平均數的誤解：正確的計算，卻帶來錯誤決策！商業人士如何解讀數據 (The Average is Always Wrong)

伊恩．雪帕德 (Ian Shepherd)

◎公司對媒體宣稱，年終平均6個月，基層員工群起反彈：哪有這麼多？
◎客戶滿意度達84％──聽起來很棒，但抽樣可能一開始就沒找上給差評的人。
◎優衣庫最在乎的數字不是熱賣品，而是哪些衣服試穿後又被放回──用意是？

◎商業人士該如何解讀數據？

企業經常參考「客戶平均光臨次數」、「平均消費金額」，
但如果樣本中有極端值，計算出來的平均數反而會誤導你。

例如：「某商品的平均庫存期為3週」，看起來很合理，
但其中或許有分店高達20週，如果只看平均數，便難以發現問題。
所以你必須參考中位數和標準差。

‧分店業績大幅提升，是因為行銷策略奏效了？
評估成效不應單看店鋪銷售額成長，而是利用對照組，
把採取行銷策略與未採取的門市拿出來比較，才能判斷。

◎什麼樣的數據才有參考價值？

客戶滿意度達84％──聽起來很棒，真的嗎？
除了請客戶直接評分（但他可能出於禮貌而填高分），
也可以調查淨推薦值：客戶是否會向朋友推薦（這個比較準確）。
還可以問一個具體的問題：「你今天找到想買的東西了嗎？」

‧你可以不懂演算法，但要利用它：
優衣庫（UNIQLO）的每件商品都有「RFID電子標籤」，
一籃商品放上自助結帳機，就能自動感應客戶買什麼。
還能用來追蹤，有多少比例的衣服被拿進試衣間試穿後，又被消費者放回架上。
這才是商品開發人員最該參考的指標。（都試穿了為何不買？）

商業人士該如何解讀數據？什麼時候不該只看平均數？
對簡單的表面數據稍加挖掘，才不會被各種「均值」誤導。

Everybody Loves Our Dollars - How Money Laundering Won

Oliver Bullough
check holdings in CityUHK LibraryFind
check resources on the same subject in CityUHK LibraryFind

From the bestselling author of MONEYLAND and BUTLER TO THE WORLD, a revelatory new anatomy of global money laundering, the crime that makes crime pay

Without money laundering, few crimes of acquisition would be worth the trouble. South America's drug cartels would be stuffed without it, as would Nigerian kleptocrats, Afghan terrorists, American tax evaders and a whole bestiary of human (and animal) traffickers the world over.

And yet, estimates of the dirty portion of world GDP have held steady at 2%-5% for decades. All efforts at legislation, diplomacy, prosecution and compliance have been a complete flop. It's not a lack of will to stamp it out. It's a lack of insight. So join bestselling investigative journalist Oliver Bullough on a perspective-altering adventure through the flipside of the global economy.

In the criminal world, cash is still king (in fact, crime might now be the main thing cash is good for, and even why it still exists). Barter is pretty good too: vast, continent-wide exchanges of everything from luxury handbags to baby eels support a triangular drug trade linking Europe to the Far East. Cryptocurrencies flow through paper ledgers that would make a Florentine merchant feel at home.

And the system works. Whether you're a fraudster, a cartel boss, a corrupt politician, a kleptocrat or a terrorist mastermind, your options to move and hide your money are more secure and more impenetrable than they have ever been. There has never been a better time to be a criminal. It's time that changed.

An in-depth anthropological study of the eating habits and culinary practices throughout Hong Kong’s rapidly shifting cultural spheres.

As cornerstones of cultural identity formation, food cultures and regional cuisine distinctly reflects the complex geopolitical forces that shaped Hong Kong. As the region’s history is woven through national power struggles and colonial rulership, the foodways of Hong Kong often reflect the real-time dialogue between shifting populations, cultural forces, and volatile economies. Hong Kong Foodways examines the social relations, cultural currents, and economies of food production that shape the region’s food culture through different periods of social and political development. This book advances anthropological inquiries into the fastest-changing society in East Asia by addressing issues concerning identity, migration, consumerism, globalization, and the invention of local cuisines.

★ 《財星》500大企業、各國政府組織、頂尖奧運選手實證的高抗挫心法 ★
★ 結合認知心理學、心理神經免疫學和神經生理學的強大韌性思維鍛鍊 ★

儘管聰明才智和能力相當，有些人卓越頂尖，有些人則平庸度過一生。
「逆商」就是最好的答案。

‧為什麼許多有天賦、高智商的人，卻遲遲未能發揮潛力？
‧為什麼有些企業家敢孤注一擲，其他企業家卻選擇放棄？
‧為什麼有些組織或機構在競爭中勝出，其他組織或機構則遭逢潰敗？

　◤逆商，全方位的成功預測指標◢

那些脫穎而出、與眾不同的各界翹楚，與容易卻步、半途而廢，甚至一開始就放棄的凡夫俗子，究竟差在哪裡……在這瞬息萬變的AI時代，生活快速變化使得許多人幾乎喘不過氣，結果就是整個社會彌漫絕望的無助感。

