The Lion and the Mouse: An Aesop Fable Retold and Illustrated by Bernadette Watts
No full textHere is an extra copy of this book. ©2000 by Nord-Süd Verlag AG, Gossau Zürich, and first published in Switzerland under the title Der Löwe und die Maus. This lovely oversized edition starts in a new way: a playful lion cub is awakened by a mouse scampering across his paw. Making the lion young allows, I think, for a different understanding of his boast that a mouse cannot help a lion. Though the art is still done for children, Watts creates one of the most realistic nets I have seen for the lion, who roars day and night. None of the animals can help him. Watts pays special attention to the surrounding creatures, including colorful snakes and birds. My favorites are the curious and attentive mongooses.This is a hardbound book (hard cover)This book has a dust jacket (book cover)First editionFirst printingRetold and Illustrated by Bernadette Watt
But is it science?
No full textEarly years science education is not science, but a curricular construction designed to induct young children into a range of ideas and practices related to the natural world. While inquiry-based learning is an important approach to this, it is not of itself unique to science and there are a range of logico-mathematical constructions that come closer to the essence of science. In this paper we discuss just three: empirical question-asking, transgressive play, and good thinking. The challenge, of course is to induct early years practitioners to a different way of shaping early science

G. F. Watts
No full textG. F. Watts was one of the major artistic figures of the nineteenth century. In this work published in 1905, only a year after Watts' death, Emilie Barrington (1841–1933) reflects on the close friendship she and her husband had with the renowned artist. Her aim in writing her volume of reminiscences was to accurately record her knowledge of Watts' life. She describes her first impressions, when she first met him in Dante Gabriel Rossetti's studio. Chapters also cover Watts' aims as an artist, his relationships and his genius. This fascinating book is highly illustrated throughout, including Watts' sketches, symbolical paintings and portraits. The reader will gain an intriguing insight into the life and work of this complex character, widely considered to be the greatest painter of the Victorian age.

Preliminary Analysis from a Health Needs Assessment on the Accessibility to Green Space and its Potential Effects on Child Obesity in Watts, California
No full text31p.The child obesity rate is greater in low-income communities of color in South Los Angeles, California, than in White, affluent communities in West Los Angeles, California. The social determinants of health can help explore the underlying causes behind this disparity. In June 20 18, the Harbor-UCLA Summer Urban Health Fellowship explored the determinants of child obesity by conducting a health needs assessment within households in Watts, California, a neighborhood in South Los Angeles. For this study, we focused on access to green space, safety, and fast food consumption as factors that may be associated with the observed child obesity rate in Watts. Our preliminary data suggest that safety and poverty could be barriers for youth to access green space for physical activity, contributing to the high observed child obesity rates in Watts. In addition, reported fast food consumption was relatively high in youth, which may be another risk factor for child obesity in this neighborhood. Future directions this study can consider involve conducting qualitative interviews under a community-based participatory research model, carrying out a statistical analysis of the household survey data, and carrying out data analysis and discussions with community members to collaboratively plan future action to lower child obesity rates in Watts
