Chen Shui-bian is one of the most consequential -- and controversial -- politicians in Taiwan’s modern history. He broke the political grip of the ruling Kuomintang (Nationalist Party), winning the presidency in 2000 and paving the way for the first peaceful transfer of power to the opposition – the Democratic Progressive Party.But he was also convicted in four corruption-related criminal cases, and his actions inflicted great political harm on a young democracy. Ultimately, Chen will be remembered as the first president of Taiwan to be sentenced to jail.Chen’s intriguing story deserves retelling, and veteran journalist Osman Tseng is uniquely suited to the task. Tseng’s journalistic career spanned more than four decades with the Chinese language China Times as well as English media outlets, the China Post, and the China Economic News Service (CENS). This gave him a choice vantage point for observing Chen’s political ascent and the dramatic legal battles of his eventual downfall.◎代理經銷：

鑑於印度大學目前使用的華語教材相當老舊，且與印度的國情與文化有極大差距，故印度臺灣華語教育中心決議為印度學習者編寫一套國別化華語教材。本書以幽默有趣的故事、文化對比的角度介紹臺灣和印度的文化特色。主要學習對象為在印度大學學習華語第二年、華語程度A2 - B1的印度學生，以文化比較與語言學習為主軸，設計在地化的教材。每一課分為七部分：課程目標及課文屬性、課文對話、短文、生詞、語法、跨文化延伸和語言任務。希望此書在印度華語教材和臺印文化交流上扮演領頭羊角色，期盼拋磚引玉，能專門為在印度學習華語的學習者編寫更多元、更適性的華語教材。Given that the Mandarin textbooks currently used by Indian universities are pretty outdated, bearing a large gap with the Indian culture and condition of the nation, TEC has been proactive in advancing pedagogies and teaching materials. Incredible Mandarin is targeted at students learning Mandarin Chinese for the second year at Indian universities or those with Chinese skills between CEFR A2 and B1 levels. This book is designed with localized content aiming at cultural comparison and language learning for communication. The ten lessons are threaded by an interesting story, introducing cultural highlights of Taiwan and India through cross-culture comparison. Each lesson is divided into seven parts: Lesson Objectives and Topic

序The publisher invites Japanese readers and Satoyama supporters to spread these stories of harmonious coexistence between humanity and nature in rural communities in Taiwan, and to keep telling the story of the Satoyama Initiative.

We are all in this together, and we can do it together.內容簡介There are four books in the set, about four rural communities in Taiwan. First, The Spring on the Highland explains how two generations of farmers in Gonglaoping, Fengyuan District, Taichung enjoy the fruits of kinship with the land following the restoration of the spring on the highland. Second, Farming Village Co. Unlimited is about a Satoyama-inspired enterprise based on crop diversification and creative local produce marketing in Gongrong, Sanzhi District, New Taipei City.

In Business Communication: Developing Leaders for a Networked World, Peter Cardon takes a practitioner and case-based approach to help students develop an understanding of how course content applies to the business world. The author stresses why credibility is essential to effective communication today. Integrated with Connect for Business Communication, Cardon explores bedrock communication principles while also staying up-to-date with cultural and technological changes in the business environment—transforming learners into leaders for a networked world. Importantly, the text discusses AI in every chapter, reflecting the transformational nature of technology on business communication, with a bonus chapter that emphasizes how AI can be used with purpose and with the human touch.
