The Fountains of Silence meets Spinning Silver in this rollicking tale set amid the 1956 Hungarian revolution in post-WWII Communist Budapest from Sydney Taylor Honor winner Katherine Locke.In the middle of Budapest, there is a river. Csilla knows the river is magic. During WWII, the river kept her family safe when they needed it most--safe from the Holocaust. But that was before the Communists seized power. Before her parents were murdered by the Soviet police. Before Csilla knew things about her father's legacy that she wishes she could forget. Now Csilla keeps her head down, planning her escape from this country that has never loved her the way she loves it. But her carefully laid plans fall to pieces when her parents are unexpectedly, publicly exonerated. As the protests in other countries spur talk of a larger revolution in Hungary, Csilla must decide if she believes in the promise and magic of her deeply flawed country enough to risk her life to help save it, or if she should let

近來，決策對個人也好，對企業也好，漸漸成為相當重要的課題。因為做錯了決策以致奪走企業壽命的例子屢見不鮮，此種傾向在不透明感愈形濃厚的現代社會中更為強烈。並且，隨著社會的系統化進展，決策的影響比以往更深且廣。決策必須是從複雜交織的要素中慎重的制訂出來。太單純的斷章取義恐有疏忽重要要素之風險，相反的利用太複雜的手法又很難臨機應變。究竟有無簡便的方法可以均衡的引進多樣要素呢？因應此要求所出現的方法即為AHP（Analytic Hierarchy Process：層級分析法）。此層級分析法為1971年匹茲堡大學教授沙第(Thomas L. Saaty）所發展出來，經過三十多年之發展，已成為現今決策領域中常見之決策工具。AHP是利用階層構造來掌握與決策有關聯的要素。利用階層圖、一對比較、重要度決定、計算綜合的重要度等之步驟加以展開、分析。讀本書時，請從理解第I篇的「基礎」開始。如果讀過一遍，請分析簡單的問題。然後再讀第II篇及後面的部分。透過其中所展開的種種事例，想必可以立即理解以遊戲感（Game feeling）進行決策的意義。本書的特徵以條列式來說，即為：．「使感性科學化」．「單刀直入的解說不明狀況」．「以遊戲感來下決策」．「對多樣化的價值觀探求應對之道」本書是AHP的入門圖解書，簡潔的解說基本並介紹許多應用事例，若想利用軟體分析，可前往相關網站下載相關軟體，如：Expert choice、Power choice或Superdecisions。

High Gothic: Christian Art & Iconography of the 13th–14th Century showcases classic examples of statuary, stained glass, diptychs, textiles and caskets that were used in the expression of Christian devotion in Western Europe.‘Gothic’ was originally a derogatory term coined by scholars during the Renaissance to describe the ‘barbaric’ medieval architecture that arose with the decline of the classical forms of the Roman Empire. The word is now understood to describe a style of buildings and objects created between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries which incorporate elements such as novel advances in masonry work and the characteristic ogival arch.The Gothic period saw an increased emphasis on the power of images, where vision became an active force for activating emotion and inspiring contemplation. The great cathedrals constructed in this period―with their thin walls and high vaults filled with statuary and stained-glass windows―were designed to evoke awe among visitors. The exqui

The crisis of masculinity surfaced and converged with the crisis of the nation in the late Qing, after the doors of China were forced open by Opium Wars. The power of physical aggression increasingly overshadowed literary attainments and became a new imperative of male honor in the late Qing and early Republican China. Afflicted with anxiety and indignation about their increasingly effeminate image as perceived by Western colonial powers, Chinese intellectuals strategically distanced themselves from the old literati and reassessed their positions vis-à-vis violence. In Mastery of Words and Swords: Negotiating Intellectual Masculinities in Modern China, 1890s–1930s, Jun Lei explores the formation and evolution of modern Chinese intellectual masculinities as constituted in racial, gender, and class discourses mediated by the West and Japan. This book brings to light a new area of interest in the “Man Question” within gender studies in which women have typically been the focus. To fully r
