How fast can you hit a speed bump while driving and live? If there was a robot apocalypse, how long would humanity last? What if everyone only had one soulmate?

Hong Kong and Macau have both been Special Administrative Regions of China since 1999. To this day, however, the two SARs and mainland China have yet to form a cohesive agreement for extradition. Yanhong Yin proposes a theoretical model—the China Arrest Warrant—that fulfils three essential criteria: compliance with the framework of “One Country, Two Systems,” allowance for differences within the three divergent legal systems, and sufficient human rights protection.This model takes direct inspiration from the European Arrest Warrant, which is undergirded by the principle of mutual recognition—the idea that while states may make different decisions on a wide range of matters, results will be accepted as equivalent to decisions made by one’s own state. The success of the European Union’s adoption of mutual recognition across political, economic, and legal situations is instrumental in providing a blueprint for judicial cooperation among mainland China, Hong Kong SAR, and Macau SAR. This a

During the nineteenth century, the transpacific world underwent profound transformation, due to the transition from sail to steam navigation that was accompanied by a concomitant reconfiguration of power. This book explores the ways in which diverse Mexican, British, Chinese, and Japanese interests participated, particularly during Porfirio Díaz’s presidency at the peak of Mexico’s participation in the steam network: from its 1860s outset through a time of many revolutionary changes ending with the World War, the Mexican Revolution, the opening of the Panama Canal, and the introduction of a new maritime technology based on vessels run by oil. These transoceanic exchanges, generated within these new geographies of power, contributed not only to the formation of a transpacific region but also to refashioning the Mexican national imaginary. With transnationalism, global and migration studies as its main framework, this study draws upon a dazzling array of primary sources to center Mexico’

The Hong Kong Cemetery in Happy Valley is home to over 470 graves connected to the city’s Japanese population. Most of these graves belong to individuals who died during the Meiji era (1868–1912), a remarkable period of modernisation and opening up of Japan that saw thousands of its inhabitants travel to other parts of the world to study, work, and settle. Who were these people? What were they doing in Hong Kong? And why were unbaptised Japanese buried in what was called at one time the ‘Protestant Cemetery’?Hong Kong’s Meiji-era Japanese community was one of two halves. Company executives sat atop the social ladder and karayuki-san, or prostitutes, occupied the lower echelons, with tradespeople and professionals somewhere in between. By revealing the personal journeys of these mostly forgotten Japanese, the authors aim to add to transnational perspectives on Hong Kong and Japan during the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, as well as increase recognition of this fragmented

「不投林白就是選擇戰爭！」預言美國後九一一與川普時代的警鐘之書◆HBO迷你劇集《美國外史》改編原作◆◆《紐約時報》二十一世紀百大選書 #60 ◆◆2005年美國歷史學家協會歷史小說獎得主◆（Society of American Historians Prize for Historical Fiction）在這些所有記憶中，永久盤據的恐懼勝過了一切。當然，沒有人的童年是完全沒有恐懼的，但我總想，如果林白沒有當選總統，或如果我不是猶太人的孩子，會不會少一點恐懼？一九四〇年，時年七歲的男孩菲利普．羅斯，與任保險業務員的父親、家庭主婦的母親及富有藝術天分的哥哥同住在紐華克市的威奎依猶太社區，和樂融融。菲利普受美國最著名的集郵家羅斯福總統啟發，從小熱中集郵，最大的願望就是收集到人人稱羨不已的夢幻郵票。一切都在林白上台後改變。羅斯福在總統大選中慘敗給這位年輕氣盛的傳奇飛行英雄，退隱故居；林白則與阿道夫．希特勒及軸心國結盟，誓言不讓這個偉大的國家捲入世界大戰，以此捍衛美國的核心價值。劇變衝擊了羅斯一家，在一次目睹父親崩潰嚎哭之後，菲利普知道快樂的童年一去不返，從今以後只剩恐懼。這裡，從來不是他的國家。美國當代名家菲利普．羅斯遊走虛實之間，以其尖銳筆鋒重返二戰時空，從「可能的美國」當中思及美國浩瀚、多樣性的複雜面貌。◆聯合推薦黃崇凱 小說家蔡易澄 作家顏擇雅 出版人、作家◆各界推薦「菲利普．羅斯再次出版了一本你必須一讀的小說，現在就讀……出色的傑作。」——《基督科學箴言報》（The Christian Science Monitor）「這不是預言，而是夢魘；隨著故事推進，夢魘越來越可怕，同時也變得越來越可笑、越來越詭異……迂迴而又高明的作品。」——《紐約客》（The New Yorker）「貼身觀察到各個角色陷入了社會上最深沉、最苦澀的壓力當中，會是如何……這本書就是最高明的折磨手段，讓人無法放下。」——《新聞週刊》（Newsweek）「（羅斯的聲音）從未如此細膩……精雕細琢地如此美麗……一名小說家在這四十五年來一直不斷改造自己，而《反美陰謀》就是最為出色的作品。」——《波士頓全球報》（The Boston Globe）「傑出之作……羅斯的文筆優美而有力，旋繞著、起舞著、憤怒著……似乎從來沒有如此精確而明朗。」——《沃斯堡星報》（Fort Worth Star-Telegram

