Relationships with Families in Early Childhood Education and Care radically challenges the role assigned to parents in neoliberal discussions of early childhood education and care, and presents new ways of thinking about relationships with families. With contributions from international early childhood scholars and practitioners, this book includes outlooks of practitioners, families and children, particularly about the meanings they assign to relationships. Bringing together key understandings about how parent-partnerships can be understood, this book provides innovative examples of how to enact democratic partnerships with parents in diverse contexts.

Questo testo si propone di accompagnare il lettore alla conoscenza del metodo educativo proposto e sperimentato da Maria Montessori, con l’intento di risvegliare nel lettore sincero rispetto per l’infanzia e viva fascinazione per la libertà nei contesti educativi. La prima parte è dedicata all’approfondimento del pensiero di Montessori e alla presentazione del suo metodo educativo, dove l’organizzazione dell’ambiente assume un ruolo centrale, così come i materiali a disposizione del bambino e le modalità con cui il docente interagisce in classe. La seconda parte è dedicata alla presentazione di un percorso di ricerca pluriennale, rivolto ad alcune classi di scuola primaria che hanno avviato, all’interno della scuola pubblica trentina, la sperimentazione del metodo Montessori. L’intento della raccolta dati presentata è stato quello di promuovere percorsi di autovalutazione e riflessione in docenti e ricercatori montessoriani.
Hugh Johnson has won a legion of fans with his keen ability to make the sometimes complex topic of wine wonderfully lucid—and every year, his popular pocket guide is a bestseller. That makes it number one in the market. Here, in it’s 30th anniversary year, he has completely revised and updated this classic, offering more current news than ever on over 6,000 wines, growers, and regions, along with up-to-the-minute vintage information, recommended wines (including budget options), and star ratings. With this book in hand, wine lovers won’t need anything else to help them select anything from a bottle for an everyday dinner to a prestige vintage for investment. A new section showcases Johnson’s special, personal choices, and there are plenty of quick-reference maps, charts, and fact boxes for a little extra guidance.

On the one hand, nobody wants to be a dick. On the other hand, dicks are everywhere! They cut in line, talk behind our backs, recline into our seats, and even have the power to morph into trolls online. Their powers are impressive, but with a little foresight and thoughtfulness, we can take a stand against dickishness today. How Not to Be a Dick is packed with honest and straightforward advice, but it also includes playful illustrations showing two well-meaning (but not always well behaved) young people as they confront moments of potential dickishness in their everyday lives. Sometimes they falter, sometimes they triumph, but they always seek to find a better way. And with their help, you can too. Just see the agreement at the beginning of the book: I pledge to use the tools and techniques provided in this book to help make the world a less dickish place.
