The principal is Shinichi Fukuoka, a biologist. The lecture will focus on the assigned books selected in advance by Principal Fukuoka, and we will reexamine the timeline that has been traced through our reading history so far. In "Dynamic Equilibrium Live," based on two axes, map lovers who see the world through maps and map haters who can see the world without maps, Principal Fukuoka uses books as a gateway to reinterpret life as a "story" rather than "science," and the content will deepen your understanding as if you were reading a novel, even if you do not have specialized knowledge of science. #Shinichi Fukuoka #Dynamic Equilibrium #Eric Carle #Leo Lionni #Langerhans #Reading #Langerhans #LeoLionni #EricCarle #bookreview
