Tiny Book Sold for Big Price Oh, hello. I'm reading a book. It's a really interesting story. But it's a big, heavy, and long book! It's taking a long time to finish. 我現在看的書又厚又重,已經看很久了。 I might try a shorter, smaller book next time. Not too small though. Not like a tiny book I heard about recently that's so small you can't even read it! 我聽說有一本書非常小,小到看不見寫什麼! Made in Germany, this book is just 5 millimeters by 5 millimeters. That's the size of the end of a pencil! 這本書是德國做的,長跟寬都只有5釐米,像鉛筆的筆尖那麼小! If you want to read it, you'll need a magnifying glass because the words are so small! 要用放大鏡才看得到字。 The book was recently sold for over 130,000 NT! Someone paid a lot of money for a teeny-tiny book that's really hard to read! Unbelievable! 有人用13萬台幣買了這本小小的書,真的很不可思議! Not only that, but if you put the book down for a second, it could be gone! It's so small you could easily lose it! 那麼小的書應該也很容易弄丟吧! I think I'll stick with my big book.

This Impact Studios production is a collaboration with the Governor family, UTS Faculty of Law and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.The Last Outlaws teamKatherine Biber - UTS Law Professor and Chief InvestigatorAunty Loretta Parsley - Great-granddaughter of Jimmy Governor and the Governor Family Historian Leroy Parsons - Governor descendant, Narrator and Co-WriterKaitlyn Sawrey - Host, Writer and Senior ProducerFrank Lopez - Writer, Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
