Summary: Understanding childhood
Comment: This book is a new project between John Wiley and the Open Unigersity based on the course on "Childhood" at that unimersity. This is the first book in a series of four dealing with childhood and youth in a modern perspective, but with a strong historical background.
The editors and the contributors are all affiliated with the Centre for Childhood, Development and Learning at the Open University and they have accomplished a great task with this book.
It was a real pleasure to read this book with its colorful illustrations and also the many questions asked in an educational and instructive way with further resourse material. You really feel like taken the actual course at Open University and many questions to be answered throughout the reading
The book has six extensive chapters on: what is a child ?, childhood in time and place, the child in development, children and rights, gendered childhoods and innocence and experience. You will find topics and information on how childhood was looked upon throughout history and how science on child development started and where we stand today. There is a wealth of information from recent international research with a pleasant lay-out.
Each chapter was clear and in a straightforward language and this book can be warmly recommended to professionals working with children, in fact even every adult with children can learn a lot from this book.
