內容簡介:網站、App與資訊空間 「在這本書初版問世之時，我是極少數擁有『資訊架構師』職稱的人。當時這本書就如同對我的工作的認可，而且意義重大；現在第四版上市了，我依然有同樣的感受。將近廿年過去，資訊架構比以前更有意義也更為必要，這本書同樣是如此。」 - Karen McGrane, 執行合夥人，Bond Art + Science 「對任何參與數位資訊空間設計的人，這是我第一會推薦的書。」 -

環境保護及永續發展不僅是世界各國政府公部門的問題，也是私部門的問題，更是民眾切身相關的問題。在極端的環境問題背後，如果能有一本可以詳盡介紹環境科學各面向的書，則可更系統性地了解環境問題。幸運地，Cunningham 教授的《環境科學概論》(Principles of Environmental Science: inquiry and Application, 8e) 正是這樣的一本書。本書內容除

網路經濟可以創造附加價值，而對GDP有所貢獻，但網路經濟也會取代和摧毀一些舊有的經濟，其對GDP的淨貢獻大小必須進一步考察。本文以臺灣加上OECD國家共35國的跨時追蹤資料（panel data )為樣本，利用兩階段最小平方法來估計固網寬頻滲透率對每人實質GDP的影響。結果是：固網寬頻滲透率對每一工作年齡者的實質GDP成長有顯著的正向影響，但其影響幅度不算太大。這個結果似乎和網路科技興盛以來各國勞

★ 前華爾街量化分析師揭露：演算法如何操控你的未來★ 大數據黑暗面全面曝光：看不見的歧視與不公平我們以為世界正變得更公平——由機器取代人類做決策，似乎能消除偏見。但真相，可能正好相反。在這個「演算法主宰」的時代，你能否錄取學校、拿到工作、申請貸款，甚至保險費率高低，都悄悄被一套看不見的數學模型決定。這些系統看似客觀，卻無法被檢驗，也無從質疑，一旦出錯，影響卻會層層放大。數學家暨資料科學家凱西．歐尼爾，以親身經驗揭開大數據的陰暗面：這些模型不只沒有消除不平等，反而強化既有的階級與歧視，讓弱勢更難翻身。本書如同一場警醒之旅，帶你看見科技背後不為人知的權力運作。NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A former Wall Street quant sounds the alarm on Big Data and the mathematical models that threaten to rip apart our social fabric—with a new afterword“A manual for the twenty-first-century citizen . . . relevant and urgent.”—Financial TimesNATIONAL BOOK AWARD LONGLIST • NAMED ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR BY The New York Times Book Review • The Boston Globe • Wired • Fortune • Kirkus Reviews • The Guardian • Nature • On PointWe live in the age of the algorithm.

Presenting a global and interdisciplinary approach to plant ecology, this much-awaited new edition of the book Plants and Vegetation integrates classical themes with the latest ideas, models, and data. Keddy draws on extensive teaching experience to bring the field to life, guiding students through essential concepts with numerous real-world examples and full-colour illustrations throughout. The chapters begin by presenting the wider picture of the origin of plants and their impact on the Earth, before exploring the search for global patterns in plants and vegetation. Chapters on resources, stress, competition, herbivory, and mutualism explore causation, and a concluding chapter on conservation addresses the concern that one-third of all plant species are at risk of extinction. The scope of this edition is broadened further by a new chapter on population ecology, along with extensive examples including South African deserts, the Guyana Highlands of South America, Himalayan forests and

David Card and Alan B. Krueger have already made national news with their pathbreaking research on the minimum wage. Here they present a powerful new challenge to the conventional view that higher minimum wages reduce jobs for low-wage workers. In a work that has important implications for public policy as well as for the direction of economic research, the authors put standard economic theory to the test, using data from a series of recent episodes, including the 1992 increase in New Jersey's minimum wage, the 1988 rise in California's minimum wage, and the 1990-91 increases in the federal minimum wage. In each case they present a battery of evidence showing that increases in the minimum wage lead to increases in pay, but no loss in jobs.A distinctive feature of Card and Krueger's research is the use of empirical methods borrowed from the natural sciences, including comparisons between the "treatment" and "control" groups formed when the minimum wag

