1872年到1875年,大清王朝先後派出4批共120名官費留學生,遠涉重洋,踏上美國的土地,成為中國最早的哈佛等留學生,包含詹天佑、黃開甲等清末重要革新人士,此為歷史上知名的「清末留美幼童」;相隔百年,國立臺灣大學陸續赴美留學的菁英學子,勤奮向學,經過50年的生聚教訓,相隔一個世紀之後,即將返臺參加國立臺灣大學85周年校慶,回顧與展望中華民國百年後的新世紀!《2013年臺大人返臺大團圓》活動主持人丘宏義博士將帶領畢業超過50年且事業有成的臺大早期校友,透過歐美最夯的微出版(Micropublishing)資訊科技,返臺出版《臺大人回憶錄》(NTU Memoir Project)並同步以印刷書(Print On Demand)與電子書(Kindle E-Book)新媒體方式發行全球(Global Publishing)。透過臺大人的文字記錄、口述歷史、影像回憶、手稿與老照片,丘宏義博士將帶領臺灣各界重新回憶臺大人是如何在50年前中華民國──臺灣艱困的學習環境中奮發圖強、積極向上,並且在遙遠的美國異鄉如何力爭上游、不卑不亢,終於今日的美國主流社會占有一席之地。臺大早期校友的回憶,彷彿就像一部臺灣的文化拓荒史,值得臺大學弟妹與中華民國社會各界學習與省思!
"前人種樹、後人乘涼",北美臺大早期校友多於五○年代畢業,配合二○一三年母校臺灣大學85周年校慶,在曹祖寧、許翼雲與華之星編輯的舊版"我們的那個年代"與"振翅雲霄"二書的基礎下,由漢世紀總裁丘宏義博士領軍,廣邀百位臺大早期校友共同撰文記錄下屬於臺大早期校友(NTUEG)的「那個不平凡的年代」;臺大人回憶錄叢書帶給讀者的不僅是回憶與懷舊,閱讀本書,彷彿引領您走入時光隧道,重新體驗當年臺大早期校友智、仁、勇的勵志小品、校園趣談、成功紀事,期許為芊芊學子指引一條光明之道。本書英文題名"The Albatross of Our Generation",英文字"Albatross"是一種鳥類,學名「信天翁」,是地球上最大的鳥類之一,翅膀強而有力,一生之內可以繞地球數次,也象徵了臺大早期校友如「信天翁」般、在當年中華民國外交困境中從臺灣負笈留洋的不凡歷史。
本叢書屬於"臺大人文庫──臺大人回憶錄"系列,由漢世紀EHGBooks全球發行,印刷書與Kindle電子書發行版稅將永久捐贈國立臺灣大學──臺大早期校友如同中華民國文化薪傳──永不絕版、守護中華民國臺灣。

Store description
**Please note our transit times are from the date of dispatch.** We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first purchase with us, or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