從古波斯到現代伊朗，一個「心智的帝國」如何誕生？本書內容綱舉目張，文字流暢易讀，是一部難以替代的伊朗通史也是在西方主調之外，認識今日複雜世界情勢的快速入門伊朗是熱門的新聞名詞，卻又是我們極為陌生的國度。它在媒體上經常呈現為一個充滿敵意且難以親近的國家。但在這些頭條新聞的背後，其實隱藏著一個引人入勝的故事，這是一個擁有豐富知識、深度與巨大文化重要性的國家的故事。伊朗是好戰的侵略者，還是受害者？它是擴張主義國家，還是被動防禦的國家？關於伊朗，我們知道的不僅太少，而且大部分都是誤解。伊朗充滿了各種悖論、矛盾和例外，然而，這些悖論與矛盾為何存在？必須在歷史中尋找可能的答案。本書是一部以簡馭繁，卻又完整充實的伊朗通史，內容綱舉目張，文字流暢易讀。全書從先知瑣羅亞斯德的時代開始談起，接著介紹阿契美尼德帝國、帕提亞帝國、薩珊帝國等強大的古代波斯帝國。自七世紀起，阿拉伯人、突厥人、蒙古人相繼成為伊朗地區的主宰，也在伊朗歷史中占有重要的地位。十六世紀後，什葉派的伊朗成形，歷經薩法維王朝、卡札爾王朝、巴列維王朝，於一九七九年革命後建立伊朗伊斯蘭共和國至今。作者生動地描述伊朗數千年的歷史，並詳盡解釋古代伊朗複雜的王朝更迭，以及在共同的文化脈絡下各族群如何融合而成現代的伊朗共同體。作者認為在薩珊帝國時代之前，就有一種伊朗意識（Iranianness）的存在。而後來在這塊土地上的無論是阿巴斯、加茲尼、塞爾柱，或是帖木兒帝國，它們背後存續的是一個最終證明更為重要的帝國──即伊朗的心智帝國（the Iranian Empire of the Mind）。而伊朗對於它的鄰國，以及整個世界都產生了深遠的影響，而且這個影響是透過思想和創造力，不是透過武力來實現的，這正是由於伊朗一直是一個真正的心智帝國，這也是本書的重要主張。隨著伊朗再度成為全球關注的焦點，本書正是了解這個「心智帝國」的關鍵指南。相較於「擁有伊朗，就能掌握全世界」的大國地緣政治思維，臺灣更應該具備「閱讀伊朗，就能瞭解全世界」的視角，重新理解伊朗，重新認識世界。

20世紀享譽全球的英國都市規劃學者彼得．霍爾（Peter Hall），在其經典著作《明日城市》（Cities of Tomorrow）中深入剖析都市規劃的核心價值——它不僅僅引導資源與空間的分配，更是一門城市與區域發展的藝術，指引城市在全球化變遷的過程中走向最適合的方向。邁入21世紀，環境氣候的驟變、科技與人工智慧（AI）的快速發展，迫使許多城市重新思索都市規劃的方向。地方文化的保存、自然生態的保護、產業發展、經濟成長，以及民眾生活需求，在全球化加速推進及聯合國永續發展目標（Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs）引領下，面臨前所未有的挑戰與機遇。臺中市做為臺灣重要城市之一，積極回應國際趨勢提出施政藍圖，包括2050願景計畫、十五項守護臺中幸福策略，引領臺中市成為以人為本、具有獨特魅力的城市，也是健康、創新、幸福、富強、宜居及永續的城市。2020年臺中市被全球化及世界城市網絡（GaWC）評為世界城市的Gamma級，為臺灣僅有的五個入榜城市之一；2024年從APSAA亞太暨臺灣永續行動獎評選中抱回二十四座獎項，並連續兩年從亞太地區眾多參賽城市中脫穎而出，獲得宜居永續城市獎Outstanding City的最高榮譽。此外，更屢次在全國性的評比調查中，拿下施政滿意度、宜居城市首獎。書中梳理了臺中市引領都市規劃發展的八大實踐計畫，並針對達成的效益以及理想目標詳加介紹，同時更對接國際案例。

A bittersweet story of love between two women, nested in an artful exploration of language, history, and power May 1938. The young novelist Aoyama Chizuko has sailed from her home in Nagasaki, Japan, and arrived in Taiwan. She's been invited there by the Japanese government ruling the island, though she has no interest in their official banquets or imperialist agenda. Instead, Chizuko longs to experience real island life and to taste as much of its authentic cuisine as her famously monstrous appetite can bear. Soon a Taiwanese woman--who is younger even than she is, and who shares the characters of her name--is hired as her interpreter and makes her dreams come true. The charming, erudite, meticulous Chizuru arranges Chizuko's travels all over the Land of the South and also proves to be an exceptional cook. Over scenic train rides and braised pork rice, lively banter and winter melon tea, Chizuko grows infatuated with her companion and intent on drawing her closer. But something causes
