(Re)conceptualising Children’s Rights in Infant-Toddler Care and Education
This book brings together researchers from a variety of national contexts to examine and explore the conceptualisation, reconceptualisation and translation of children’s rights for infants and toddlers in early childhood education and care settings.It brings together authors from various national contexts to examine changing understandings and manifestations of infant and toddler rights in Early Childhood Education and Care. The book aims to engender trans-national dialogue through the contributions. Through such dialogue, both authors and readers are challenged to recognise the specificity of their own cultural contexts and thereby envision a more expansive view of infant and toddler rights. By drawing together reflections on infant-toddler rights from key early childhood researchers across the world, this book will extend readers understandings of rights – not only in terms of how rights are (re)conceptualised but also how to meaningfully translate the rights afforded in policy to practice.
Melvill
Un père agonisant en proie à la fièvre et au délire raconte sa jeunesse, son Grand Tour, les palais vénitiens peuplés de figures fascinantes et maléfiques, sa ruine et son plus beau voyage, la traversée à pied du fleuve Hudson gelé ; un fils encore enfant, assis au pied du lit, recueille, attentif, ces derniers mots hallucinés. L’œuvre d’Herman Melville, auteur magistral, incompris, bien trop en avance sur son temps et jugé fou et dangereux par certains critiques de l’époque, puiserait-elle sa source dans cet ultime legs paternel ? S’interrogeant sur les méandres de la fiction, qui oscille sans cesse entre réalité et imagination, Rodrigo Fresán aborde sous un jour n...
Dream, Danger, Destiny
This story is based on the author's life experiences and told in the third person. The author named her protagonist Hope, as she feels that name represents her journey to maturity and was the concept that saved her life. Hope invites us to participate in her early years, about her dreams of travel and adventure, but how the cultural environment forced her to forget those dreams and live an unfulfilling life. In her late teens, Hope listens to a radio show that reminds her of her childhood dreams, but she is still unsure of which path to follow. It would take another ten years for her to pluck up the courage and begin her journey towards a different life. Hope then takes the plunge and sets o...
Compromised
Everyone gets compromised. Even the good guys. Detective Denise Aragon can't trust her witness, the one who hasn't been killed yet. She can't trust Judge Judy Diaz and her sociopathic attorney girlfriend. She can't trust her FBI agent lover, but she's going to take a bullet for him anyway. While Aragon struggles, the secret patrón who rules Santa Fe's south side and his bloodthirsty twin brother are compromising everybody to cash out a fraudulent multimillion-dollar verdict. Blackmail or assassination, it makes no difference. They want their money fast. Continuing the story that began with The Drum Within—heralded as "a masterpiece" by #1 New York Times bestselling author Robert Dugoni—Compromised is a tour de force of suspenseful storytelling. Praise: "Mayhem and more."—Kirkus Reviews "[Scarantino] is skilled with complex plotting and has a talent for expository dialogue . . . Though she is fictional, Aragon, who sports a crewcut and a baby face, is an intelligent, hard-boiled heroine of whom Santa Fe can be proud."—Santa Fe New Mexican "A perfect read. Blackmail, assassination—you name it, it happens."—Suspense Magazine
