Editorial Review:

Developed as a companion volume to "The Play's the Thing", this book defines and analyses the concept of master player based on videotaped observations of pre-school children at play. By interweaving sequences of play together with their dialogue about them, the authors model how teachers can work as a team to develop their understanding of a particular child and of the value of children's quality play, and how they can support it. The in-depth discussion between the authors reveals the multi-facted nature of play, individual differences in both teachers' and children's styles, and the complexity of intervention decisions made by teachers.

Editorial Review:

Drawing on the results of field studies, Childhood's Domain looks at the ways in which children use the urban environment for play and learning. It is a look at the world through children's eyes: how they perceive their surroundings, how they claim territory as their own, and how the physical environment contributes to their development and learning. The book concludes with policy recommendations for urban planners, designers, and decision-makers.

Editorial Review:

In this lively and enlightening book, Paul Brenner suggests that treating life's events and everyday activities as a game would lead to a more socially functional and effective society. Through compelling suggestions and dynamic anecdotes, he conceptualizes all our economic, political, social, and spiritual pursuits in terms of role- play, and demonstrates the contribution this perspective can make to the happiness of individuals and to the systemic welfare of an increasingly complex social order.
