'Joins the dots in a neglected narrative of female scientists, visionaries and code-breakers'ObserverHow is artificial intelligence changing the way we live and love? Now with a new chapter, this is the eye-opening book fromSunday Timesbestselling author Jeanette Winterson.Drawing on her years of thinking and reading about AI, Jeanette Winterson looks to history, religion, myth, literature, politics and, of course, computer science to help us understand the radical changes to the way we live and love that are happening now.With wit, compassion and curiosity, Winterson tackles AI's most interesting talking points - from the weirdness of backing up your brain and the connections between humans and non-human helpers to whether it's time to leave planet Earth.'Very funny... A kind of comparative mythology, where the hype and ideology of cutting-edge tech is read through the lens of far older stories'Spectator'Refreshingly optimistic'Guardian

See the transformative life cycle of a sunflower play out from page to page in this bold read-aloud by Sibert honoree Antoinette Portis. "A seed falls, And settles into the ground, And the Sun shines, And the rain comes down, And the seed grows..."To understand how a seed becomes a sunflower, you have to peek beneath the soil and wait patiently as winding roots grow, a stalk inches out of the earth, and new seeds emerge among blooming petals. With evocative and lively illustrations, A Seed Grows offers a close-up view of each step of this process and the ways in which flowers and seeds depend on other creatures, with a striking fold-out spread of a full-grown sunflower and additional material at the back of the book explaining the science of plant life cycles.

he Genera of Orchidaceae in Hong Kong is a handy reference for both amateurs and professional botanists in Asia who wish to enter the field of modern orchidology. Orchid appreciation is an art deeply rooted in Asian cultures. But in 1977, when this book was first published, orchidology as a science was new to people there. The technical vocabulary was unfamiliar and the subject matter difficult to understand. Therefore, this volume was intended as a general, easy-to-use reference book, with illustrations of the basic structure of orchids and their habit and habitat clearly described in Chapter I.The book may also be used as a self-help guide for naturalists and gardeners in Hong Kong who wish to identify an orchid new to them. In Chapter II, keys, descriptions, and illustrations are given to allow the reader to look up and gain information about individual orchid species. Chapter III provides an analysis of the composition and an interpretation of the phytogeographic significance of th

預防下一場疫病大流行發生成為各國重要議題。Bill Gates以世界級專家的知識與蓋茲基金會對抗重大疾病的經驗為基礎，深入淺出解析傳染病，並提出國與國之間，政府與民間單位聯手合作，不只能阻擋下一場疫病，更有機會消滅所有呼吸道相關疾病。A new book by Bill Gates that lays out a clear plan to prevent future pandemics The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over. But even as governments around the world try to get it under control, they're also starting to talk about what happens next. How can we prevent another pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy? Can we even hope to accomplish this? Bill Gates believes the answer is yes, and he has written a largely upbeat book that lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should learn from COVID-19, explains the science of fighting pandemics, and suggests what all of us can do to help prevent another one. Given the worldwide success of How to Avoid a Climate Disaster (which debuted at #1 on the New York Times best seller list), Gates is more respected than ever for his approach to solving the world's biggest challenges.

Can an undercover nerd become a superstar secret agent? The first book in Stuart Gibbs's New York Times bestselling Spy School series is now a graphic novel! Ben Ripley may only be in middle school, but he's already pegged his dream job: CIA or bust. Unfortunately for him, his personality doesn't exactly scream "secret agent." In fact, Ben is so awkward, he can barely get to school and back without a mishap. Because of his innate nerdiness, Ben is not surprised when he is recruited for a magnet school with a focus on science--but he's entirely shocked to discover that the school is actually a front for a junior CIA academy. Could the CIA really want him? Actually, no. There's been a case of mistaken identity--but that doesn't stop Ben from trying to morph into a supercool undercover agent, the kind that always gets the girl. And through a series of hilarious misadventures, Ben realizes he might actually be a halfway decent spy...if he can survive all the attempts being made on his life

如果你還在用SSH、RDP管理主機， 如果你還在煩惱Dev、Staging和Product的同步， 本書會讓看到一個全新的世界， 單人管理萬台主機不再是神話！ ☆應用分散式化 隨著2014年10月7日Pivotal發佈第一個Spring Cloud的版本1.0.0.M1以來，憑藉產品的便利性、良好的生態，Spring Cloud迅速成為微服系統中最具代表性的開發框架，廣大開發者在享受微服務開發所帶來的便利同時，以前維護一個Tomcat的事情，現在起碼都是10個微服務起步，這也給應用的運行維護引入了更大的複雜性。 ★Kubernetes成為應用運行的標準平台 同樣是在2014年，Google將內部Borg系統第一次以開放原始碼的方式發佈於GitHub之上，並將Microsoft、Red Hat、IBM、Docker引入Kubernetes社區。某種程度上，Kubernetes重新定義了作業系統，應用透過Kubernetes定義的抽象層，能夠享受傳統架構下難以實現的自動資源排程、自動修復、水平伸縮容等能力，並提升了應用發佈的品質，這是當年傳統運行維護難以想像的，但是如何用好相關的能力，對運行維護工程師來說也是一個新的挑戰。 ☆傳統監控升級提高了可觀察性 幾年前，我們手中的監控武器除了Zabbix，還有一個不太成熟的ELK，而現在，我們擁有Prometheus、ELK Stack、SkyWalking、Zipkin、Grafana等一系列工具。而且，我們已經看到了OpenTelemetry嘗試從規範層面完成Metric、Log、Trace的大一統，困擾傳統運行維護多年、多種運行維護資料難以連結的問題，即將得到解決。 ★AI從“陽春白雪”變得觸手可及 大部分的情況下，常見的AI技術針對的領域是視覺辨識、NLP等，如何將AI 技術應用到運行維護領域，還是一個非常值得探索的問題。看到了文豪新書的初稿，感覺本書來的正是時候，極佳地表現了這幾年運行維護的基礎架構的技術發展，同時具備很強的動手指導性，能夠幫助讀者在實踐的過程中，對相關的技術加深瞭解，為更深入地鑽研相關技術打下基礎。 本書特色：  介紹自動化運維和智慧化運維的常用技術  讓讀者能夠基於主流的容器化技術搭建自己的運維實驗環境  幫助讀者快速完成Docker與Kubernetes的入門  迅速掌握容器化技術中常用的
