當東方傳統的「打罵教育」 遇上美國教育家的「柔性管理」 在講求民主的時代，體罰已逐漸被淘汰， 但――不能打罵孩子，就不知道怎麼教育孩子了嗎？ 那你真是愧對「父母」的身分！ 雅各布．艾伯特（Jacob Abbott）告訴你： 只有無能的父母才會訴諸暴力， 孩子之所以不聽話，是因為「認同感」尚未成立！ The Principles on Which a Firm Parental Authority May Be Established and Maintained, Without Violence or Anger, and the Right Development of the Moral and Mental Capacities Be Promoted by Methods in Harmony with the Structure and the Characteristics of the Juvenile Mind ――在符合青少年心理結構及性格特點的原則下，以柔和手法建立家長的權威；並以非暴力形式正確促進青少年道德與心理發展 ▎三種帶有「暴力」性質的教育方法 ►體罰 有些父母會在一氣之下責打孩子，甚至將孩子關進「小黑屋」， 他們認為這類懲罰能有效讓孩子意識到自己的錯誤並加以改正。 事實上，過度的刺激不僅傷害幼童身體的正常發育， 更可能導致孩子長期對父母、家庭抱持怨恨心態， 成為長大後神經錯亂或身體機能失調的根源，為日後生活埋下隱患。 ►恐嚇 所謂「恐嚇」，就是利用恐怖故事和鬼怪形象威脅孩子。 「再不乖乖聽話，幽靈就會把你帶走吃掉喔！」 這些恐嚇看似未對孩子身體造成傷害， 恐怖心理卻透過孩子的想像無限放大， 最終產生精神疾病，開始害怕黑暗或者害怕獨自一人。 ►斥責 在所有的暴力教育中，斥責往往最容易被忽略， 父母希望透過嚴厲的批評和責罵，使孩子產生愧疚感和危機意識。 表面上看起來沒什麼問題，但如果用力過猛，傷害孩子的敏感神經， 很可能適得其反，導致孩子出現焦慮症，隨時處於恐懼和緊張中。 ▎兩種樹立父母權威的「懷柔」技巧 ►有錯必懲：抑制叛逆心理 所謂柔性教育，並不是指無止境地溺愛孩子， 而是把「順從」培養成孩子的習慣，讓他們「自主聽話」。 父母要切記：不要讓孩子透過叛逆的行為來獲得好處。 相反，當孩子反抗家長的指示或感到不以為然時， 家長應適度處罰孩子

Abstract This book is a strategic analysis of Chinese chess application, particularly in political culture for the new Taiwanese during the KMT Ma administration I & II in Central Taipei. The research looks at the way that their political socialisation was affected by changes to the curricular guidelines for their citizenship courses (c.2008-2016). It seeks to show that citizenship education policy implementation in Taiwan had an over-scaled nationalist bias that impacted on foreign spouse learners. Fieldwork by means of in-depth interviews and classroom observations is integrated into a baseline analysis of governmental and NGO public discourses, marital immigration regulations and relevant reports. The book explicates the underlying cleavages in the struggles over pathways to citizenship that have created a complex series of links in the newcomers’ political socialisation. It thus examines how the Ma administrations addressed integration and dealt with related issues

Three women, from three different continents and separated by generations, share stories of coming to the United States. Sarah's great-great grandmother Manya fled the Cossacks in the Ukraine at the turn of the twentieth century.Grace's mom escaped with her family during the Iranian revolution in 1979. Raquel and her family fled gang violence in El Salvador in the 2010s.These three stories, all accounts of the authors' real family stories-Manya is legendary author Jane Yolen's grandmother-highlight the essential commonality of the immigrant experience.About the real families in this book.All three of these stories are fictionalized accounts based on the facts of how our families came toAmerica. All three families were fleeing oppression, revolutions, gang violence, possible death. Ourstories sound very much the same, though they are generations apart.Jane's family on both sides came over to America in the early 1900s from the Ukraine,(the Yolens) and Latvia (the Morowitz-Berlins). But

Grounded in a desire to bring back to life rare items from the University of Hong Kong’s Fung Ping Shan Library that are entwined within the world of music and to place them in a context of books and images in American, British, and other Asian collections, Chinese Music in Print views the library as a repository not of information but of artifact, and then uses these artifacts as a means for generating scholarly narrative. It begins by assessing seminal texts in the Confucian canon set against the delicacy of the concubine and amanuensis Shen Cai’s calligraphy and poetry. Confucianism was itself a crucial aspect of courtly life, and an exploration of its ritual is the book’s second theme. Vernacular genres of opera and song are represented in the third chapter, while the Great Sage returns in the fourth for an exploration of the repertoire and richness of his favourite instrument, the qin. The final chapter ends the journey with discussion of the legacy of generations of Europeans who

