Product Description
Review
'Fills a long-standing need for an intellectually strong survey of thought about language that bridges the divide between language, philosophy and linguistics...should be required reading in virtually any academic course, graduate or undergraduate, that deals to any extent with language.' - Paul Hopper, Carnegie Mellon University, USA.
--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Product Description
Play is a crucial component in the development of all children. In this comprehensive and accessible text, Bob Hughes explores the complexities of children's play, its meaning and purpose, and argues that adult-free play is essential for the psychological well-being of the child.
The book divides into three main sections. The first examines the fundamentals of evolutionary playwork, from creating the right play environment to issues of safety and participation. Secondly, the book explores the theory underlying playwork. Finally, the book offers new models to help the playworker develop their own professional practice. Throughout the text, the author brings his argument to life with vivid reflections on a lifetime's experience of play and playwork.
Evolutionary Playwork and Reflective Analytic Practice is the first book of its kind, and represents essential reading for all playwork students, practitioners and researchers. It also incorporates dedicated material for parents looking to better understand and enhance the development of their children.