史托茲博士根據19年研究與10年應用的成果，認為如果我們能夠衡量和強化對於逆境的反應，不僅可提升生產力和績效表現，甚至有助身心健康，進而使人生充滿意義。

影響逆商的五個面向：

˙控制Control
你覺得自己對於現在遇到的逆境有多少控制力？
˙來源Origin
你覺得現在遇到的逆境，是源自什麼人或什麼事？
˙歸屬Ownership
你覺得現在遇到的逆境，你在多大程度上需要承擔？
˙波及範圍Reach
你覺得現在遇到的逆境，對生活的影響會達到什麼程度？
˙持久性Endurance
你覺得現在遇到的逆境會持續多久，以及造成逆境的原因會持續多久？

史托茲博士的逆商提升訓練方法不僅適用於個人生活，也廣泛應用於工作職場、校園、政府部門，以及奧運賽場。

書中更提供一套逆境反應量表，無論你是學生、職場上班族還是組織領導者，都能從中獲取如何化困局為轉機，讓自己不斷精進的必要能力。

A thoroughly updated edition of a beloved classic that has guided generations of researchers in conducting effective and meaningful research.

With more than a million copies sold since its first publication, The Craft of Research has helped generations of researchers at every level—from high-school students and first-year undergraduates to advanced graduate students to researchers in business and government. Conceived by seasoned researchers and educators Wayne C. Booth, Gregory G. Colomb, and Joseph M. Williams, this fundamental work explains how to choose significant topics, pose genuine and productive questions, find and evaluate sources, build sound and compelling arguments, and convey those arguments effectively to others.

While preserving the book’s proven approach to the research process, as well as its general structure and accessible voice, this new edition acknowledges the many ways research is conducted and communicated today. Thoroughly revised by Joseph Bizup and William T. FitzGerald, it recognizes that research may lead to a product other than a paper—or no product at all—and includes a new chapter about effective presentations. It features fresh examples from a variety of fields that will appeal to today’s students and other readers. It also accounts for new technologies used in research and offers basic guidelines for the appropriate use of generative AI. And it ends with an expanded chapter on ethics that addresses researchers’ broader obligations to their research communities and audiences as well as systemic questions about ethical research practices.

“A fascinating examination of a feature of human nature that all of us have, most of us deplore (at least in others), and few of us understand.”
—Steven Pinker, New York Times bestselling author of Rationality and Enlightenment Now

"An entertaining examination of the underlying reasons behind our attraction to the macabre."
—The New York Times Book Review

The leading expert on the science behind morbid curiosity explains our spooky, gory, and macabre fascinations

What makes us peek at a car wreck or binge-watch true crime shows late into the night? Why are some of us drawn to horror movies while others shudder at the thought? In Morbidly Curious, scientist Coltan Scrivner takes readers on a thrilling journey into the psychology of morbid curiosity, uncovering why we can’t resist the macabre. From grisly serial killers to spine-chilling paranormal stories, Scrivner reveals the psychological forces that compel us to explore our darkest fears—and explains how this proclivity is more than just a quirk. It’s a powerful survival instinct, helping us mentally prepare for real-world threats, all from the safety of our imaginations.

Blending fascinating insights and cutting-edge research at haunted houses across the world, Scrivner makes a powerful argument for the value of playing with fear and embracing the gruesome. Whether you're a horror fan yourself or just want to better understand the true crime craze, Morbidly Curious will open your eyes to the hidden benefits of exploring the dark side of human nature.

The Untold Story of Steve Jobs's Wilderness Years—and the Creation of a Legend

In 1985, Steve Jobs—the brilliant, volatile founder of Apple Computer—walked out of his company's headquarters, driven from the very corporation he had created. What happened next would transform not only his life and career, but the future of technology itself.

For twelve years, from 1985 to 1997, Jobs wandered the business wilderness with his new venture, NeXT. It was a period of spectacular failures, near-bankruptcy, and brutal humiliation. But out of this crucible of defeat emerged the visionary leader who would go on to create the iPod, iPhone, and iPad, transforming Apple into the most valuable company on earth.

Drawing on previously unpublished materials and new interviews with the key players, Geoffrey Cain reveals the untold story of Steve Jobs's "lost decade"—the formative years that shaped the icon we thought we knew. With unprecedented access to unbroadcast footage of Jobs in NeXT meetings, private company documents, and interviews with his closest colleagues, Cain offers the definitive account of how failure transformed a brash wunderkind into a true business genius.

This is the story of how Steve Jobs learned to lead, how he discovered the power of discipline, and how a spectacular failure became the foundation for one of the greatest comebacks in business history. It is nothing less than the missing piece in the legend of Steve Jobs.

I Am Not a Robot: My Year Using AI to Do (Almost) Everything

AN INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER

What happens when intelligent machines aren’t just in our pockets but are also driving our cars, making our decisions, folding our laundry, and educating our kids?

You’ve heard the hype: AI will make us healthier, give every child a personalized tutor, run our businesses more efficiently, return hours of free time to our overworked brains, and make discoveries previously unimagined by humankind. The AI future is going to be unlike any other technological revolu­tion. But what does that really mean? And will AI truly make life better?

