Readers will discover the Buddha’s insights on the importance of kindness, right speech, right actions, and community living that remain profoundly relevant to our lives today. Each story concludes with “Words of Wisdom” that connect ancient guidance to contemporary challenges.

前言 動脈導管 (Arterial line, A-line) 是麻醉科醫師在臨床工作上常用的測量血壓的工具，可以每分每秒即時觀察病患的血壓，對於麻醉安全至為重要。此外，A-line 也能方便抽血 (Blood sampling)。現今 A-line 廣泛用在各種重症病患或重大手術之上，包括（不局限於）下列情形：1. 它是所有開心手術的必備項目。2. 病患的 Volume status 可能發生快速且劇烈的變化時，或是有大量失血之風險時。3. 病患的血壓在手術過程中可能發生劇烈而不穩定的變化，例如，嗜鉻細胞(Pheochromocytoma) 的切除手術。4. 心律不整合併左心室收縮功能不良，尤其是心房顫動。早期想要知道病患的血流動力學變化，例如心搏輸出量、Cardiac index、Systemi cvascular resistance⋯⋯等，必須使用 Pulmonary artery catheter (PAC)、經食道超音波 (TEE)、或是 PiCCO 才能得知病患詳細的血流動力學 (Hemodynamics) 之相關數值，但是受限於其高度侵入性，未能廣泛推展到所有重大手術或重症病患。近幾年來，各種 A-line CCO 的工具在臨床上大量地使用，可以將動脈血壓的波形輪廓經由電腦內設程式的分析計算，得到各種的血流動力學參數。既然 A-line CCO 可以將動脈波形經由動脈脈搏輪廓分析法 (APCA methods) 計算出相關的血流動力學參數，我們就必須去思考下列幾個重要的問題。1. High stroke volume 的動脈波形，或 Low stroke volume 的動脈波形，在形態上具有什麼樣的特徵？2. High SVRI 的動脈波形，或 Low SVRI 的動脈波形，在形態上具有什麼樣的特徵？3. Dehydration 的動脈波形，或 Euvolemia 的動脈波形，在形態上具有什麼樣的特徵？4. 特定的動脈波形是否代表著特殊的臨床意義？麻醉醫師能不能在沒有 A-line CCO 的輔助之下，從動脈波形輪廓上判 讀出病患的血流動力學的狀況呢？答案是可以的。動脈波形 (Arterial pulse pressure waveform) 是病患血流動力學的靈魂之窗，藉由分析動脈波形的形態與細節，我們能夠找到許多診斷血流動力學的訊息

The Classic of Poetry (Shijing), also known as the “Mao Poetry” (Mao Shi), is the oldest existing collection of poetry in China, or indeed anywhere in the world. As a fountainhead of the Chinese literary tradition, it has endured over two and a half millennia of continuous readership. In this volume, eminent sinologist Edward L. Shaughnessy presents a complete English translation of the 305 discrete poems from the Classic of Poetry, divided into the Feng 風“ Ya 雅“ and Song 頌“ Combining the received text with newly unearthed manuscript discoveries, Shaughnessy offers a modern, authoritative interpretation that departs from the dated translations of earlier scholars. His masterful rendering encapsulates the essence of this poetic treasury, reflecting the diverse aspects of life, love, nature, and ritual in ancient China.--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Professor Shaughnessy’s translation of the Classic of Poetry

In Lu Xun and World Literature, Xiaolu Ma, Carlos Rojas, and other contributors examine various aspects of Lu Xun, who is known as the father of modern Chinese literature. Essays in this book focus on Lu Xun’s works in relation to the notions of world literature and processes of literary worlding. The contributors offer detailed analyses of Lu Xun’s own literary oeuvre and of foreign works that engage with his writings. This volume also focuses on many facets of the publication and dissemination of Lu Xun’s works’, from printing and binding to the discussions and debates that followed their release in China and abroad. This book not only makes an important contribution to the field of Lu Xun studies, but also proposes a reexamination of the category of world literature.

In Socializing Medicine, Pao-chen Tang, Yuqian Yan, and Ling Zhang explore the intersections of medicine, health, and East Asian media. Interweaving archival research, audiovisual analyses, and theoretical insights from the emerging field of health humanities, the book reveals the multifaceted ways in which the mass media—from photography and film to television and live streaming—has been deployed as a tool for controlling medicine and health, privileging those with power and authority from the early twentieth century to the present. Adopting anti-colonial and anti-capitalist perspectives, the contributors in this volume challenge the dominant mediations of health against the backdrop of imperialism, Cold War geopolitical tensions, and neoliberal capitalism. Collectively, they advocate for alternative understandings of medical culture through media productions that envision accessible and equitable healthcare practices.

1821年，英國人約翰·加德納·威爾金森航行到埃及，從此開啟了持續時間長達12年的埃及考古生涯。他住在底比斯的一個“古墓”中，搜集閱讀當地銘文，考察大量古埃及文化民俗遺跡，用“第一手材料”將埃及從傳說中解放出來，向西方世界證明了這個古老的文明與希臘和羅馬一樣有著令人驚嘆的活力與複雜。《神的子民：古埃及的風俗與日常》就是一部回到法老時代，從生活、政治、藝術、宗教等方面研究和描述古埃及民間生活百態的作品。作者在其中復原描繪的大量銘文和建築形態，也是後世諸多遺跡復原修復的重要依據。

“中國材質藝術”叢書通過專題分析的方式，深入探討了中國藝術中不同材質的開發與使用，以及這些材料在中國美術史中的重要性。第三輯《材料與譜系》不僅涵蓋了從古至今的廣闊歷史跨度，而且在增加材料種類的同時，引入了更多的研究角度和觀念。具體內容包括對中國玉文化沿革的探索、對中國“青銅時代”實質意義的思考、墨的製作和鑒賞、宣石在紫禁城中的使用，以及當代藝術家蔡國強使用火藥媒材製作的作品和創作過程。本書為我們提供了一個探索中國藝術材質的豐富寶庫，帶我們領略中國藝術材質的歷史演變，從而加深了我們對中國美術史的認識。“材質藝術”是藝術研究和藝術批評中的一個新觀念，指的是特定材料在藝術表現和表達中起到的關鍵作用，由此構成藝術發展和創作中的一個長遠傳統和重要方面。“材質” 一詞既指製作藝術品和建築物的“材料”，也意味著不同材料在意識形態和審美層次上的“質量” 。這個概念因此包含和聯結了物質和精神兩個維度，一方面引導我們探究藝術創作中對不同材料的選擇標準和使用方式，同時也促使我們探索這些材料所承載的歷史、文化、宗教、政治、性別和思想上的含義。因循這兩個維度，我們可以更加自覺地思考藝術創造與物質文化及技術發展之間的關係，也可以把中國美術中的諸多品種和特性與中國文化傳統的多元性更加緊密地連接起來。由於任何藝術品都由具體材料制成，“材質”這一觀念超越了時代和地區的限制，本叢書因此也有意在每輯中囊括有關古代、現代和當代中國藝術的文章，通過對材料和材質的共同關注把中國藝術史中的不同時段聯結在一起。
