Perspectives on Play : Learning for Life


Description

Perspectives on Play exames current research and theoretical knowledge with regards to play as a medium of learning. It examines the theory of play, relating cutting-edge research to case studies of practice, taken from a broad range of multi-disciplinary perspectives. Brock's approach offers a dynamic persepctive on the practice of play that will rival existing texts on the market. "In my view, this text is already a market leader for the theme of 'Play'. It gives value for money as a comprehensive text."Dihann Gallard, Liverpool John Moores University

"Adventures from the Technology Underground" is Gurstelle's lively and weirdly compelling report of his travels. In these pages Perspectives on Play : Learning for Life pdf we meet Frank Kosdon and others who draw the scrutiny of the FAA, ATF, and other federal agencies in their pursuit of high-power amateur rocketry, which they demonstrate to impressive--and sometimes explosive--effect at the annual LDRS gathering held in various remote and unpopulated areas (a necessary consideration since that acronym stands for Large Dangerous Rocket Ships). Here also are the underground technologists who turn up at the Burning Man festival in the Nevada high desert, including Lucy Hosking, "the engineer from Hell" and the creator of Satan's Calliope, aka the World's Loudest Thing, a pipe organ made from jet engines. Also at Burning Man is Austin "Dr. MegaVolt" Richard, who braves the arcing, sputtering, six-digit voltages of a giant Tesla coil in his protective metal suit. Add in a trip to see medieval-style catapults, air cannons, and supersized slingshots in action at the World Championship Punkin Chunkin competition in Sussex County, Delaware, and forays to the postapocalyptic enclaves of the flamethrower builders and the future-noir pits of the fighting robots, and you have proof positive that the age of invention is still going strong.