Public perceptions of political ethics are at the heart of current political debate. Drawing on original data, this book is the first general account of popular understandings of political ethics in contemporary British politics. It offers new insights into how citizens understand political ethics and integrity and how they form judgments of their leaders. By locating these insights against the backdrop of contemporary British political ethics, the book shows how current institutional preoccupations with standards of conduct all too often miss the mark. While the use of official resources is the primary focus of much regulation, politicians' consistency, frankness and sincerity, which citizens tend to see in terms of right and wrong, are treated as 'normal politics'. The authors suggest that new approaches may need to be adopted if public confidence in politicians' integrity is to be restored.

Is the science of moral cognition usefully modelled on aspects of Universal Grammar? Are human beings born with an innate 'moral grammar' that causes them to analyse human action in terms of its moral structure, with just as little awareness as they analyse human speech in terms of its grammatical structure? Questions like these have been at the forefront of moral psychology ever since John Mikhail revived them in his influential work on the linguistic analogy and its implications for jurisprudence and moral theory. In this seminal book, Mikhail offers a careful and sustained analysis of the moral grammar hypothesis, showing how some of John Rawls' original ideas about the linguistic analogy, together with famous thought experiments like the trolley problem, can be used to improve our understanding of moral and legal judgement.

HarperCollins is proud to present its new range of best-loved, essential classics′All human beings, as we meet them, are commingled out of good and evil.′After taking an elixir created in his laboratory, mild mannered Dr Jekyll is transformed into the cruel and despicable Mr Hyde. Although seemingly harmless at first, things soon descend into chaos and Jekyll quickly realises there is only one way to stop Hyde. Stevenson′s quintessential novella of the Victorian era epitomizes the conflict between psychology, science and religious morality, but is fundamentally a triumphant study of the duality of human nature.

Computer graphics is a vast field that is becoming larger every day. It is impossible to cover every topic of interest, even within a specialization such as CG rendering. For many years, Noriko Kurachi has reported on the latest developments for Japanese readers in her monthly column for CG World. Being something of a pioneer herself, she selected topics that represented original and promising new directions for research. Many of these novel ideas are the topics covered in The Magic of Computer Graphics.Starting from the basic behavior of light, the first section of the book introduces the most useful techniques for global and local illumination using geometric descriptions of an environment. The second section goes on to describe image-based techniques that rely on captured data to do their magic. In the final section, the author looks at the synthesis of these two complementary approaches and what they mean for the future of computer graphics.

Despite their apparently divergent accounts of higher cognition, cognitive theories based on neural computation and those employing symbolic computation can in fact strengthen one another. To substantiate this controversial claim, this landmark work develops in depth a cognitive architecture based in neural computation but supporting formally explicit higher-level symbolic descriptions, including new grammar formalisms.Detailed studies in both phonology and syntax provide arguments that these grammatical theories and their neural network realizations enable deeper explanations of early acquisition, processing difficulty, cross-linguistic typology, and the possibility of genomically encoding universal principles of grammar. Foundational questions concerning the explanatory status of symbols for central problems such as the unbounded productivity of higher cognition are also given proper treatment.The work is made accessible to scholars in different fields of cognitive science through tu

A tree that sheds poison daggers; a glistening red seed that stops the heart; a shrub that causes paralysis, a vine that strangles; and a leaf that triggered a war. Amy Stewart takes on over two hundred of Mother Nature's most appalling creations in an A to Z of plants that kill, maim, intoxicate, and otherwise offend.Menacing botanical illustrations render a ghastly portrait of evildoers that may be lurking in your own backyard.

The Italian Renaissance was preceded, structured, and, to a significant extent, determined by the Renaissance of the twelfth century which saw the culmination of Romanesque art and the beginnings of the Gothic; the emergence of vernacular languages; the revival of Latin classics, poetry, and Roman law; the recovery of Greek Science and much Greek philosophy; the origins of universities, towns, and the sovereign state.
