An Anthology of Educational Thinkers: Putting theory into practice in the early years

By Sally Featherstone (Featherstone Education, £18.99)

From Addams and Bowlby to Vygotsky, this anthology provides an excellent introduction to the major groups of educational thinkers. Each is assigned a short section that opens with key summary points and in-depth information on his or her life and legacy. The book shows practitioners how to put these theories into practice, with explanations of how theories are linked to the EYFS, examples of how the thinkers worked and, most importantly, demonstrations of the way they influenced how most early years practitioners work today.
