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

Schoenfield, 《Securing Systems: Applied Security Architecture and Threat Models》作者，資訊安全架構師 在軟體開發生命週期中，威脅建模往往是最基本但卻容易被誤解的一環。無論您是資訊安全從業人員或開發團隊成員，本書將幫助您更好地理解如何應用威脅建模的核心概念，在實務上保護您的系統免受威脅。 威脅建模技巧旨在編寫代碼之前，以具有成本效益的方式發現和解決潛在問題。使用威脅建模技術並不需要高階資安知識，也不需要付出鉅額維護成本。本書作者Izar Tarandach和Matthew J. Coles在本書中介紹了可以在您的組織中處理和執行威脅模型分析的各種方法。 ‧探索用以保護資料和系統功能的威脅建模基本特性及機制 ‧了解保護機制、隱私性、和安全性之間的關係 ‧識別評估系統安全性的關鍵特徵 ‧深入認識用於威脅模型分析系統的流行和專業技術 ‧眺望威脅建模、敏捷開發(Agile development methodologies)和開發維運自動化(DevOps automation)的未來發展 ‧查找常見問題的答案，包括如何避免常見的威脅建模陷阱

領域驅動設計之父 Eric Evans 親推的必看專書！「搞笑談軟工」板主 Teddy 專文推薦關於 [名家名著] 30領域驅動設計（DDD）是一種軟體開發方法，只要實作得當，可以幫助開發人員設計出高品質的軟體模型，明確地反映出預期業務目標。然而能不能成功實作 DDD，卻是許多 DDD 開發人員所遭遇到的共同難題，對於新接觸 DDD 的人來說更是困難重重。作者 Vaughn Vernon 以一種獨到的方式將 DDD 中的抽象概念統整起來，並做出規範，而這些指導原則，正是實作 DDD 的最佳指引。作者用搭飛機來比喻接觸 DDD 的心情，將 Eric Evans 的《領域驅動設計： 軟體核心複雜度的解決方法》比喻為「從高處俯瞰的視角與寬廣的視野」，而本書則像是一張地圖，其作用是「帶領各位讀者緩緩降落、停穩飛機，走一條熟悉的路線安全到家」。《實戰領域驅動設計》以由上而下的方式說明 DDD，將戰略模式與基礎的戰術程式設計工具自然地結合起來。Vaughn Vernon 示範了如何在現代軟體架構中實作 DDD，強調業務領域概念的重要性與價值之同時，又不失技術層面上的務實考量。本書是基於 Eric Evans 的開創性著作《領域驅動設計》一書而來，作者透過我們都熟知的業務領域範例講解如何實作 DDD。所有的原則都搭配真實的 Java 程式範例，對於 C# 程式語言的開發人員也同樣適用，所有的範例內容都來自於一個設想案例：基於一個假想的大型 SaaS 多租戶 Scrum 協作系統的開發案例研究。本書作者將帶領讀者跨越「DDD-Lite」的侷限，不僅僅是將DDD作為一套技術工具運用，而是透過 Bounded Context、情境地圖、通用語言，充分運用 DDD 的「戰略設計模式」。而透過書中的技術與範例，可以加速軟體開發、提高品質，讓軟體更具靈活性與可擴展性，同時緊密地與業務目標保持一致。【本書精彩內容】☑ 以正確的方法踏入 DDD 的世界，就能快速從中獲益☑ 說明如何將 DDD 運用於不同的架構中，包括六角架構、SOA、REST、CQRS、事件驅動設計以及基於 Data Fabric/網格的架構☑ 妥善地設計與運用實體，並了解何時該使用值物件而非實體☑ 學習掌握與運用 DDD 強大的新技術——領域事件☑ 利用 ORM 與 NoSQL 和其他資料庫等技術來實作 Repository【

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！

In this thrilling conclusion to the Book of Tea YA duology, a young tea-maker may be the only one who can stop an evil darkness from spreading throughout her homeland.A great evil has come to the kingdom of Dàxi. The Banished Prince has returned to seize power, his rise to the dragon throne aided by the mass poisonings that have kept the people bound in fear and distrust.Ning, a young but powerful shénnóng-shi—a wielder of magic using the ancient and delicate art of tea-making—has escorted Princess Zhen into exile. Joining them is the princess's loyal bodyguard Ruyi and Ning's newly healed sister, Shu. Together the four young women travel throughout the kingdom in search of allies to help take back Zhen's rightful throne.But the golden serpent still haunts Ning's nightmares with visions of war. An evil far more ancient than the petty conflicts of men has awoken, and all the magic in the land may not be enough to stop it.

This textbook on rotating fluid dynamics combines a pedagogical development of theoretical ideas with a description and analysis of many of the fascinating examples of rotating flows found in nature. The book is self-contained, starting in Part I with introductory chapters on fluid dynamics and waves. The largest section of the book is Part II, where a broad theoretical framework is developed for rotating flows, including Ekman layers, inertial waves, Taylor columns, Rossby waves, precession, instabilities, rotating convection, vortex breakdown, and rotating turbulence.The book ends, in Part III, with an analysis of some naturally occurring rotating flows, including tornadoes and dust devils, tidal vortices, tropical cyclones, convection in planetary cores, zonal winds in planetary atmospheres, and astrophysical accretion discs. Davidson presents a unique combination of a deep but broad theoretical framework with a detailed discussion of many naturally occurring flows. Moreover, the bo
