本書描寫十二歲的 Sonnet，在失去奶奶後，與家人搬回祖父身邊生活。曾經繁盛的蘋果園，如今只剩下一棵老樹，靜靜見證家族的變遷。Sonnet 不願面對衰老與失去，只希望一切能維持原樣。偏偏在學校的口述歷史作業中，她被迫與鄰居 Zeke 分組，還要讓祖父成為訪談對象。Zeke 的提問一再觸碰她刻意避開的過往，也讓家族深藏的傷痛逐漸浮現。當一場意外迫使兩人再次合作，Sonnet 開始明白，真正的修復並非遺忘，而是願意回頭凝視。作者以雙視角鋪陳故事，讓衝突、理解與和解自然發生，呈現一段溫柔而深刻的成長歷程。When feuding neighbors Sonnet and Zeke are paired up for a class project, they unearth a secret that could uproot Sonnet's family--or allow it to finally heal and grow.

A FRESH, FUNNY, UP-CLOSE LOOK AT HOW SOUTH KOREA REMADE ITSELF AS THE WORLD'S POP CULTURE POWERHOUSE OF THE TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY By now, everyone in the world knows the song "Gangnam Style" and Psy, an instantly recognizable star. But the song's international popularity is no passing fad.

In this open access book, Carlos Montemayor illuminates the development of artificial intelligence (AI) by examining our drive to live a dignified life. He uses the notions of agency and attention to consider our pursuit of what is important. His method shows how the best way to guarantee value alignment between humans and potentially intelligent machines is through attention routines that satisfy similar needs.Setting out a theoretical framework for AI Montemayor acknowledges its legal, moral, and political implications and takes into account how epistemic agency differs from moral agency. Through his insightful comparisons between human and animal intelligence, Montemayor makes it clear why adopting a need-based attention approach justifies a humanitarian framework. This is an urgent, timely argument for developing AI technologies based on international human rights agreements.The ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycolle

The GNH ideology of Bhutan acts as a catalyst for happiness, challenging the dominant paradigm of economic development as the sole metric of progress and prompting individuals to reassess the true essence of happiness in life. It calls upon governments to integrate happiness into policy planning. We believe that Bhutan's Gross National Happiness concept is not only relevant to Bhutan but also serves as an important reference for every country and the entire world to pursue happiness and well-being.Moving ahead, there is anticipation that alongside national happiness indices, a collective "Gross Earth Happiness" index could emerge, enhancing the overall well-being of humanity and nurturing a more harmonious cosmic civilization within the galaxy!不丹的GNH思想，宛如幸福的火種，改變人類以經濟為發展單一量尺的價值觀，啟發人們重新省思生命的幸福，促使政府將幸福納入政策規劃。我們認為不丹的國家幸福力思想，不只針對不丹，更能作為世界上的每一個國家及全體地球創發幸福的重要參考。期待在未來，除了各國的幸福力，更能成全地球加總的「地球幸福力」，形成整體文明的幸福指數，在銀河中創造更美好的宇宙文明！

The origins of the F-35 and the amazing challenges the industry had to be overcome go back to a still-secret NATO study that evaluated the vulnerability of air force bases in the West.This spurred development for Short Take off and Vertical Landing (STOVL) fighter aircraft. Only two aircraft with this capability actually entered service, the British Harrier and the Russian Yak-38. However, these aircraft lacked supersonic capability which made them vulnerable to faster fighters. So a programme was initiated for a supersonic STOVL fighter - but the trail of unsuccessful efforts was long. NASA, as well as the defense Evaluation and Research Agency and private industry, studied advanced STOVL propulsion ideas but without tangible result. It was only when the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, at the request of the Marine Corps, issued study contracts for a supersonic STOVL fighter to American industry that real progress began to be made.It was Lockheed Martin that came up finally