During the early stages of its development, Taiwan’s New Literature was intimately connected with realism.The year 2022 is the one-hundredth anniversary of fiction writing in Taiwan, and also the one-hundredth anniversary of modernist literature in the English-speaking world. For the former, this is the one-hundredth anniversary of the publication of Chui Feng’s “Where Will She Go?” For the latter, it is the one-hundredth anniversary of the publication of James Joyce’s (1882–1941) novel Ulysses, and Anglo-American writer T. S. Eliot’s (1888–1965) poem The Waste Land. When the Alphabet Lab was first established, it also paid tribute to the contribution of modernism in the development of post-war Taiwan literature. In this special fiftieth issue on “Taiwan Fiction and ‘Realism,’” we once again identify and trace out the pathways and objectives of Taiwan’s writer apostles over the past one-hundred years.台灣新文學的發展，以追風的〈她要往何處去〉為濫觴，發表於1922年，至今剛好一百年。台灣新文學發軔時，歐美現代主義發展已達到高峰，台灣必然受到影響，可見現代主義與現實主義，

只要找回自己的聲音、尊重自己所是，並以神聖陰性為本質的自傲之姿……我們一定能夠破除所有障礙，開創新局。———本書作者寫於30週年版前言———本書的寫作與神話學大師喬瑟夫‧坎伯名著《千面英雄》有密切關係。作者茉琳．莫德克為榮格取向的治療師，她認為該書的英雄之旅僅屬於男人，其追尋的旅程也不符合女性的經驗，於是這本專門探索女性內在成長的《女英雄的旅程》便誕生了。自1990初版以來，本書已翻譯成十多種語言。在這性別平權、#Me Too運動逐漸受重視的年代，《女英雄的旅程》三十週年版讓我們有機會重新省視女性的處境。在男性價值觀當道的社會，女性總會不自覺追求被設定的主流標準。然而，無論是模仿男性般的成功典範，或是刻板的妖豔形象，都無法得到真正的快樂。疲於奔命的女性因此進入了黑暗，轉而踏上尋訪陰性本質的自性之旅。作者透過神話、童話、女神象徵與個案、自身經驗，闡述女英雄自性之旅的十階段。女英雄的旅程從背棄陰性價值出發，經歷挫折、覺醒，最終突破陰陽二元的限制，可說是始於追求陽性，卻完滿於與陰性和解。作者也強調，十階段並非直線進行，每個女人的旅程都是獨特的，沒有任何單一的女英雄成長模式可套在所有女人身上。——這提醒了我們，無論正處在哪一個階段，都應仔細聽從內在的聲音，覺察、歷險，並重生為一個獨一無二且完滿的自己。好評推薦這本書不僅感動女性讀者，也能帶領男性讀者探索自身心靈的陰性面向。——陳宏儒（諮商心理師）無論你是父親的女兒、母親的女兒、身為母親的自己、身為女兒的自己，或是某個被困住的女性，你很有可能會在書裡遇見妳自己。——黃梅芳（榮格分析師）或許更該把《千面英雄》裡的旅程稱之為「陽性之旅」，而茉琳・莫德克的稱為「陰性之旅」。——鄧九雲（演員、作家）這表示人類心靈早早意識到，發展過頭的陽性本質將遭遇各種困難，而解方則如喬瑟夫‧坎伯所說的那樣：她（陰性本質）就是每個人都企圖抵達的終點。——鐘穎（心理學作家）陳宏儒｜諮商心理師、臉書社團「榮格讀書會」創建者黃梅芳｜榮格分析師鄧九雲｜演員、作家蔡怡佳｜輔仁大學宗教學系教授鐘　穎｜心理學作家、愛智者書窩主持人———感性推薦（按姓氏筆劃排列） 本書特色◤跳脫原有的男性框架，走出女性才能走出的一條路！這是一本受喬瑟夫‧坎伯（Joseph Campbell）《千面英雄》（The Hero with a Thousand Faces）所啟發的著作，但跳

Lemony Snicket meets Roald Dahl in this "wickedly funny" (Kirkus Reviews), deliciously macabre, and highly illustrated sequel to The Beast and the Bethany in which Bethany and Ebenezer try to turn over a new leaf, only to have someone--or something--thwart them at every turn. Once upon a very badly behaved time, 511-year-old Ebenezer kept a beast in his attic. He would feed the beast all manner of objects and creatures and in return the beast would vomit him up expensive presents. But then the Bethany arrived. Now notorious prankster Bethany, along with her new feathery friend Claudette, is determined that she and Ebenezer are going to de-beast their lives and Do Good. But Bethany finds that being a former prankster makes it hard to get taken on for voluntary work. And Ebenezer secretly misses the beast's vomity gifts. And neither of them is all that sure what "good people" do anyway. Then there's Claudette, who's not been feeling herself recently. Has she eaten something that has disa

A Contemporary History of the Chinese Zheng traces the twentieth- and twenty-first-century development of an important Chinese musical instrument in greater China.The zheng was transformed over the course of the twentieth century, becoming a solo instrument with virtuosic capacity. In the past, the zheng had appeared in small instrumental ensembles and supplied improvised accompaniments to song. Zheng music became a means of nation-building and was eventually promoted as a marker of Chinese identity in Hong Kong. Ann L. Silverberg uses evidence from the greater China area to show how the narrative history of the zheng created on the mainland did not represent zheng music as it had been in the past. Silverberg ultimately argues that the zheng’s older repertory was poorly represented by efforts to collect and promote zheng music in the twentieth century. This book contends that the restored “traditional Chinese music” created and promulgated from the 1920s forward—and solo zheng music in
