Living in the castle are all the other children who had the same wish. Things are fun at first but, even though he is allowed cake for breakfast, it doesn't seem as fun as if he could share it with his naughty little brother.

Stunning illustrations by Sarah Massini bring the riverbank to life in all its glory, while the powerful intergenerational bond between grandparent and grandchild shows that just as spring always follows winter, hope will always return if you know where to look for it.

In Different, world-renowned primatologist Frans de Waal draws on decades of observation and studies of both human and animal behavior to argue that despite the linkage between gender and biological sex, biology does not automatically support the traditional gender roles in human societies. While humans and other primates do share some behavioral differences, biology offers no justification for existing gender inequalities.Using chimpanzees and bonobos to illustrate this point--two ape relatives that are genetically equally close to humans--de Waal challenges widely held beliefs about masculinity and femininity, and common assumptions about authority, leadership, cooperation, competition, filial bonds, and sexual behavior. Chimpanzees are male-dominated and violent, while bonobos are female-dominated and peaceful. In both species, political power needs to be distinguished from physical dominance. Power is not limited to the males, and both sexes show true leadership capacities.Differen

《探究策略55 示例》中文版是參考自Concept-based inquiry in action (2018, Corwin) 而來。原文書的作者是Carla Marschall 和Rachel French。Carla 曾在許多國教授 K-12 和 IB 課程；而 Rachel 是教育顧問，經常在世界各地支持學校發展探究為本的課程與教學。Rachel 於 2018 年11 月來臺5 天，引導我們的老師體驗探究為本的教學。為了讓更多老師能夠快速進入學習，我們將約80 種的探究策略先翻譯成中文，讓參與工作坊的老師先行閱讀。工作坊結束後，老師們決定摘取最常用的55 個策略，讓有意願的老師以身試「法」，並將教學歷程敘寫出來，讓其他老師們可以參考。於是，我們在2019 年出版第一本的《探究策略示例55》；2020 年調整部分內容、增加策略運用的說明，再版書名則修正為《探究策略55 中學篇》。 這本小書匯聚了許多教師的心血，今年我們向下延伸並出版《探究策略55 中小學篇》，參考本書所提供的工具，根據學生狀況與在地民俗風情給予不同的養分，由中小學的課室展開不同的樣貌，內容部分更提供更多中小學實踐示例。 探究策略共有7 個階段：投入、聚焦、調查、組織、通則、遷移、反思。反思則可融入其餘階段。雖然7個階段不一定是線性發展，但多少可反映由易入難、由簡入深的探究歷程。每一個階段都有多種策略可以使用，老師可依據學習目標、核心問題或主要概念，應用適合探究的策略，讓學生可以在此探索與討論過程中，有感思考，有意提問，有據理解，和有心創作。

封面人物 Ozone 音樂主播台 音樂巨人的浪漫情懷 ～作曲家拉赫曼尼諾夫～ 俄國作曲家拉赫曼尼諾夫(Sergei Rachmaninoff, 1873～1943)，2023年是拉赫曼尼諾夫150歲的誕生週年，以拉赫曼尼諾夫為主題的音樂會，從年初就世界各地開跑，在這屬於拉赫曼尼諾夫的年份，我們也來探尋他的音樂和生平故事！ 先聽一首拉赫曼尼諾夫的作品吧！ 就算沒聽過拉赫曼尼諾夫的名號，相信你應該也很難不被這柔美浪漫的旋律所感動，這正是來自拉赫曼尼諾夫所寫的《帕格尼尼主題狂想曲》，當中的第十八段變奏。西元1981年的老電影《似曾相識》，導演在電影中安排男主角，為女主角演奏拉赫曼尼諾夫的《帕格尼尼主題狂想曲》，但女主角卻表示，她從來沒聽過這首曲子，暗示電影中的男主角是穿越時空，來自未來。而這段浪漫抒情，細膩優美的第十八段變奏，不只讓這部愛情電影成為經典，也是拉赫曼尼諾夫最知名的代表作。 東洋動漫館 〈I'm Still Alive Today〉 ～電視動畫《派對咖孔明》插曲～ 本次介紹的歌曲〈I’m Still Alive Today〉是出現在原作第一話中的一首全英文插曲，劇情在描述女主角月見英子在覺得不會有人認真聽她歌聲的情況下，不經意拿起吉他唱起這首歌抒發情緒。然而，也是這首歌曲受到孔明的讚賞，認為她有感動人心的潛能，鼓勵她繼續加油。此曲背後配唱的聲優是由網路歌手「96貓」所擔任。所謂的網路歌手，即是其形象是近乎虛擬而只存在於網路世界的歌手，平常並不露臉，在網路上也只以特定形象之虛擬人物圖片來代表自己，然而係真有其人其聲（不同於初音未來的聲音完全是透過合成）。本曲由KennKato老師作詞、大西克巳老師作曲、日比野裕史老師編曲。 專題報導 如何讓兩個和弦發揮最大效益 ～作曲手法解析 Part.3～ 這回，我們來找找兩個和弦之間的最大公因數，以及示範如何應用吧！ ◎流行鋼琴雙月刊雜誌 ◎一網打盡港台日韓最in的哈燒金曲 ◎獨家推出忠於原味的鋼琴獨奏＋伴奏完整套譜 ◎揭露鍵盤編曲必殺技 ◎橫跨古典與流行，揉合東西方音樂元素