To find out, award-winning journalist Joanna Stern surrendered her life to artificial intelligence for one year. The results are both hilarious and unsettling.

I Am Not a Robot is like a time machine trip to the very near future, where AI promises to be your doctor, chauffeur, teacher, masseuse, coworker, thera­pist, financial planner, chef, housekeeper, and even . . . romantic partner. Your colleague might be using ChatGPT to write emails at work, but Joanna used AI tools and robots to do household chores, to manage her health, and to transport her family on vacation. If there was a decision to make or a task to do, she let AI go first. Along the way, she conducted exclusive interviews with the tech leaders building this future, then reported back from the front lines as your funny, no-nonsense tour guide.

Of course, tech’s sunny promises never tell the whole story, and that’s what Joanna is here to share. Filled with illustrations and photographs, this book offers less hype, more clarity, and as little jargon as humanly (or robotically) possible. It’s an AI guide for ordinary people—not the tech bros who tried to sell you a cruise to the metaverse or an NFT of a cartoon monkey.

This book is not the definitive story, because we’re only a few years into the AI revolution. But after a year of living as a human lab rat, Joanna deliv­ers one of the clearest—and funniest—pictures yet of what’s really happening and what it means for you.

How have places in Hong Kong evolved since well before the 19th century? Villages and Market Towns in Hong Kong is a vital book, showing us how its various suburban settlements came into being. Such is a history of immense interest as well as unending fascination.

Since arriving at Hong Kong more than half a century ago, Patrick Hase has been researching its local history, with a particular focus on the market towns and villages in the New Territories. Due to a lack of written documentation for the study of these communities, much of his research was conducted through oral interviews with village elders in the 1980s and 1990s. Hase sought their memories of the villages in their youth, as well as their grandparents’ accounts of the communities prior to the age of high technology, urbanization, and modernization.

Frames of Mind: The Theory of Multiple Intelligences [4th edition, 2026]

Howard Gardner
check holdings in CityUHK LibraryFind
check resources on the same subject in CityUHK LibraryFind

In this groundbreaking classic, a leading psychologist argues that there are many human intelligences.

"Brilliant." —New York Review of Books

When we call someone “intelligent,” we are often referring to traits like their high SAT score, their performance on an IQ test, or their ability to perform in today’s schools—which prioritize linguistic and mathematical abilities. Traits like these underlie most popular and psychological understanding of intelligence—but they tell a very incomplete story.

In this revolutionary classic, now updated with a new introduction, psychologist and educator Howard Gardner offers a dramatically different account: that by limiting our understanding of intelligence to “school smarts,” we miss the impressive range of talents and aptitudes that characterize the human species. Gardner instead posits the revolutionary theory of multiple intelligences, which encompasses musical ability to physical dexterity to deep knowledge of other persons—and of oneself—each of which merits the label “intelligence.”

In a penetrating update, Gardner’s Frames of Mind celebrates all forms of intellect—the varieties found in various animal species, plants, and ever-more powerful instruments of artificial intelligence.

黃金從未離開世界運行中心，只是靜待下一次規則改寫
為什麼「現在」正是讀這本書的最佳時機？因為此刻我們正站在財富流動的歷史轉折點上！當全球通膨蠶食了購買力、地緣政治引發金融制裁，大家對以美元為核心的法幣體系，已經產生史無前例的信任裂痕。

美國如何利用黃金，開啟美元霸權時代？中、俄又是如何試圖透過「金磚」挑戰現有規則？本書深入揭露各國央行——特別是中國，祕密增持數千噸黃金的背後意圖。

※黃金在「數位時代」的貨幣進化論
虛擬貨幣興起，當比特幣被稱為「數位黃金」時，兩者之間究竟是取代關係，還是財富邏輯的延伸？本書前瞻性地探討了貨幣體系的未來重構。

AI is often framed as a force of radical transformation, either catapulting us into a utopian future or dragging us toward existential ruin. But this book tells a different story. It’s not about high-profile tech CEOs who want to use AI to “break shit,” but about a bunch of smart pragmatists using AI to make the world better.

Josh Tyrangiel’s journey into AI began with a late-night YouTube video featuring General Gustave Perna, the retired four-star general who orchestrated the distribution of Covid vaccines during Operation Warp Speed. Perna’s success—and the end of the pandemic—depended on AI’s practical ability to synthesize and standardize vast amounts of logistical data. AI wasn’t the hero of the story—it was the tool that helped real people get things done.

This book follows those people, who make up a kind of AI counterculture. It explores AI’s quiet revolution in government services, medicine, education, and human connection—places where it’s being used to amplify human judgment rather than replace it. It tells the stories of teachers, doctors, and bureaucrats who often stumbled into AI as a means to solve specific, tangible problems, often with no prior software expertise.

While the loudest voices in AI debate doomsday scenarios and trillion-dollar market opportunities, this book focuses on those working in the messy, incremental, but deeply impactful space of AI practice. However, there is one big caveat—success is not guaranteed. Change is hard. Institutions move slowly. But even in failure there are lessons for everyone who’s interested in using AI—carefully, thoughtfully—to build a better world today.
