寫於《尤利西斯》等長篇鉅作之前，今年的Bloomsday，讓我們從《都柏林人》開始。數則篇幅短小，言語精煉的故事，承載喬伊斯眼中最遠也最近的故土──即上世紀初的都柏林──自渾噩到頓悟的苦澀。精巧典雅的Macmillan小金書，隨身一冊，隨時展讀。First published in 1914, Dubliners depicts middle-class Catholic life in Dublin at the start of the twentieth century. Themes within the stories include the disappointments of childhood, the frustrations of adolescence, and the importance of sexual awakening. Joyce was twenty-five years old when he wrote this collection of short stories, among which 'The Dead' is probably the most famous.Considered at the time as a literary experiment, Dubliners contains moments of joy, fear, grief, love and loss, which combine to form one of the most complete depictions of a city ever written, and the stories remain as refreshingly original and surprising in this century as they did in the last. With an afterword by Peter Harness. Designed to appeal to the booklover, Macmillan Collector's Library is a series of beautifully bound hardback gift editions of much loved classic titles.

Throughout history, human societies have been organized preeminently as territories—politically bounded regions whose borders define the jurisdiction of laws and the movement of peoples. At a time whe

If life is about the journey and not the destination, could it be that this is heaven - this physical life we are living here on Earth? What we experience in our daily lives often feels like anything but heaven. But what if we understood how powerful we are - that we are powerful enough to mould both our internal and our external reality?Anita Moorjani is convinced we can do exactly that. The process, she explains, requires dismantling the many cultural myths mistaken for indisputable truths.Beliefs such as 'We get what we deserve', 'Loving ourselves is selfish' and 'Coincidences are just that - coincidences', are ingrained within us from birth, pervasive and influential, leading to generations of misguidance. Following her near-death experience, Moorjani began to embody truths she learned in the other realm, discovering that letting go of these outmoded myths allowed her to experience heaven not as a physical place but as a state of mind, right here and right now.

《Spring Boot in Action》是一本專為熟悉 Spring Framework 的開發者所寫的實戰指南，聚焦於如何運用 Spring Boot 大幅簡化 Java 應用程式的開發流程。Spring Boot 以「約定優於設定」為核心理念，讓開發者跳過繁瑣的組態工作，快速啟動專案，將心力集中在應用程式的行為與商業邏輯上。作者 Craig Walls 以多年 Spring 開發與教學經驗，透過清楚且實用的範例，說明如何有效運用 Spring Boot 的自動組態機制，同時在需要時進行客製化調整。書中涵蓋測試、部署、Actuator 監控、命令列工具（CLI）、以及與 Groovy、Grails 的整合應用，完整呈現 Spring Boot 在實務開發中的優勢。本書內容務實、節奏明快，適合希望提升開發效率、減少設定負擔的 Java 與 Spring 開發者閱讀，是理解與上手 Spring Boot 的重要入門與進階參考。Although Spring Framework simplifies enterprise Java development, it can require a lot from developers in terms of framework configuration. Spring Boot radically streamlines the process of creating Spring applications by employing automatic configuration, along with a programming model built around established conventions for build-time and runtime dependencies. It also provides a component that gives insight into the internals of a running application and a handy CLI that can be used to write command-line scripts in Groovy. Developers who have used Spring Boot say that th

聚焦二十世紀末至二十一世紀初回應愛滋危機的美國文學，探討悲傷如何在文本中被書寫、處理，並進一步形塑性別與性向認同。作者以佛洛伊德精神分析為理論基礎，細讀多部關鍵作品，分析「哀悼」與「憂鬱」如何成為理解文本秩序與斷裂的關鍵。書中討論Edmund White、Michael Cunningham、Eve Sedgwick等作者的作品，並延伸至ACT UP Oral History Project的口述歷史檔案，呈現同志書寫與後現代詩學之間的交織。本書指出，文本不僅反映身分，也參與身分的生成與鞏固，對同志文學研究、酷兒理論與愛滋再現提供重要觀點。This book discusses the significance of late twentieth century and early twenty first century American fiction written in response to the AIDS crisis and interrogates how sexual identity is depicted and constructed textually. Pearl develops Freudian psychoanalytic theory in a complex account of the ways in which grief is expressed and worked out in literature, showing how key texts from the AIDS crisis by authors such as Edmund White, Michael Cunningham, Eve Sedgwick – and also, later, the archives of The ACT UP Oral History Project - lie both within the tradition of gay writing and a postmodernist poetics. The book demonstrates how literary texts both expose and construct personal identity, how they expose and produc

