"The Early Advantage 2--Building Systems That Work for Young Children: International Insights from Innovative Early Childhood Systems is a timely and modern resource for policy makers and practitioners that conceptualizes ECEC as a manifestation of country values and social science, while seeking to understand it broadly, scientifically, and systemically"--
On an estate in the Altmark region, the young farmmaster Friedrich Landsberg, the child of Lithuanian emigrants, founds a family. Their son Otto grows up sheltered. In Havelberg, Paul Siebert, who comes from a poor background, finds happiness with the teacher's daughter Margarethe, who gives him a daughter, Alwine. The cloth merchant couple Gottfried and Mathilde Ohme successfully build up a business and have two children, Antonia and Arthur. The happiness of the three young families does not last long, however, as the First World War tears the families apart. With the end of the monarchy, everyone hopes for a better future, but the Weimar Republic is on shaky ground. When the Nazis come to power, the fate of the three families takes another dramatic turn.

Scientific Influences on Early Childhood Education offers a new framework for examining the diverse scientific perspectives that shape early childhood education. As the field takes on an increasing role in addressing children’s educational, developmental, and environmental needs, it is critical to more fully understand and appreciate the diverse scientific roots of contemporary early childhood education. This edited collection brings together leading researchers to explain and unpack perspectives that are not often associated with early childhood education, yet have made significant contributions to its development and evolution. Essential reading for anyone working with young children, this critical and insightful text illuminates the connections between our social values, science, and research in the field.
The Future of Religious Heritage examines the resurgence of religious heritage in a secular age and frames such heritage as both legacy from the past and promise for the future. Drawing on case studies from across Europe, this volume addresses the intersection of three well-defined areas of research: secularism, religious heritage and the question of renewal. Considering the heritagisation of religion and the sacralisation of heritage, contributions to the book consider to what extent the idea of renewal, so pivotal to religious and secular ontologies, is present in heritage formations. Thinking about the temporalities of re-enactment and reconstruction, this volume examines whether heritage...
