The insights of revisiting shared places or ecological niches are not documented as chronological or linear activities but framed as conceptual events: nesting in the large wooden bed, imaginary play with found objects in the cupboard of curiosity; foraging in the garden and forest; following tracks and traces on the earth, bark, and pathways. The book is novel as it endeavours to imagine children's ecological learning before adult humans intervene with intentional teaching. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMalone argues that this teaching can disconnect and extract children's rhythms of the natural world. It provides insights into new and seldom asked questions about being human: Are children born with a non-anthropocentric sensitivity? Do child bodies as knowing biological and ecological beings, learn from sensorial encounters what it means to be human? And where does the learning of anthropocentricism begin?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eKaren Malone\u003c\/b\u003e is Professor of Education Philosophy, Environmental and Childhood Studies in the School of Social Sciences, Media, Film and Education at Swinburne University of Technology in Melbourne, Australia.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14 June 2027\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eImprint: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBloomsbury Academic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e9781350503250\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFormat: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardback\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePage Count: \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e256\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight (oz): \u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Bloomsbury Academic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51669720465548,"sku":"9781350503250","price":108.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781350503250","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
