The work's breadth and thoroughness make it the definitive reference, while the quality of the prose enables the book's use as a textbook. Smith's treatment of methodology and theoretical history is especially thorough and insightful. Smith's unique contribution to play scholarship has been his identification of the play ethos. This social movement has had a distorting effect on research by inflating evidence for the value of play for children and of the necessity for parent-child play. In this volume, Smith almost surgically removes the play ethos cataract that obscures play scholarship. In doing so he reminds us that there are still many important questions regarding juvenile play which await serious research." -Professor David F. Lancy, Anthropology, Utah State University, USA "Peter Smith's book, Children and Play, is what one would expect from one of the leading figures in the field of play. Drawing on his extensive knowledge of evolutionary theory and the human developmental and comparative play literatures, Smith presents a comprehensive picture of the complexities of the place of play in human development as well as measured analyses of its place in schools. This book is a crowning achievement to his close to 40 years of careful study of the field. I learned a great deal from it." -Professor Anthony D. Pellegrini, Educational Psychology, University of Minnesota, USA "This book is an excellent synthesis of what is currently known about the play of children. Peter Smith, one of the leading play researchers of our time, sheds new light on some long-debated issues such as the definition of play, play's role in development and evolution, and the relationship between play and culture. In addition, individual chaptersprovide rich detail about particular types of play, including the much neglected category of physical play. The volume concludes with a very interesting discussion of practical issues, including parental involvement in play, play's role in education, the importance of school recess, and war play. I was very impressed with Professor Smith's balanced, objective discussion of play research.  He effectively argues for a "middle way" of viewing play, a view that neither idealizes nor denigrates its importance in the lives of children." -Professor James Christie, Curriculum and Instruction, Arizona State University, USA.Understanding Children's Worlds Ser.Play -- Psychological aspectsPlay behavior in animalsChild psychologyChild developmentPsychology, ComparativeElectronic books.Play -- Psychological aspects.Play behavior in animals.Child psychology.Child development.Psychology, Comparative.155.418Smith Peter K155758MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQ9910795814703321Children and Play3793779UNINA05552nam 2200697Ia 450 991095545460332120200520144314.01-282-45029-897866124502970-8261-2152-7(CKB)2550000000005587(EBL)475130(OCoLC)558827796(SSID)ssj0000341980(PQKBManifestationID)12084398(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000341980(PQKBWorkID)10270556(PQKB)11783091(Au-PeEL)EBL475130(CaPaEBR)ebr10356717(CaONFJC)MIL245029(MiAaPQ)EBC475130(EXLCZ)99255000000000558720090805d2010 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrPublic health and aging maximizing function and well-being /Steven M.

In this book, however, the authors argue that simple health promotion and disease prevention are not enough to address the many challenges of aging-whether it entails being physically frail, living with dementia, or approaching death. Instead, the unique focus of this groundbreaking text centers on maximizing function and well-being for the elderly.

Whilst inkjet technology is well-established on home and small office desktops and is now having increasing impact in commercial printing, it can also be used to deposit materials other than ink as individual droplets at a microscopic scale. This allows metals, ceramics, polymers and biological materials (including living cells) to be patterned on to substrates under precise digital control. This approach offers huge potential advantages for manufacturing, since inkjet methods can be used to generate structures and functions which cannot be attained in other ways.