"The author provides unprecedented critical, interdisciplinary explorations of the complex dynamics and intersectionalities operating between disability and poverty in rural areas, an assumed relationship that is too often misunderstood. Reporting on long term ethnographic work in Guatemala and prioritising the voices, knowledge and narratives of disabled people and their families, Grech offers an incisive and refined critical analysis of the various complex barriers and interactions in the disability/poverty/rurality nexus encountered by what Grech calls 'disabled families'. The book opens up discussions on a broad range of themes traversing conceptual, spatial, historical, embodied, spiritual, racial, sexual and gendered terrains among others. It challenges and reframes established, often imposed discourses and practices, and contests issues of (re)presentation, Eurocentrism, and coloniality. Finally, it contributes new and uncharted reflections for further debate, which are indispen

When I am working with metal, I feel like a constructor. And when I am working with toys, I feel like a child." (Felieke van der Leest). The work of Dutch jewelry and object artist Felieke van der Leest (born in 1968) expresses the very special affection that she has for animals. With unbridled fantasy she creates pieces that ostentatiously, colorfully and playfully revolve around her little friends. She combines techniques used in textile work, such as crochet, with valuable metals and plastic toy animals. Within the

在智慧型手機、社群平台與即時影音盛行的時代，隱私與言論自由之間的界線愈發緊張。本書由Mark Tunick出發，透過美國、歐洲、英國與澳洲等地的重要判例，分析當科技讓個人受到不必要關注時，法律與倫理應如何回應。作者先釐清隱私與言論自由各自的價值，再建立衡量兩者衝突的分析框架，討論何謂正當的隱私利益、新聞價值與「被遺忘權」。學界書評肯定其案例選擇具代表性、比較法視角清楚，是理解當代隱私與言論自由議題的重要入門與參考。比較法視角檢視隱私與言論衝突以關鍵案例建構分析框架適合法律與媒體研究讀者In an age of smartphones, Facebook and YouTube, privacy may seem to be a norm of the past. This book addresses ethical and legal questions that arise when media technologies are used to give individuals unwanted attention. Drawing from a broad range of cases within the US, UK, Australia, Europe, and elsewhere, Mark Tunick asks whether privacy interests can ever be weightier than society’s interest in free speech and access to information.Taking a comparative and interdisciplinary approach, and drawing on the work of political theorist Jeremy Waldron concerning toleration, the book argues that we can still have a legitimate interest in controlling the extent to which information about us is disseminated. The book begins by exploring why privacy a

Computer graphics is a vast field that is becoming larger every day. It is impossible to cover every topic of interest, even within a specialization such as CG rendering. For many years, Noriko Kurachi has reported on the latest developments for Japanese readers in her monthly column for CG World. Being something of a pioneer herself, she selected topics that represented original and promising new directions for research. Many of these novel ideas are the topics covered in The Magic of Computer Graphics.Starting from the basic behavior of light, the first section of the book introduces the most useful techniques for global and local illumination using geometric descriptions of an environment. The second section goes on to describe image-based techniques that rely on captured data to do their magic. In the final section, the author looks at the synthesis of these two complementary approaches and what they mean for the future of computer graphics.

An abandoned Southwark warehouse burns next door to a women's shelter for victims of spousal abuse. Within it lies the charred corpse of a female body burned beyond all recognition. At the same time, workers at Guy's Hospital anxiously discuss the disappearance of a hospital administrator -- a beautiful, emotionally fragile young woman who's vanished without a trace. And in an old, dark, rambling London house, nine-year-oldHarriet's awful fears won't be silenced -- as she worries about her feuding parents, her schoolwork . . . and the strange woman who is her only companion in this scary, unfamiliar place. Gemma James and Duncan Kincaid -- lovers and former partners -- have their own pressing concerns. But they must put aside private matters to investigate these disturbing cases. Yet neither Gemma nor Duncan realize how closely the cases are connected -- or how important their resolutions will be for an abducted young child who is frightened, alone . . . and in serious peril.
