What do the conditions mean?

Our conditions mean the following:

  • New - a brand new book
  • Almost New - appears new but is actually secondhand.
  • Very Good - only minor imperfections such as minor scuffs to edge or cover or a price written in pencil or shop sticker.
  • Standard Secondhand - Clearly been read before, but not too bad. We do not recommend these for gifting. Spines usually creased. Could also include creases or folds to cover, some writing such as in the cover or elsewhere, underlining or highlighting, but might not do. Possibly some stains or marks. Similar in general to books in any secondhand shop or charity shop.
  • Poor Condition - Usually this will have a specific problem such as writing inside, water damage, missing dust jacket, heavy staining, large creases or cuts. These are readable copies but not nice ones. On other websites this condition is called 'Acceptable' or 'Fair' , but we want to be more honest.

Noting that whereas British primary schools are admirable, provision of preschool education is uneven, this book examines the questionable changes brought on by recent government policies, and the consequences of those changes, enjoining policymakers to change their attitude toward early childhood education and improve the mesh between nursery and primary schools. Following an introduction about the effects of policy on quality early childhood provision, the chapters are as follows: (1) "Why Not Happiness? Reflections on Change and Conflict in Early Childhood Education" (Marian Whitehead); (2) "Four Year Olds in School: Cause for Concern" (Jenefer Joseph); (3) "The Professional Identity of Early Years Teachers: Challenges and Constraints" (Iram Siraj-Blatchford); and (4) Early Childhood Education...Where Are We Now?" (Rosalind Swann and Philip Gammage). The book concludes with a postscript, listing ten points of good practice in early childhood education. References are included with each chapter. (HTH)
