Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The introduction of the Foundation Stage for children age three to becoming six has had a profound impact on policy and practice in early education in the UK. The choice of the word 'foundation' to describe this first stage of learning has emphasised the importance of children's earliest experiences in underpinning all their subsequent attitudes and achievements. In this innovative and challenging book, Julie Fisher has brought together some of the country's leading early years specialists to explore how educators can establish firm foundations for young children's learning. The themes in the book are stimulated by the metaphor of 'foundations', with an introduction by an architect who explains the principles of establishing firm foundations for buildings. Each of these established engineering principles is then creatively explored from an educational perspective as the authors seek to question how the foundations laid for buildings can offer fresh insights into the principles for creating firm foundations for learning.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. How can early years practitioners build on children's competence and autonomy as effective early learners? How do adults get to know children sufficiently well to plan effectively for their learning needs? How can early years practitioners plan for high quality child-initiated experiences alongside more focused adult-initiated learning?Early years practitioners continue to face the dilemma of planning for the needs of individual children whilst meeting the demands of targets and goals set by government. In such a pressurized climate, it can be all too easy to go with what is imposed, rather than stand up for what young children need and are entitled to. In a practical and realistic way, the third edition of Starting from the Child supports practitioners in the Foundation Stage to be advocates for young children and their learning needs. Julie Fisher outlines the important theories and research which should underpin decisions about best practice.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The concept of ideology is notoriously elusive, and yet - at the same time - it is fundamental to the whole of social science. For to study ideology is to ask such questions as: where do our ideas about society and politics come from? Are such ideas socially determined? If so, what validity can they claim? In this brief yet comprehensive introduction, Professor McLellan looks at the origins of the concept of ideology, analyses its use in the Marxist and non-Marxist traditions, and assesses the various uses to which it has been put in recent social and political theory, particularly the connection between ideology and the 'end of history' debate. This is a book for all those interested in a clear presentation of the most basic concept in the philosophy of the social sciences. This second edition has been revised and updated and a new chapter on Ideology and the 'End of History' has been added. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. From the horrific images of James Bulger's abduction at the Strand Shopping Centre in Bootle, through to the frighteningly mundane pictures of the July 7th bombers at Luton Station, surveillance is a key part of our everyday lives. In this topical reader Sean Hier and Josh Greenberg bring together extracts from some of the most influential readings on surveillance studies. The reader examines thoughts about self-surveillance, scrutiny of specific parts of society, sophisticated data gathering techniques and the ubiquity of CCTV. While surveillance is an intrinsic feature of human social relationships, it is only in the past few years that information and data-gathering techniques have emerged as a sustained multi-disciplinary topic of investigation and theorization. Surveillance studies, now a rapidly growing area of academic study, has begun documenting the changing character and consequences of surveillance techniques throughout the world. The readings presented in this book represent one more step towards developing a coherent statement on surveillance studies.The readings are organised into distinct sections: Surveillance, the nation-state and social controlComputers, simulations and assemblagesSurveillance in everyday lifeSurveillance, politics and social inequalitySurveillance and public opinionEthics, privacy and resistance The Surveillance Studies Reader is key reading for students of sociology, politics, social policy, media and communications studies, social psychology and criminology.Essays by: Charles Barker, Colin Bennett, William Bogard, Roy Coleman, Christopher Dandeker, Richard Eriscson, Michel Foucault, Oscar H.

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In the late-1990s context of change and development in the early years field, this text argues that the availability of appropriate training for all working with young children is of paramount importance. Research shows that one of the most important factors determining the quality or early childhood care and education is the quality of the adults who work with them. The book builds on recommendations made by the Rumbold Commitee, the RSA Start Right Report and the National Commission for Education in highlighting issues, development and opportunities. More importantly it signals ways in which government policy must change in order to meet the requirements which the authors recommend. The book should be of interest to trainers, students and practitioners concerned to explore ways in which the need for appropriate initial and continuing professional development can be met.
