This book offers guidance on how to provide high quality provision for two year olds. With a mix of key theories, reflective questions and practice case studies the book will help the practitioner / student to reflect on the links between the development and learning needs of two year olds and how practitioners provide for them. Following the journey two year olds take through all aspects of their experience, the book starts with being at home, through transition into a setting and then considers each aspect of provision. With the case study observations of practice, practitioners and students can accompany the child on their journey in order to better understand the child’s viewpoint and to explore and analyse concepts of good quality practice and provision in order to achieve sustained improvements in provision for this age group.
Children's experiences and well-being in their earliest years underpin and highly influence their future development and learning. Drawing on research with parents, children and a range of professionals in the early childhood field, this book considers how well-being is interpreted in the early childhood field. It includes snapshots of what our youngest children think about their well-being, and examines external environmental contexts that impact on well-being. The book raises a number of important issues and clarifies priorities that need to be kept at the forefront of practice and provision, such as the fundamental importance of prioritizing children and families' socio-cultural contexts,...
Hard to Kill is a Western set in the Wind River Country of Wyoming during the dacade before statehood. It is based upon a brief period in the life of John Wesley Hardin, one of the West's most famous gunslingers. Suffering from amnesia, Hardin wakes up in an alley with a hole in his head and, just in time, is rescued from certain death by a girl who is herself being chased by a mob on horseback. In time, going by the name of Slim, he learns (but keeps to himself) that he is very much at home with handguns; and since a bloody range war is in progress and his pretty rescuer is in serious trouble, he resolves to do what he can to stop Bowker, the man who is responsible for starting the war. Slim falls in love with the girl and asks her to marry him--as soon as he finds out who he is. This occurs at the end of the story when the infamous Bill Longley, another professional gunslinger brought in by Bowker, refuses to draw against Slim. In front of hundreds of spectators, Longley reveals that the man before him is none other than John Wesley Hardin.

By any standard, the pharmaceutical industry's history has been a successful one. In addition to its profits and shareholder dividends, it has been seen by investors as relatively low risk and, largely, counter-cyclical to stock market trends. However, that important contribution appears to be petering out, with significant global implications for employees, shareholders, governments and patients. This is not just caused by the economic crisis. Long before this, several distinct but related streams of evidence emerged that now point to the stalling of the pharmaceutical industry. The Future of Pharma examines the causes of the industry's potential decline and offers a convincing and rigorous...
