「讀書」這件事被社會型塑的太過艱澀而不可親近了，讀Facebook的訊息其實也是一種「讀」，分享貼文上面寫上一些你對這篇分享文章的想法其實也是一種「筆記」。讀書其實有很多形式，只是我們最容易有刻板印象的就是坐在角落揮汗如雨的讀，但是，如果連想起來都覺得很痛苦的話，你怎麼會想要「去讀書」甚至「一直讀書」？如果我們升學管道就是那幾個，不免俗地必須接受大考們的洗禮時，我們要用甚麼姿態、甚麼心境、怎麼準備這些生命必經之事？

Site characterization is indispensable to good geotechnical or rock engineering practice as every site is unique, but technical, budget, time, or access constraints typically result in only a tiny fraction of the underground soil and rock in a site being visually inspected, sampled, or tested. This leads to a long- lasting challenge of sparse measurements in geo- sciences and engineering. This book introduces Bayesian compressive sensing or sampling (BCS) as a highly efficient spatial data...

Localization and mapping play a critical role in the autonomous task execution of mobile robots. This book covers the theoretical and technological aspects of robot localization and mapping, including visual localization and mapping, visual relocalization, LiDAR localization and mapping, and place recognition.It provides the theoretical foundations of robot localization and mapping. It employs both traditional methods, such as geometry-based visual localization, and state-of-the-ar...

This book analyzes how Chinese people use their time, including how busy Chinese seek a healthy work-life balance, how some children win from the outset in terms of education, and how people pursue quality of life outside of or after work. General readers will get a vivid and detailed impression of the way Chinese people spend their time, while researchers will find a wealth of phenomena and data for analysis from both economic and social perspectives.The research presented here wa...
