On a foggy night in Amsterdam, a man falls from a rooftop to the wet pavement below. It's Archibald McQuinn, the notorious cat burgler, and he's dying.

The witch tapped the broomstick and whoosh! they were gone. Over the moors and the mountains they flew. The frog jumped for joy and... THE BROOM SNAPPED IN TWO! Down fell the cat and the dog and the frog. Down they went tumbling into a bog. The witch's half-broomstick flew into a cloud, And the witch heard a roar that was scary and loud...

Les biens communs sont des objets qui appartiennent à tous (ou au grand nombre), et que des mouvements cherchent à valoriser et protéger, comme l'eau, la biodiversité, le patrimoine historique, etc. Parmi ces "objets", les biens communs informationnels, ou "savoirs communs" constituent une catégorie spécifique, immatérielle, qui est fortement liée au développement du numérique.

Contributor(s): Polly Courtney, Isabelle de Cat, Jonathan Gibbs | Fiction publishing has long held that an eye catching cover is key to successful sales. But academic publishing struggles to reflect complex contents through one stand-out image on a book cover. The growth of e-books and online publishing in many ways makes the cover design of a book more important, and sharing a cover on social media may give it more prominence than it has ever had. So this panel asks how crucial is how a book cover

One night on the farm, the cows overhear a fantastic tale. “Hey Diddle Diddle, the cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon!" Inspired by this classic rhyme, a plucky cow named Cindy Moo sets out to prove that cows really can leap over the moon. The other cows laugh at her, but that doesn’t stop Cindy from trying—and failing—night after night, until a trick of nature shows Cindy a way to triumph. As delightfully silly as the original nursery rhyme, this hilarious picture book will have

What do psychologists really think about your dreams - do they have meaning?  In this episode I talk about what psychologists think today about dreams.  You probably know that Freud thought that dreams had a manifest content (the people and things that happened in the dream that you remember) and a latent content (the unconscious meaning of the dream).  Do we still think this?  Also: can you look up in a book or online to find out what your dreams meant?  If you dream about a cat for example - what

Set in Buenos Aires at the time of Argentina’s financial crash, and seen through the eyes of twenty-year-old Gringo, it tells the story of two boys on the cusp of adulthood who have no choice but to join the gang warfare that rules their community. While its depiction of Buenos Aires rings

Piaget's concept of object permanence is essential to understand.  But how did they study this idea among 1 year olds?  Obviously children can't tell you that they believe that something no longer exists when they can't see it, so how do we know what is going on inside a child's mind?  How about this challenge: do animals also understand object permanence?  If you've ever seen your cat or dog look under or around objects for a lost toy then yes - you've seen that they do understand object
