性高、使用簡單、成本相對低廉，大幅降低應用門檻，幾乎已稱得上 是「普惠科技」；各種生成式 AI 模型不斷推陳出新，展現出幾年前難以想像 的能力。自己的教學和研究工作越來越仰賴生成式 AI，隨時在網路上找 AI 請教、討論問題；新版教科書寫作的過程也是如此，幾乎每一頁的內容都和 AI 討論、確認，課本中的例題、習題即使有相當的複雜度，AI 也可以逐步 詳細計算一次，協助驗證課本內容是否正確。本書特色本教材涵蓋設計方法、機械元件、機電整合、結構設計、電腦輔助設計等單元，並嘗試加入物聯網、機器學習、生成式AI等元素，且提供多個設計實作計畫串聯各章。教材內容側重廣度而不強調深度，重視應用而不強調理論，期望為同學們建立一個「機械設計工具箱」，能夠正確應用這些設計工具，並且也有足夠能力自行深入探索。
