Download or read book Play Learning and Children s Development written by Mariane Hedegaard and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-04-22 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the dynamics in children's everyday lives as they move between school and the family, with particular consideration of how children's motives change in response to new challenges. Professors Mariane Hedegaard and Marilyn Fleer follow four children, two from Australia and two from Denmark, over a twelve-month period. Using these case studies, they show how children's everyday activities, play, and the demands of both family and educational contexts influence their learning and development. The authors contribute to a sociocultural theory formulation that includes the child's perspective in cultural historical contexts. Their approach yields insights that transcend specific nationalities, cultures, and socioeconomic situations. The analysis shows not just how children's family life shapes their experiences in school, but how schools influence and shape their lives at home.
Download or read book Eleven written by Patricia Highsmith and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2011-07-12 with total page 206 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Short stories of suspense by the author of Strangers on a Train and The Talented Mr. Ripley—“a brilliant collection” with a foreword by Graham Greene (The Sunday Times). Master of tension Patricia Highsmith is best known for her novels of ever-increasing suspense, but she is equally adept at the short story, where “she is after the quick kill rather than the slow encirclement of the reader.” Eleven is Highsmith’s first collection of short stories—dark masterpieces of obsession and foreboding, violence and instability (Graham Greene, from the foreword). In these pages, naturalists meet gruesome ends and unhinged heroes disturb our sympathies; simple cases of murder turn out to be something even more sinister, and the cruelties of childhood come to unsettling life. This is a captivating, important collection from “one of the truly brilliant short-story writers of the twentieth century” (Otto Penzler).

Download or read book Depravity Online written by Steve R.R. Carpenter and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2018-03-15 with total page 168 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Playing computer games is a way of life for Steve R. R. Carpenter, a thirty-six-year-old virgin who still lives in the basement of his parents’ house. But he’s had it with all the lame multiplayer online role-playing fantasy games pumped out by gaming companies, so he decides to create one of his own. Needless to say, it’s an instant success and a moneymaker to fund his real dream: To use one billion dollars to create another game that would redefine the genre and put all its competitors out of their misery. It’s also a way to have revenge on the greedy corporate assholes who are responsible for the state the fantasy MMORPG industry is in today, which is a welcome side-effect for our protagonist. If you never played (and stopped playing) a fantasy MMORPG before, then this book is most likely not for you. If you did, you might enjoy this fun and crazy revenge story, although if you were really pressed for time, an easy fix would be to just read a random forum rant instead … If on the other hand you couldn’t care less about this whole MMORPG shebang, but have a friend or a relative who hasn’t read a book in as long as you can remember because he is playing MMORPGs all the time, well then this book is your best chance to make him read something again, because if he won’t read this, then there is no chance he would read anything else (strategy compendiums for online games are a thing of the past now, right?).

Download or read book Listening to Children written by Bronwyn Davies and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-05 with total page 121 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Through a series of exquisite encounters with children, and through a lucid opening up of new aspects of poststructuralist theorizing, Bronwyn Davies opens up new ways of thinking about, and intra-acting with, children. This book carefully guides the reader through a wave of thought that turns the known into the unknown, and then slowly, carefully, makes new forms of thought comprehensible, opening, through all the senses, a deep understanding of our embeddedness in encounters with each other and with the material world. This book takes us into Reggio-Emilia-inspired Swedish preschools in Sweden, into the author’s own community in Australia, into poignant memories of childhood, and offers the reader insights into: new ways of thinking about children and their communities; the act of listening as emergent and alive; ourselves as mobile and multiple subjects; the importance of remaining open to the not-yet-known. Defining research as diffractive, and as experimental, Davies’ relationship to the teachers and pedagogues she worked with is one of co-experimentation. Her relationship with the children is one in which she explores the ways in which her own new thinking and being might emerge, even as old ways of thinking and being assert themselves and interfere with the unfolding of the new. She draws us into her ongoing experimentation, asking that we think hard, all the while delighting our senses with the poetry of her writing, and the stories of her encounters with children.