Longquan wares were made mainly in Zhejiang province over a period of over sixteen hundred years, from the 3rd to the 19th centuries. There are two outstanding features of the beautiful Longquan ceramics, one is that the body is made of porcelain, and the other, that the glaze contains kaolin in its composition. This gives Longquan ware unique colour and quality.The body is smooth and dense, the glaze either unctuous or shiny, the colour a myriad shades of kingfisher blue and jade green. The result of development of porcelain technology at Longquan was a tough, attractive, and versatile celadon material that was ideally suited for export. Longquan vessels found their way to a variety of markets around the world, from royal palaces to common dwellings.During the Yuan dynasty a peak in quantity was reached, with more than 150 kiln sites overall. Many new decoration techniques and forms of mass production for global exports emerged, until production almost expired entirely during the late

ONE OF THE MOST SPOKEN DIALECTS in China, Southeast Asia, and globally, Cantonese was nevertheless deemed a local dialect enjoying little prestige among the intellectuals. Not much was recorded in official documents or gazetteers about the early history of Hong Kong. The Cantonese language and its origin remained much of a mystery until the mid-20th century when scholars started to accord it with increasing attention. Thanks to dedicated efforts of early missionaries, pedagogues, and linguists, we can now trace back the evolution of modern Cantonese since the 19th century— how differences in sounds, words, and grammar distinguish the old from contemporary speech today. In this book, Hung-nin Samuel Cheung, an acclaimed scholar on the study of Cantonese, offers profound insights to various firsthand century-old materials including language manuals, Bible translations, and maps of Hong Kong, with findings that will be useful for ongoing efforts to study the development of

專利的存在是為了保護創意和專業， 極端資本主義卻讓它成為公平正義的絆腳石。 本書審視從專利出現到新冠疫苗競賽的醫藥壟斷史， 解釋公共科學私有化導致醫藥界重視利潤甚於人類健康， 更揭露蓋茲基金會在疫苗供應危機中扮演的關鍵角色！ 《藥品帝國》講述人類歷史上最有爭議的其中一場鬥爭，其標的是生產救命藥品的合法權利。醫學最初是一門追求改善全人類生活的學科，但研究與智慧財產權結合，加上製藥業崛起，扭曲並最終破壞了醫學的道德基礎。自第二次世界大戰以來，美國政府資助的研究促成了多數重大醫學突破，但相關藥品往往完全由哄抬藥價、國際野心日盛的私營企業控制。為什麼美國政府以公眾的名義資助醫學的發展，卻把醫學研究成果的獨家權利送給製藥公司？這種制度如何掠奪我們的財富、使我們難以有效應對危機，以及在遇到愛滋病和新型冠狀病毒危機時危害世界的安全？ 亞歷山大・柴契克這本開創性的歷史著作概述多個世代的公共衛生和公共科學倡導者如何致力抗衡大藥廠和它們在政府中的盟友，記錄了醫學私有化如何發生於美國，然後全球化。本書從揮舞專利權的德國藥廠19世紀末進入美國市場、引起爭議，講到眼下製藥業如何與慈善組織（包括影響力龐大的蓋茲基金會）合作，阻礙了國際間促進新冠病毒疫苗接種的努力，為讀者講述了我們這個時代最重要但最鮮為人知的其中一段歷史。 【各界好評】 「想熟悉藥品的前世今生，但卻步於專有名詞與醫法論辯的讀者而言，本書提供嗆辣帶勁的庶民論述，從專利與壟斷的角度切入製藥業的光影，為大家注入面對當代醫藥巨靈，應對產業操作虛實的智識能量。」――郭文華，國立陽明交通大學科技與社會研究所╱公共衛生研究所教授 「《藥品帝國》提出重要的問題和論點，引人深思，是你現在必須閱讀的一本書。」――泰莉．史利琴邁爾（Terri Schlichenmeyer），《哥申新聞》（The Goshen News） 「醫藥專利壟斷興起的歷史極其複雜，但柴契克成功講述了這段歷史，告訴我們制度化的科學和醫學自20世紀初以來發生了多大的變化。」――尼可拉斯．格雷森．華德（Nicholas Greyson Ward），《進步》雜誌（The Progressive） 「部分是智慧財產權的歷史，部分是嚴厲的批判⋯⋯柴契克這本書內容豐富，讀來令人深感不安。」――《圖書館期刊》（Library Journal） 「勇氣可嘉的及時提醒⋯⋯有力地說明了將醫學知識變
