Pocket Strategy: The Essentials of Business Strategy from A to Z

Book Description

Upon completion of study with Beginnings & Beyond, students will have an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of early childhood education?from its history to present issues and future trends. They will appreciate the emphasis on multiculturalism and NAEYC?s developmentally appropriate practice. This approach promotes a ?both/and? viewpoint, maintaining that there is more than one correct way to care for and educate young children. The text focuses on this viewpoint in discussions of early literacy, spiritual development, discipline, diversity and anti-bias strategies and family relationships. Beginnings & Beyond also stresses the importance of maintaining an awareness of each child?s needs and interests by featuring such concepts as multiple intelligence, ecological theory and NAEYC?s Code of Ethical Conduct. The use of a variety of sidebars, chapter activities, integrated technology and other extras enhance the student?s interest in and retention of the material.

Don't be an American ........2007-03-04

I have used this book for two different child development classes now. If I read abut being culturally sensitive (which to the authors apparently means forget you are an anglo saxon christian american) I will truly be ill. I'm all for accepting everyone for what they are, and abhor racism, but come on, are we supposed to forget that we may be Christian white americans???? The book seems to want us to forget holidays, in case you may offend one person somewhere along the line, and wants you to accept it as okay if some children are brought late to class, because in their culture, being late is okay??? Please.

A wonderful resource for parents and educators.......2006-11-10

I purchased the book for a child development class. I use it constantly for evaluating program, activities and observations of children for educational purposes. It's a great reference.

A Wonderful, Refreshing Child Development Book.......2003-09-07

Finally, a book that offers sensible and realistic approaches to child development which departs from "mythical" ideas of past and archaic culture. Luckily, this volume isn't afraid to address the homogenous fallacies that have plagued our society and discusses significantly the exploration of truly modern theories embraced around the world. People of all walks of life, education, and backgrounds will rejoice in an important concept that this book teaches: genuinely nurturing children as opposed to treating them like pets.

Still the Best.......2002-10-18

Beginnings and Beyond is still the best Early Childhood Education text out there.

Moral people beware.......2002-08-21

If you have a conservative, moral or Christian bone in your body, this book will sicken you beyond your wildest imagination. If you fall into any of the above described categories, then this book will classify you as a "European male," or of "European Ancestory". This book preaches strongly a so called "diversity" but if you are a white male the "diversity" of opinions stops. (unless of course you decide to agree with the author.) And if you are a Catholic, you have even more to digest, as the book reaks of anti-Catholicism.

A Force To Be Reckoned With.......2007-09-26

G.S. Morrison? Jo Ann Brewer? Feeney, Christensen, & Moracivik? Watch Out!

This text packs some major punch...quite unexpectantly.

I've been waiting for this new edition from Gordon & Brown for four years. The last book was pretty intriguing. It had some very well-written sections on DAP, but this book takes a giant leap forward.

The key to a good early childhood introductory textbook is four-fold: (1) affordable, (2) comprehensive, but...,(3)...succinct, and (4) evidence-based. I think this book makes major improvements in three/four parts over the last edition.

Unfortunately, this book is not affordable compared to G.S. Morrison's FUNDAMENTALS OF EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION or Brewer's INTRODUCTION TO EARLY CHILDHOOD EDUCATION which are both under 100 bucks. This book is $103.00. Not good for the money-struggling undergrad or vocational student:(

The other three areas are where it soars pretty, surprisingly high.

It's quite comprehensive, a bit more than Brewer's text and a lot more than Morrison's text, especially in the theoretical parts. Morrison, nor Brewer talks about the transactional aspect of constructivism. Feeney et al's WHO AM I IN THE LIVES OF CHILDREN aludes to it, but that's it. Consequently, BEGINNINGS & BEYOND has new knowledge that these other heavyweights are not pulling.

Compared to Feeney et. al.'s thorough but somewhat drawn out style, this book is as clear as glass. They hit the basics, tell the details, and move on. Sometime's Feeney's book overwhelms while Brewer's and Morrison's books underwhelm. Gordon & Browne...almost get it just right...almost.

I think that an excellent textbook should integrate research into the content because that is where it comes from. Morrison rarely did this in his book while Brewer and Feeney sometimes too zealously integrated it. Gordon & Browne do it sparingly...only when necessary. That's a good approach for an intro text.

Do we have a new champion???

Customer Reviews:

Well done.......2007-08-31

Passed E20-120 with great score. As intermediate-level Documentum
professional I found the E20-120 exam very challenging and your book was
enormously helpful during my prep time. All in all, I have found your set of questions very brain teasing, rich and well thought.

Being under pressure to deliver and meet company's deadline it was essential to effectively bridge conflicting demands (work, family) and outperform when it is needed the most. Your book evidently boosted my performance. Furthermore, your book revealed many bottlenecks in my knowledge and significantly helped me to eliminate them, one by one, in time effective way. What I fancied was your clear, concise, focused writing style and the content of the book structured in manageable and digestible chunks. Of course, it is an extra effort to study in the evening but it pays off and now I am motivated to go
for E20-405.
Pawan, keep up the good work!

Great Introduction and Guide to Documentum.......2007-07-11

This book is a great introduction and overview of the Documentum platform. I wish I had something like this available when I started working with Documentum years ago. It not only introduces Documentum concepts to beginners, but it also serves as an excellent study guide for those wanting to become Documentum certified. It can also be an excellent reference book for even experienced Documentum users and administrators.
It is easy to read, with helpful self test questions at the end of every chapter.
