Although urban allotment gardening dates back to the nineteenth
century, it has recently undergone a renaissance of interest and
popularity. This is the result of greater concern over urban
greenspace, food security and quality of life. This book presents a
comprehensive, research-based overview of the various features,
benefits and values associated with urban allotment gardening in
Europe. The book is based on a European COST Action project, which
brings together researchers and practitioners from all over Europe
for the first detailed exploration of the subject on a
continent-wide scale. It assesses the policy, planning and design
aspects, as well as the social and ecological benefits of urban
allotment gardening. Through an examination of the wide range of
different traditions and practices across Europe, it brings
together the most recent research to discuss the latest evolutions
of urban allotment gardening and to help raise awareness and fill
knowledge gaps. The book provides a multidisciplinary perspective,
including insights from horticulture and soil science, ecology,
sociology, urban geography, landscape, planning and design. The
themes are underpinned by case studies from a number of European
countries which supply a wide range of examples to illustrate
different key issues.

"The way I got the news of his arrest was terrible. . . . Part of my soul went with him at that time."
Winnie Mandela was one of South Africa's most visible apartheid foes. She was a "banned" person in her country, living under virtual house arrest and forbidden to address public gatherings or meet with more than one person at a time. For twenty-three years she endured a forced separation from her husband, Nelson Mandela. Here, in interviews and letters, she tells the story of her life and political development.

Nelson Mandela became a legend in his own lifetime. The son of a
chief, he qualified as a lawyer, then was one of the leaders of the
African National Congress whose long, heroic struggle against the
infamous system of Apartheid is vividly described in this
biography. Accused of treason by the South African government,
Mandela was incarcerated for twenty-seven years, years in which he
was honored as the world s most famous political prisoner. Mary
Benson follows his political and philosophical development as well
as his personal life. The fascinating story of Mandela s delicate
negotiations with the government, leading to the release of fellow
prisoners and to his own dramatic emergence from prison in 1990, is
captured along with South Africa s progress towards democratic
elections. In that election Mandela and millions of his black
fellow citizens voted for the first time in their lives. The final
chapter, which concludes with Mandela s inauguration as president,
conveys the significance and profound joy of this historic event."
With its real-life stories and invitations for reflection and
conversation, this book is an ideal professional development
resource for pre- and in-service birth–age 3 professionals. The
author shares lived experiences of being in four distinctly
different baby rooms as a researcher over extended periods of time.
She frames each life story around elements of well-being and asks
readers to consider whether and how environmental and relational
factors supported or hindered the physical, psychological, and
emotional well-being of the children and adults. The author
encourages readers to see themselves in the stories, to consider
how they may have acted in the circumstances described, and to
deliberate on their own practices and beliefs. With empathy and
respect, McMullen fully conveys an intent to elevate, celebrate,
and honor those who spend their days in infant toddler care and
education, while examining the critical role all adults in society
play in the lives of our youngest citizens.Book Features: Invites
personal reflection and discussion with colleagues in the form of
prompts and questions after each story. Provides a friendly but
scholarly look at the spaces, conditions, and quality of
birth-to-age three settings, the area of fastest growing need in
early childhood care and education (ECCE). Focuses on the
well-being of the adults and children featured in the book,
providing a holistic perspective on their needs, motivations, and
experiences. Emphasizes a here-and-now perspective in contrast to
books that tend to focus primarily on preparing children for future
outcomes and accomplishments.
