For fans of Shut Up, This Is Serious, this humorous, relatable novel gives an honest look at what it's like to fall in love for the first time...with someone you were sure you hated. High school senior Mayte has never been kissed, but it hardly matters. Her abuelita has cancer, her half sister with special needs has moved in, and college is off the table--family comes first. She keeps her problems to herself; why burden everyone she loves with more? Meanwhile, fellow senior Auggie is set on attending an elite creative writing program. But as the self-proclaimed most boring person alive, he can't exactly write the next great American novel when he's struggling to write a short story for college applications. After an awful blind date ("disaster" doesn't even begin to describe it), Mayte and Auggie are forced together by their merging social circles. The pair must at least pretend to get along...but soon they develop actual feelings. Then tragedy strikes Mayte's family. Auggie feels comp

歷經五任總統、數十年艱辛磨練從海龍到海鯤──潛艦國造從啟蒙走向自立首次揭露台灣造艦史上最具張力與戲劇性的一章海鯤艦的誕生，追溯至1980年代南非艦長班――那是台灣潛艦國造的萌芽期，一個遠在非洲大陸的起點。從一紙「借來」的潛艦建造合約開始，中華民國告別依賴軍援與軍售的年代，踏上自立建艦的漫長道路。這條路並不平坦。歷程時而顛簸，時而曲折；每一個關鍵時刻，往往只差一步，就可能改寫後來的命運。歷史證明，機會總是留給準備好的人。當條件齊全，「潛艦國造」不再只是遠景，而是眼前只差最後一哩路、觸手可及的成果。歷經蔣經國、李登輝、陳水扁、馬英九到蔡英文――這條潛艦國造的艱辛歷程中，拉法葉艦軍購弊案徹底形塑了海軍避而遠之的決策態度。直到陳永康提出「22年造艦計畫」，在台灣這片土地孕育潛艦的希望，曙光終於出現，潛艦國造首次不再只是構想，而是可以被具體推進的工程。這一次，無論如何，也不能讓團隊解散；無論如何，都要將建造台灣潛艦的能力世代傳承。如果說二代潛艦的取得，開啟了台灣國艦國造的啟蒙運動，那麼2020年代，就是這場自主造艦工程邁向2.0的關鍵年代。從跨海取得潛艦戰力，到逐步建立本土設計、系統整合與建造能力，數十年間累積的不只是技術，更是一整代國防工業對深海戰力的理解與堅持。而這段歷史，也同樣經歷了漫長等待。從最早的口述訪談、解密檔案，到關鍵計畫參與者塵封多年的記憶，許多故事曾因時局未明而難以下筆；直到海鯤號下水、海試，這段跨越四十年的潛艦追尋，終於有了可以被完整講述的結尾。李志德累積多年採訪成果，從關鍵計畫參與者的口述中挖掘隱藏多年的事實，綜合官方檔案與公開資料，完成這部關於國防自主的報導文學，也是至今最完整的一部台灣潛艦國造歷史紀錄。透析從國造潛艦願景到實踐發展的唯一紀實訪問當年6,108億通過了的話，國造潛艦老早就下水了？美、法、德、荷、西班牙、阿根廷，台灣潛艦的建造源頭遍及大西洋兩岸？當年扼殺潛艦國造的首謀居然是「這個」？本書特色1. 本書自2014年展開採訪工作，迄今已完成十位直接參與潛艦計畫關鍵人士的深度訪談，涵蓋不同歷史階段，取得大量第一手訪談資料2. 透過蒐羅與整理政府已解密檔案，本書首次披露多項鮮為人知的歷史細節，補足台灣潛艦發展長期缺乏公開記錄的關鍵環節3. 作者擅長以非虛構報導文學的書寫手法，結合嚴謹史料與敘事節奏，引領讀者深入理解國造潛艦發展的脈絡與歷程

The American who opened women's higher education in KoreaLulu E. Frey served in Korea for the Woman's Foreign Missionary Society of the Methodist Episcopal Church beginning in 1893. She became a teacher and later principal at Ewha, the country's first girls' school. There, Christian principles were taught along with academic subjects, hygiene, and the sanctity of the woman-centered domestic sphere. The precepts of evangelical Christianity merged with seemingly liberating ideals of modernity. In 1910, the year Japan officially annexed Korea, Frey established Ewha's college program. Many of the young women who studied at Ewha became the first female teachers, nurses, and doctors in Korea and joined a rising cohort of "New Women" across East Asia.These previously unpublished letters offer intimate insight into the work of running, expanding, and raising funds for a school during the political turmoil and wars that marked the end of the Joseon Dynasty, the short-lived Korean Empire, and th

如何突破被科技巨獸掌控的社群平台？知名媒體評論家從心理到技術創意的分析和陪伴，帶你重新奪回你的網際網路！唐鳳 推薦林穎資（烏特列支大學地理系、INC客座研究員）黃豆泥（分散自治與數位主權探求者，前數發部工程師） 黃祥昀（哲學與社會學背景的策展人與創作者）專文推薦社群平台衍生各式難解的困境，大至結構制度失衡的雲端封建主義，小至個人層次的doomscrolling（像殭屍一樣，盲目地滑動捲動，不再意識到自己在做什麼）。在資訊超載的失序狀態下，我們越來越自戀，越來越習慣公開談論自我的內心，也越來越憂鬱。不僅如此，我們還越來越容易受到陰謀論和假新聞的影響，也容易被引戰。我們都意識到這個現象，卻奮不顧身、持續被社群平台綁架，不論是心甘情願或放棄抵抗。這一切不是我們自恃不足，更多是平台本身Sad by Design （你的悲傷是被設計出來的）。曾經，網際網路許諾了一個光明的未來，是人類追求平等解放的道路。結果卻在歷史洪流的發展中，轉變成問題的一部分，無法扭轉從自身蘊生的破壞力。在當今生態、經濟、金融危機相互交織、彼此影響的「危機的堆疊」裡，網際網路的失敗更加深了危機的不可解。設計，不然就等著被設計（program or be programmed）！作者是歐陸知名媒體理論家，也是網絡文化研究所（Institute of Network Cultures）的創始人。他從哲學和媒體理論的觀察出發，綜論各種變革的可能間隙，實驗各種可能的替代平台，他認為我們得放棄一體適用的解決方案，轉而尋求一系列多樣化、因地制宜的網路工具，來協助完成特定的工作。任何天馬行空的想像力都是起點。在本書裡，作者探討網際網路的困境，診斷我們目前所處的停滯階段，同時也探問如何「解困」，把平台變得不那麼平台。作者認為社群平台已經凌駕原先網際網路的角色，我們必須等待時機，將這兩者適當區分開來，以修復破碎的網路，建立「會面點」。社群平台的目的是進行經濟交流和搾取數據，「會面點」的目的則是創造共通性。「會面點」可以有千千萬萬個跳躍連結，然而在扁平而缺乏深度的社群平台裡，可能性非常有限。在這個故事裡，終極解決之道並不是替代平台的崛起，而是群眾奪回鄉民的能動性與對網際網路的想像力。集體退散卡住眾生的平台，轉而建立自主協作，創造連結動能的網絡。行動的第一步，始自對於數位衰退的深刻理解。【推薦語】本書金句不斷，將許多我們日常中
