Woodland games, crafts, and other outdoor adventures from the Forest School--for parents and their children

The rise of the grassroots Forest School movement in recent years is part of a groundswell of concern about the wellbeing of our children, with many media scare stories about child obesity, "nature deficit disorder" (as described in Last Child in the Woods), and lack of exposure to risk.

This outdoor adventure manual is the antidote! Packed full of ideas, from making nature jewelry and whittling a bow and arrow, to building a shelter and foraging for food, it also celebrates the Forest School philosophy of encouraging self-esteem, confidence, and social skills through engagement with nature. The activities contain variations for varied age groups, small groups like play dates or birthday parties, as well as things to do with just one or two children. Parents are encouraged to guide the play but the activity instructions are written in a simple style with fun illustrations so that kids can take the lead as well.

The authoritative edition of The Winter's Tale from The Folger Shakespeare Library, the trusted and widely used Shakespeare series for students and general readers.

The Winter's Tale, one of Shakespeare's very late plays, is filled with improbabilities. Before the conclusion, one character comments that what we are about to see, "Were it but told you, should be hooted at / Like an old tale."

It includes murderous passions, man-eating bears, princes and princesses in disguise, death by drowning and by grief, oracles, betrayal, and unexpected joy. Yet the play, which draws much of its power from Greek myth, is grounded in the everyday.

A "winter's tale" is one told or read on a long winter's night. Paradoxically, this winter's tale is ideally seen rather than read--though the imagination can transform words into vivid action. Its shift from tragedy to comedy, disguises, and startling exits and transformations seem addressed to theater audiences.

This edition includes:

-Freshly edited text based on the best early printed version of the play
-Full explanatory notes conveniently placed on pages facing the text of the play
-Scene-by-scene plot summaries
-A key to the play's famous lines and phrases
-An introduction to reading Shakespeare's language
-An essay by a leading Shakespeare scholar providing a modern perspective on the play
-Fresh images from the Folger Shakespeare Library's vast holdings of rare books
-An annotated guide to further reading

Nota de autora:

En 2017 di a luz a mi hija. El parto pasó de ser un trámite que me aterrorizaba a la experiencia más enriquecedora y positiva que he vivido. Por primera vez me sentí completamente conectada a mi instinto. Al principio de mi embarazo nunca hubiese podido imaginar dar a luz así. Las técnicas de hipnoparto o hypnobirthing me ayudaron a reemplazar mis miedos por seguridad y confianza y a dejarme llevar por mi instinto. Mi experiencia me llevó a formarme y a ejercer como instructora de hipnoparto (Acreditada por KGHypnobirthing, una titulación respaldada por el Colegio Real de Matronas de Reino Unido) y más adelante a desarrollar mi propio programa de educación prenatal bajo mi método Parto Positivo. En este libro recojo todas las herramientas necesarias para tener el mejor parto posible así como información basada en evidencia científica y respaldada por más de 50 referencias bibliográficas.

El hipnoparto se basa en que el parto es un proceso fisiológico normal y ligado al instinto femenino más profundo. Tu cuerpo, como el de cualquier otra mamífera, sabe cómo parir y tu bebé sabe nacer. Simplemente, tenemos que dejarnos llevar y a veces dejarse llevar es lo más complicado. Mi misión es llegar a tantas futuras madres como pueda. Espero que este libro te ayude a crear momentos de calma y conexión con tu ins
