by Cathy Nutbrown (Sage, £27.99)
A critical overview of international research, written against the backdrop of Brexit, terror attacks and the Grenfell tower fire. Ms Nutbrown says ‘living through these times inevitably makes us question what is right…bubbling to the surface throughout this book are the things that I have come to believe matter…and are important research contributions to improving the lives and learning experiences of young children.’ The book analyses types of research and its uses, design, ethics, trends, and new research areas.
