Children and Nature: Psychological, Sociocultural, and Evolutionary Investigations by Kahn, Peter H., Jr., ISBN 0262611759
For much of human evolution, the natural world was one of the most important contexts of children's maturation. Indeed, the experience of nature was, and still may be, a critical component of human physical, emotional, intellectual, and even moral development. Yet scientific knowledge of the significance of nature during the different stages of childhood is sparse. This book provides scientific investigations and thought-provoking essays on children and nature."Children and Nature incorporates research from cognitive science, developmental psychology, ecology, education, environmental studies, evolutionary psychology, political science, primatology, psychiatry, and social psychology. The authors examine the evolutionary significance of nature during childhood; the formation of children's conceptions, values, and sympathies toward the natural world; how contact with nature affects children's physical and mental development; and the educational and political consequences of the weakened childhood experience of nature in modern society.

Discourse, Learning, and Schooling by Deboraah Hicks, ISBN 0521453011
Within the fields of education and psychology, the role that discourse plays in social processes of learning and teaching has emerged as a critical empirical and theoretical question. Discourse, Learning, and Schooling explores theoretical and methodological relationships between children's discourse - or socially used language - and their learning in educational settings. The authors in this volume address a range of issues including literacy, authorship, the construction of the self, and classroom interactional processes. Individual chapters range from research studies of classroom discourse to essayist reflections on discourse and literacies. Collectively, these chapters reflect both sociocognitive perspectives on the relations between discourse, learning, and schooling and sociocultural perspectives on discourse and literacies among diverse cultural groups.

European Regulation of Consumer Product Safety
This book examines European legislation that regulates the safety of consumer products. There are different legal requirements for medicines, machines, electronics, toys and so on, which employ different regulatory mechanisms. Hodges compares the various mechanisms and asks why particular mechanisms are used, or not used for different products. The book then moves on to consider what is meant by product "safety," demonstrating the relativity of this concept.
