Loose Parts - Inspiring Play in Young Children

Lisa Daly, Miriam Beloglovsky

Synopsis

In the early childhood field, “loose parts” refers to natural or synthetic found, bought, or upcycled materials—acorns, hardware, egg cartons, fabric scraps, stones, aluminum foil, etc.—that children can move, manipulate, control, and change within their play. Early childhood professionals—especially those who advocate for play or are Reggio-inspired—use loose parts to create open-ended, child-centered environments and experiences to empower children’s creativity, enhance play, and encourage problem solving. With more than 550 color photographs, this book is more inspirational than instructional. Part one, the most text-heavy portion of the book, defines the concept of loose parts and their value in early childhood settings. The remaining sections use photographs and captions to depict the endless assortment of loose parts and the multitude of ways they can be incorporated into indoor and outdoor learning environments.

Tracing Your Scottish Ancestry...

Chris Patton

“The ideal instructional guide and reference for anyone doing genealogical research” by the author of Tracing Your Scottish Family History on the Internet (Midwest Book Review).   Despite its Union with England and Wales in 1707, Scotland remained virtually independent from its partners in many ways, retaining its own legal system, its own state church, and its own education system.   In Tracing Scottish Ancestry Through Church and State Records, genealogist Chris Paton examines the most common records used by family historians in Scotland, ranging from the vital records kept by the state and the various churches, the decennial censuses, tax records, registers of land ownership and inheritance, and records of law and order.   Through precepts of clare constat and ultimus haeres records, feudalism and udal tenure, to irregular marriages, penny weddings and records of sequestration, Chris Paton expertly explores the unique concepts and language within many Scottish records that are simply not found elsewhere within the British Isles. He details their purpose and the information recorded, the legal basis by which they were created, and where to find them both online and within Scotland’s many archives and institutions.   “A useful and very readable introduction to Scottish records, with many case studies to assist the reader, but there is also much in it that may be new to more experienced family historians.” —The Local Historian, journal of the British Association for Local History   “Leads the reader through the Scottish record jungle.” —Canada’s Anglo-Celtic Connections
