This book helps fill the gap,　presenting for the first time in English,　writings and speeches spanning 1945 to 1993, selected by a group of his colleagues from an archive established in Reggio Emilia. They range from short poems, letters and newspaper articles to extended pieces about Malaguzzi's early life, the origins of the municipal schools and his ideas about children, pedagogy and schools. This material is organised into five chronological chapters, starting at the end of World War Two and ending just before his death, with introductions to each chapter providing background, including the historical context, the main events in Malaguzzi's life and the rationale for the selection of documents.　\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book　provides　a unique insight into the background, thinking and work of Malaguzzi,　revealing, in his own words, how his thinking developed, how he moved between theory and practice, how he border-crossed many disciplines and subjects, and how he combined many roles ranging from administrator and campaigner to researcher and pedagogue. Academics, students and practitioners alike will find this landmark publication provides rich insights into his life and work.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePaola Cagliari\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003ci\u003epedagogista\u003c\/i\u003e, is Director of the \u003ci\u003eScuole e Nidi d'Infanzia \u003c\/i\u003e- \u003ci\u003eIstituzione del Comune di Reggio Emilia \u003c\/i\u003e[Preschools and Infant-Toddler Centres - \u003ci\u003eIstituzione \u003c\/i\u003eof the municipality of Reggio Emilia], Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarina Castagnetti\u003c\/strong\u003e, preschool teacher, is archive curator at the Documentation and Educational Research Centre of the \u003ci\u003eScuole e Nidi d'Infanzia \u003c\/i\u003e- \u003ci\u003eIstituzione del Comune di Reggio Emilia\u003c\/i\u003e, Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClaudia Giudici\u003c\/strong\u003e, psychologist, is President of the \u003ci\u003eScuole e Nidi d'Infanzia \u003c\/i\u003e- \u003ci\u003eIstituzione del Comune di Reggio Emilia, \u003c\/i\u003eand a member of the Board of Directors of Reggio Children, Reggio Emilia, Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCarlina Rinaldi\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003ci\u003epedagogista\u003c\/i\u003e, is President of Reggio Children and of the Reggio Children-Loris Malaguzzi Centre Foundation, Reggio Emilia, Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVea Vecchi\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003ci\u003eatelierista\u003c\/i\u003e, is responsible for the area of Exhibitions, Publishing and Ateliers in Reggio Children, Reggio Emilia, Italy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeter Moss \u003c\/strong\u003eis Emeritus Professor of Early Childhood Provision at the Thomas Coram Research Unit, UCL Institute of Education, University College London\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 450\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1.2 x 9 x 6.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e March 02, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51748111810848,"sku":"9781138019829","price":134.44,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0974\/9764\/5344\/files\/27b7bf054c63418b36947d0f09ff2f53.webp?v=1779904663","url":"https:\/\/ebocreations.com\/products\/loris-malaguzzi-and-the-schools-of-reggio-emilia-a-selection-of-his-writings-and-speeches-1945-1993-paperback","provider":"The E-Book Oasis LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
