The strongest weapon against pandemic is the truth. Read why in the definitive account of the 1918 Influenza Epidemic, adapted for young readers from the #1 New York Times bestseller.At the height of World War I, history’s most lethal influenza virus erupted in an army camp in Kansas, moved east with American troops, and then exploded worldwide, killing as many as 100 million people. It killed more in twenty-four months than AIDS killed in twenty-four years, more in a year than the Black Death killed in a century. It killed many more people than COVID-19, especially those who were young and otherwise healthy.This book, adapted from the #1 New York Times bestseller first published in 2004, shows young readers how this global tragedy came to pass; how science, war, and public policy collided; and how we might be able to prevent it from happening again. Impeccably researched and engrossingly told, The Great Influenza provides young readers with historical and scientific context for epidem

A curiosity-sparking book about water in rainstorms, the Great Lakes, the drip from our taps, and other places in our world. Water is everywhere, and we rely on it every single day. But do you ever wonder about water? How much water is on our planet? What happens when there is too much water or too little water? Why does it rain? What are lakes, rivers, seas, and oceans? Why are the seas and oceans blue and salty? What lives underwater? What about water in human history--how did people get water in ancient times? How do we get water today? What do humans build to travel on the water, and how have we harnessed waterpower? How do we protect this amazing resource for the future? Gorgeous and informative, Water invites children to tour through science and history with two characters they may recognize from Wind: Discovering Air in Motion. Colorful acrylic art and energetic text help readers learn about the natural resource we have depended on since the beginning of life itself.

白海豚、塑化劑、核廢料也能為自己「伸冤」？ 協商劇場，是一種「結合藝術展演與社會科學研究」的教學法，以角色扮演、辯論等方式呈現政治協商的「合縱連橫」，聚合來自各領域與意見相左的利害關係人，激盪出不同面向的思維與辯證；其可以廣泛地與各式各樣科技相關的社會議題相結合，和傳統教學方法相輔相成，成為一種探討與培育我們如何認識與面對科技爭議的新途徑，從中學習如何探索爭議的內涵及找到可接受的暫時安置方法，而一齣未完待續的劇場，能開啟我們共同政治願景的想像與可能性。本書收錄的五場「協商劇場」教學實驗歷程，是2020年台北雙年展《你我不住在同一星球上》之展演成果。由台灣科技與社會研究學會（Taiwan Science, Technology and Society Association）與五所大學師生們合作，將該展覽軸心拉回我們自身島嶼的經緯，針對離岸風電、核廢、助孕科技、塑化劑與減碳等社會議題開展課程，並於台北市立美術館進行公眾展演。當人類角色與非人角色，以及其他參與者走進（捲入）盤據美術館地下展場的亮橘色漩渦狀長椅，就很難再有離場的機會，而此公眾設施在美術館「劇場」內，便成為「協商」的敘事舞台。可貴之處是，這個協商過程並非為了尋求特定答案，而是尋找如何解決的方式。 ●專文推薦面對這些處境，與其感到無能為力，我們用「協商劇場」結合藝術、戲劇、表演，還有STS（Science, Technology and Society），實驗性地探討接下來的進路。——馬汀．圭納（Martin Guinard）／獨立策展人，與布魯諾•拉圖（Bruno Latour）共同擔任2020台北雙年展策展人 「協商劇場」不只是個空間或議事場，它是以美術館／視覺藝術為脈絡、攪動價值體系和社會結構的漩渦，在進入這個渦流系統之前與之後，……驚覺我們對世界知識的狹隘，反省和重新尋找我們在世界該有或可有的位置。——林平／台北市立美術館前館長暨東海大學美術系專任教授，現任臺灣美術基金會執行長 如果你在翻閱過程中，對於某些議題持著不同的立場與論點，或是覺得你更適合作為代表，那就令人放心了！協商劇場的「開放式結局」不會因為這本書而進入完結篇，真實中的各類爭議仍需要不斷的討論與修正。——林怡華／2020台北雙年展公眾計畫策展人 ●適用於各教學現場的「協商劇場」之前看過20

"Lei and the Fire Goddess blends preteen angst and beloved Hawaiian moʻolelo in a way that hasn't been done before." --Auliʻi Cravalho, actress and voice of Disney's Princess Moana Curses aren't real. At least, that's what twelve-year-old, part-Hawaiian Anna Leilani Kamaʻehu thinks when she listens to her grandmother's folktales about sacred flowers and family guardians. Anna's friends back home in Colorado don't believe in legends, either. They're more interested in science and sports--real, tangible things that stand in total contrast to Anna's family's embarrassing stories. So when Anna goes back to Hawaiʻi to visit her Tūtū, she has no interest in becoming the heir to her family's history; she's set on having a touristy, fun vacation. But when Anna accidentally insults Pele the fire goddess by destroying her lehua blossom, a giant hawk swoops in and kidnaps her best friend, and she quickly learns just how real these moʻolelo are. In order to save her friends and family, Anna must n

An examination of the Counter-Enlightenment movement in China. In Modern Chinese Counter-Enlightenment, Peng Hsiao-yen argues that a trend of Counter-Enlightenment had grown from the late Qing to the May Fourth era in the 1910s to the 1920s and continued to the 1940s. She demonstrates how Counter-Enlightenment was manifested with case studies such as Lu Xun's writings in the late 1900s, the Aesthetic Education movement from the 1910s to 1920s, and the Science and Lifeview debate in the 1920s. During the period, the life philosophy movement, highlighting the epistemic debate on affect and reason, is connected with its counterparts in Germany, France, and Japan. The movement had a widespread and long-term impact on Chinese philosophy and literature. Using the transcultural lexicon as methodology, this book traces how the German term Lebensanschauung (life view), a key concept in Rudolf Eucken's life philosophy, constituted a global tide of Counter-Enlightenment that influenced the though
