Place, Pedagogy and Play connects landscape architecture with education, psychology, public health and planning. Over the course of thirteen chapters it examines how design and research of places can be approached through multiple lenses - of pedagogy and play and how children, as competent social agents, are engaged in the process of designing their own spaces - and brings a global perspective to the debate around child-friendly environments. Despite growing evidence of the benefits of nature for health, wellbeing, play and learning, children are increasingly spending more time indoors. Indeed, new policy ideas and public campaigns suggest how children can become better connected with nature, yet linking outdoor space to pedagogy is largely overlooked in research. By focusing on three themes within these debates, place and play; place and pedagogy; and place and participation, this book explores a variety of angles to show that best practice requires dialogue between research disciplines, designers, educationists and psychologists, and a move beyond seeing the spaces children inhabit as the domain only of childhood professionals. Through illustrated case studies this book presents a wider picture of the state of childhood today, and offers practical solutions and further research avenues that promote a more holistic and internationally focused perspective on place, pedagogy and play for built-environment professionals.

George is addicted to consumerism through social media. One day she discovers the concept "ethical buying" and has an epiphany about global justice. She goes to see the prime minister of the world. This book belongs to a series called "Little Epiphanies" by Rosemary Pattison.

Two people who live in an old farmhouse in Snozfield, Australia, are very confused. Papa Smith keeps losing things and Mama Smith can't find them either... but she does a lot of sneezing while she is looking for them. A cheeky visitor is the culprit who is discovered in the end. This is a funny rhyming story for pre-schoolers full of loud sneezes and captivating illustrations. The story is based on a true one although it is highly exaggerated. No characters depicted in this book resemble real people... well let's hope not.

"George and the problem of food" is Rosemary's second children's book in a series called the Little Epiphanies Series. In each book she attempts to alert young readers to a current issue so that they may have an epiphany about the way in which they live. As a result of their epiphany they might find an opportunity to reflect and improve the way they live on our wonderful planet. About the book: George is alerted to the fact that people all over the world have different relationships with food. Some use it to stay alive and can't find enough. Some have too much and waste it. She calls for help from her friends using Facebook to make some changes.
