探討如何將電腦科學中的演算法原理應用到日常生活與人類決策中。作者結合心理學、認知科學與計算機科學，說明演算法不僅是電腦解題的工具，更是我們在面對生活難題時可借鑑的思考模型。本書涵蓋多種實用議題，透過演算法的視角來處理生活中的決策與權衡，例如：➤最佳停下時機（Optimal Stopping）：如何判斷在眾多選項中何時停止尋找並做出決定，如招聘或約會。➤探索與利用的平衡（Explore-Exploit Trade-off）：何時探索新機會，何時利用已知資源。➤排序與組織：提升查找效率的策略。➤快取管理：如何在有限記憶空間中有效保留重要資訊。➤工作排程與切換成本：如何管理多任務與優先順序。➤貝氏定理（Bayes's Rule）：結合先驗知識與新資訊做出推論。➤放寬問題限制：在無解或計算困難的情況下，尋求「夠好」的近似解。➤隨機性與資源管理：利用隨機策略在不確定環境下取得良好結果。➤網絡與遊戲理論：理解互動系統與多方利益的決策動態。書中強調，雖然演算法能為複雜問題提供指導，但現實生活中決策仍存在不確定性和失敗風險。重要的是採用合理的策略來面對時間與資源限制，並學習在不完美中作出最佳抉擇。該書還指出，人類在面對計算難題時，常能透過直覺和簡化模型達成驚人的表現。此書獲得廣泛好評，被譽為一本能讓人重新認識「演算法」不僅屬於科技領域，更是生活智慧的指導手冊。A fascinating exploration of how computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives. What should we do, or leave undone, in a day or a lifetime? Exploring how insights from computer algorithms can be applied to our everyday lives, 'Algorithms To Live By' helps to solve common decision-making problems and illuminate the workings of the human mind.

Pulitzer Prize winner and American master Anne Tyler brings us an inspired, witty and irresistible contemporary take on one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies Kate Battista feels stuck. How did she end up running house and home for her eccentric scientist father and uppity, pretty younger sister Bunny? Plus, she’s always in trouble at work – her pre-school charges adore her, but their parents don’t always appreciate her unusual opinions and forthright manner. Dr. Battista has other problems. After years out in the academic wilderness, he is on the verge of a breakthrough. His research could help millions. There’s only one problem: his brilliant young lab assistant, Pyotr, is about to be deported. And without Pyotr, all would be lost.When Dr. Battista cooks up an outrageous plan that will enable Pyotr to stay in the country, he’s relying – as usual – on Kate to help him. Kate is furious: this time he’s really asking too much. But will she be able to resist the two men’s t

在 Mac and Mac 的世界裡，什麼問題都能被荒唐的想法解決。兩兄弟腦袋空空，常被朋友耍得團團轉，連派都吃不到完整的一份。為了逃避鋪床，他們竟異想天開跑去睡在床下；為了爭一口派，又鬧出一堆笑話。全書採用漫畫風敘事，文字幽默、插圖誇張，讓孩子們讀來哈哈大笑。這種結合打鬧與民間故事元素的創作，也讓讀者在娛樂之餘，重新看見民間故事的創意詮釋。Mac and Mac, who love pie and hate making their beds, are hollow-headed. "See in here? Nothing! Zippo! Nada!" Mac explains. That’s why they get duped by their friend Meatball and fooled out of their fair shares of apple pie. Slapstick humor, puns and wacky fun abound as the empty-headed duo comes up with outlandish solutions for everyday problems, such as sleeping under their beds to avoid ever having to make them again. Written in a comic-book style, this book will have young readers rolling on the floor, and educators rethinking their approaches to folklore.

《哲學大綱》（An Outline of Philosophy, 1927）探討了人的外在環境、物理世界、人的內在心智和世界本體共四種認識論和形而上學問題。本書雖然是一部面對普通讀者的通俗讀物，卻是自《哲學問題》（The Problems of Philosophy, 1912）開始到《人類的知識》（Human Knowledge, 1944）為止，羅素運用分析哲學的方法研究認知論和形而上學歷程中一部重要著作。早期的研究，如《哲學問題》和《我們關於外在世界的知識》（Our Knowledge of the External World, 1914）等著作，集中在物理哲學的研究，並帶有強烈的現象學色彩。中期的研究以《心的分析》（The Analysis of Mind, 1921）開始，以《物的分析》（The Analysis of Matter, 1927）結束。早期的研究被擴展到心理認知層面，使得羅素式的經驗主義知識論的基本輪廓得以成型。並為後期的《意義與真理探討》（An Inquiry Into Meaning and Truth, 1940）和《人類的知識》的完成奠定了框架性基礎。《哲學大綱》是中期成果的一份簡介和清晰的彙報。不僅通俗易懂，而且補充了不少更加生動的例子。如金岳霖在《羅素哲學》（上海人民出版社，1988）一書中對羅素的中立一元論觀點的批判時就是多次使用了本書中的例子。另外，本書的一些部分也是羅素中國之行時哲學演講的內容，對中國的讀者來說具有特殊的意味。
