10 er det antal centimeter, som kvinden skal åbne sig, inden hun kan føde sit barn. Det er også det antal centimeter, som barnet skal bevæge sig ned gennem fødselskanalen, før det kan se dagens lys. Derfor er det vigtigt for den gravide og hendes partner at få en forståelse for de 10 cm, inden fødslen starter.Bogen 10 cm er skrevet til de kvinder og deres partnere, der gerne vil være bedst muligt rustet til at komme godt og trygt igennem en fødsel. Den er til dem, der ønsker at vide, hvad der helt konkret sker i og med kvindens krop fra fødslen begynder, til barnet ligger trygt på sin mors bryst. Bogen tager udgangspunkt i den psykoprofylaktiske tilgang til fødselsarbejdet, hvilket er en meget anerkendt metode, der har været brugt igennem årtier. Denne tilgang har de to forfattere, jordemødrene Tina Winther og Signe Hasseriis, videreudviklet, og på deres Mamaprofylax-kurser rundt omkring i Danmark har flere tusinde kvinder og deres partnere nu tillært sig denne meget roste metode til brug under fødslen. Ved at læse denne bog bliver den gravide og hendes partner – som med denne tilgang spiller en meget central rolle – klogere på fødselsarbejdet fra start til slut. Tina Winther og Signe Hasseriis guider den gravide og hendes partner gennem fysiske og mentale øvelser, som de to kan træne sammen under graviditeten og gøre brug af under fødslen. De simple øvelser giver den gravide og hendes partner en vigtig og afgørende tillid til kroppen og dens formåen, og de to lærer at samarbejde som et stærkt og fortroligt team, hvilket er afgørende for at opnå en god og tryg fødsel. Om forfatterne Tina Winther er oprindelig uddannet pædagog og har siden 2009 arbejdet som jordemoder. Hun er indehaver af Mamaprofylax, som hun har formidlet siden 2011, hvor der tilbydes fødselsforberedelse til gravide og deres partnere i København og Århus. Signe Hasseriis er uddannet jordemoder fra 2012 og har det meste af sit jordemoderliv arbejdet på Hvidovre Hospital, men også i Norge og ad flere omgange i Grønland. Derudover har hun været underviser hos Mamaprofylax siden 2014. Hun brænder for formidling og for at skabe en større forståelse for fødselsarbejdet hos kommende forældre. Hun arbejder både med graviditetsundersøgelser og varetager fødsler på hospitalet samt ved hjemmefødsler.

Gode sprogfærdigheder er vigtige for barnet. Sprog gør, at børn kan indgå i fællesskaber, kan forklare deres meninger og tanker, kan stille spørgsmål om deres omverden – og forstå svarene. Et begrænset talesprog vil samtidig begrænse barnets forudsætninger for gode læsefærdigheder senere i skolen. Pædagogen spiller derfor en vigtig og central rolle, da man som pædagog har mulighed for at understøtte sprogtilegnelsen i den periode af barnets liv, hvor det såkaldte sprogvindue står åbent.Denne bog guider læseren igennem barnets udvikling fra sprogløst spædbarn til konstant spørgende fire­årig, hvis udtale og grammatik er nærmest fejlfri. Bogen begynder ved barnets før-sproglige stadium, hvor kommunikationen består af mange andre udtryk end et egentligt sprog. Derfra fortsætter den med barnets tilegnelse af fonologi, leksikon og grammatik. Den behandler desuden emner som tosprogethed og preliteracy hos førskolebarnet i dagtilbud. Efter hvert kapitel giver forfatteren forslag og anbefalinger til praksis.Bogen har sit teoretiske afsæt i lingvistikken og henvender sig til pædagogisk personale og pædagogstuderende, der ønsker en videnskabelig og evidensbaseret forståelse af sprogtilegnelse. Desuden vil dagplejere og andre, der arbejder med småbørn, finde bogen relevant i sammenhæng med understøttelsen af barnets sprog.Justin Markussen-Brown er dansk-canadisk lingvist og har forsket i danske pædagogers sprogpædagogiske praksis og i effekten af efteruddannelse i sprogpædagogisk praksis. Hans ph.d.-afhandling nåede i top 5 i Ph.d. Cup i 2015, og Justin er kendt for sin letforståelige og -tilgængelige formidling af sprogtilegnelsens kompleksitet.Antal

First published a half-century ago, Rachel Carson''s award-winning The Sense of Wonder remains the classic guide to introducing children to the marvels of natureIn 1955, acclaimed conservationist Rachel Carson—author of Silent Spring—began work on an essay that she would come to consider one of her life’s most important projects. Her grandnephew, Roger Christie, had visited Carson that summer at her cottage in Maine, and together they had wandered the surrounding woods and tide pools. Teaching Roger about the natural wonders around them, Carson began to see them anew herself, and wanted to relate that same magical feeling to others who might hope to introduce a child to the beauty of nature. “If a child is to keep alive his inborn sense of wonder,” writes Carson, “he needs the companionship of at least one adult who can share it, rediscovering with him the joy, excitement and mystery of the world we live in.”The Sense of Wonder is a timeless volume that will be passed on from generation to generation, as treasured as the memory of an early-morning walk when the song of a whippoorwill was heard as if for the first time. Featuring serene color photographs from renowned photographer Nick Kelsh, “this beautifully illustrated edition makes a fine gift for new and prospective mothers and fathers” (Gregory McNamee), and helps us all to tap into the extraordinary power of the natural world.
