Cook Prize-winning author Jordan Scott's luminously-illustrated love story of a girl growing up in the shadow of a glacier that's always there to listen. Angela listened to the glacier; the glacier listened to Angela. As soon as she's born, Angela's father introduces her to her glacier. He carries her on his back up the icy expanse as the wind makes music of the snow and the water underneath. Over time, Angela gets big enough to walk beside him, and then, to go alone. She tells her glacier everything, and it answers. But then, life gets busy. Angela's days fill up with school, homework, violin and soccer and friends. Until one day, Angela's heart doesn't sound right anymore. Luckily, Angela's dad is there to remind her what she needs: a visit to her ancient icy friend. From the award-winning author of I Talk Like a River, Angela's Glacier is a moving story about growing up without losing yourself, loving nature, and allowing it to love you in return.

This book is a comprehensive and easy to understand workbook. It utilizes step-by-step instructions to help guide readers to learn finite element simulations. Twenty seven case studies are used throughout the book. Many of these cases are industrial or research projects the reader builds from scratch. An accompanying DVD contains all the files readers may need if they have trouble. Relevant background knowledge is reviewed whenever necessary. To be efficient, the review is conceptual rather than mathematical, short, yet comprehensive. Key concepts are inserted whenever appropriate and summarized at the end of each chapter. Additional exercises or extension research problems are provided as homework at the end of each chapter.

直擊金字塔頂端的家庭教育現場，撼動人心的社會觀察！歡迎來到紐約曼哈頓頂級富豪的教養世界，在這裡，學術是一種痴迷；財富無助於緩解地位焦慮；父母想盡一切辦法，只為讓孩子在激烈的競爭中出類拔萃――光鮮亮麗的表象之下，我們看見的卻是扭曲失能的另一面。　這本細膩的記事，讓常以誇張手法呈現的世界充滿了人性。──《出版人週刊》對為人父母者財富和權勢的近距離審視，發人深省。──《柯克斯書評》 布萊絲沒想到自己有朝一日能靠著分析《大亨小傳》而成為曼哈頓的搶手家教！她原本可以樂在其中，但是當她深入豪門之家成為孩子們的家教之後，卻忍不住成為佛洛伊德的化身，也窺見了金字塔頂端家庭的另一面。 在一次偶然的機會下，布萊絲幫助一位豪門富家千金的成績從B＋進步到A，從此成為上流社會的熱門教師，也為她打開了上流教養世界的大門。這些家庭的孩子多半居住在第五大道中央公園附近，生活方式極盡奢華。家有變故就住五星級酒店；平日嗜好收集名流穿的天價品牌運動鞋；想逃避課業壓力就搭私人飛機去度假――她見到富豪家庭如何運用特權教養孩子，更窺見許多光怪陸離的景象。 這些孩子的富豪雙親已習於完全掌控孩子的生活行程。早晨把孩子送去學校後，就和其他父母在校旁咖啡館交流情報。他們以孩子的學習障礙為由讓老師允許孩子重考以提高成績。如果孩子的表現總是無法達到要求，他們也總有其他辦法：向校方施壓或是開出更多的支票。孩子放學後還有無止境的課程，除了基本的學業要求，還要學習樂器、參加各項運動培訓。這些父母將優秀的學歷當成上流家庭不可或缺的一部分，對孩子的教養採取嚴苛高壓的方式，唯一的目標就是確保他們進入一流學府。 而在外界看來令人艷羨的物質生活之下，孩子的精神狀態又是怎麼一回事呢？他們與家人的相處模式與時間，都與一般平凡家庭大相逕庭。這些孩子不僅價值觀、世界觀與他人不同，所感受到的孤寂、壓力、甚至種種心理上的症狀也超乎常人所能想像。坐享豪門家庭資源的同時，卻無法依隨己心選擇未來的道路，下場常是壓抑隱藏內心的空洞與缺陷。但這些面向往往也最常被掩飾在豪門家庭的亮麗表面下。布萊絲在其中看到的，正是孩子們在富豪家庭生活裡培養出的扭曲價值觀。 這些孩子為了應付家長們的高標準要求，學會的是逃避和謊言，長期生養在溫室裡也缺乏同情心及同理心。父母的安排讓他們飽受焦慮困擾，而父母操縱孩子的人生其實反映的更是自身焦慮。他們希望孩子能出類拔萃，卻忽

That’s middle school, and it can be a little . . . weird.Yes, there are cool things about middle school, like more independence, new friends, and new activities. But there’s baffling stuff too, like harsh judgment, the whole “popularity” thing, and, of course, drama. With insights from hundreds of students, this guidebook explores the halls of middle school, especially the odd behaviors that lurk in the shadows. Slip-on your lab coats, because we’re going to dissect these behaviors one by one to understand what’s really going on. With fun illustrations and choose-your-own-adventure-style scenarios, Middle School: Safety Goggles Advised will help you deal with the drama and define who you are and how to navigate life when things get, well, weird.
