Young Children Playing and Learning in a Digital Age explores the
emergence of the digital age and young children's experiences with
digital technologies at home and in educational environments.
Drawing on theory and research-based evidence, this book makes an
important contribution to understanding the contemporary
experiences of young children in the digital age. It argues that a
cultural and critically informed perspective allows educators,
policy-makers and parents to make sense of children's digital
experiences as they play and learn, enabling informed
decision-making about future early years curriculum and practices
at home and in early learning and care settings. An essential read
for researchers, students, policy-makers and professionals working
with children today, this book draws attention to the evolution of
digital developments and the relationship between contemporary
technologies, play and learning in the early years.
In this fourth book in the Busy Little Hands series, preschoolers
get ready for a science adventure! Preschoolers wonder and explore
with 20 hands-on experiments using everyday household objects and
making daily activities such as snack time and play time into
learning opportunities. Each play activity demonstrates a simple
principle of physics, earth science, chemistry, or biology,
including the Kitchen Sink or Float (demonstrating density), the
Vinegar Volcano (pressure) and Blooming Colors (chromatography).
Featuring bright, easy-to-follow photos specially designed for
pre-readers, this book is packed with learning fun, plus it sets
the groundwork for science success in preschool and beyond.
In an era in which environmental education has been described as
one of the most pressing educational concerns of our time, further
insights are needed to understand how best to approach the learning
and teaching of environmental education in early childhood
education. In this book we address this concern by identifying two
principles for using play-based learning early childhood
environmental education. The principles we identify are the result
of research conducted with teachers and children using different
types of play-based learning whilst engaged in environmental
education. Such play-types connect with the historical use of
play-based learning in early childhood education as a basis for
pedagogy. In the book 'Beyond Quality in ECE and Care' authors
Dahlberg, Moss and Pence implore readers to ask critical questions
about commonly held images of how young children come to construct
themselves within social institutions. In similar fashion, this
little book problematizes the taken-for-grantedness of the
childhood development project in service to the certain cultural
narratives. Cutter-Mackenzie, Edwards, Moore and Boyd challenge
traditional conceptions of play-based learning through the medium
of environmental education. This book signals a turning point in
social thought grounded in a relational view of (environmental)
education as experiential, intergenerational, interspecies,
embodied learning in the third space. As Barad says, such work is
based in inter-actions that can account for the tangled spaces of
agencies. Through the deceptive simplicity of children's play, the
book stimulates deliberation of the real purposes of pedagogy and
of schooling. Paul Hart, University of Regina, Canada

The Walk is an illustrated book that helps children fall asleep and
have sweet dreams. Grant Maxwell developed the story night after
night as he put his son, Mason, to bed. Realizing he had created a
story that other people might enjoy, Grant enlisted his
mother-in-law, artist Susan Edwards, to paint the beautiful
illustrations. In the story, a little boy named Mason and his dogs,
Muffin and Lloyd, decide to go for a walk in the woods. They find a
cave that leads down to a great cavern with an underground lake. At
the edge of the lake, they find a rowboat and row out into the
center of the lake, where they find an island with a little tower.
They climb the stairs and, at the top, they find a little room...
Through an examination of surrealist photographs, objects,
exhibitions, activities, and writings, the essays in "Twilight
Visions", the beautifully illustrated companion volume to the
exhibition of the same name, portray the French capital as a city
in the process of metamorphosis-in a kind of twilight state. The
Bureau of Surrealist Research, the major Surrealist exhibitions,
and the photographs of Paris by Brassai, Andre Kertesz, Ilse Bing,
Germaine Krull, and Man Ray, among others, all reflect the
tumultuous social and cultural transformations occurring in Paris
in the 1920s and 30s. Juxtaposing the strange with the familiar,
they seek to break down repressive hierarchies. At the same time,
they represent a desire to change the world through experimental
activities. Introduced by Therese Lichtenstein, with essays by
Therese Lichtenstein, Julia Kelly, Colin Jones, and Whitney
Chadwick, this absorbing volume considers the social, aesthetic,
and political stances of the Surrealists as they probed hidden
aspects of the commonplace and blurred the boundaries between
dreams and reality, subjectivity and objectivity. This title is co
published by Frist Center for the Visual Arts.
The third edition of Early Childhood Curriculum provides a
comprehensive and accessible introduction to curriculum theories
and approaches in early childhood and early primary settings.
Drawing on a cultural-historical framework for education, the text
explores a variety of approaches to learning and teaching and
equips readers with the tools to effectively plan, design and
implement curriculum strategies. Thoroughly revised and updated,
this edition features up-to-date coverage of national curriculum
documents, including the Early Years Learning Framework and Te
Whariki, and expanded content on play-based curriculum, assessment
and documentation. Key domain areas of the curriculum are explored
in depth and have been revised to include updated discussions of
environmental factors, digital knowledge and multiliteracies. Each
chapter is enriched with learning intentions, definitions of key
terms, reflection points, links to current curriculum documents and
illustrative case studies to help readers connect theory to
practice.
Fluent aphasia is a language disorder that follows brain damage,
causing difficulty in finding the correct words and structuring
sentences. Speakers also experience problems in understanding
language, severely impairing their ability to communicate. In this
informative study Susan Edwards provides a detailed description of
fluent aphasia, by drawing widely on research data, and by
comparing fluent aphasia with other types of aphasia as well as
with normal language. She discusses evidence that the condition
affects access to underlying grammatical rules as well as to the
lexicon, and explores the relationship between language and the
brain, the controversy over aphasia syndromes, the assessment of
aphasia via standardized tests, and the analysis of continuous
speech data. Extensive examples of aphasic speech are given, and
the progress of one fluent aphasic speaker is discussed in detail.
Written by an internationally renowned expert, this book will be
invaluable to linguists and practitioners alike.

Though the book ranks as an admirable exercise in rigorous
scholarship, the prevailing tone is that of an informal
conversation. That's what keeps you turning the pages. Serious
record collectors will find that this book . . . will make them
see--and hear--their disks in a wholly new perspective. The New
York Times The first book of its kind ever published, Edison,
Musicians, and the Phonograph presents the candid opinions of a
wide variety of musicians--from those performing when the
phonograph was first used to present-day artists--about the
recording process, its effects, and its validity. Through
exhaustive research and extensive interviews, John and Susan
Harvith have constructed a detailed picture of how musicians and
technicians view the ramifications of recording, a picture that
reveals a dichotomy between our public perception of the recorded
music as truly representative and the performers' frequent mistrust
of the medium.
