Sail a toy ship across the ocean... Build an igloo... Ollie and Harry Ferguson did it—and you can too! Starting with a list of 500 “adventures”, the Scottish brothers set out to live life to its fullest. They’ve photographed the sea floor, launched a plastic toy into space, mummified fish and tracked wild animals; they’ve gone magnet fishing and camping, sailed aboard a deep-sea diving vessel, caught lobsters, made a bathtub in the woods, crossed the ocean in a toy boat, gone on a meteorite hunt, made a megapult, raised chickens, built an outdoor shelter, sailed a kite boat, built a wildlife reserve, went on a mountain hike and have flown trained falcons.With striking colour photographs and featuring step-by-step directions for some of the boys’ best adventures, this book provides guidance that will inspire families to marvellous adventures of their own.

Protecting Children in Time provides a highly original analysis of the origins and development of the taken for granted notion that it is possible through social intervention to protect children from avoidable harm and even death, to protect children in time. By using case studies which span the past 120 years of 'modern' practices and drawing on the work of leading social theorists of modernity and risk society it provides a new way of thinking about constructions of child abuse as a social problem and child protection as a late modern expert system and experience. It proposes new ways of conceptualizing relationships between professionals, children at risk and families and deepens our understanding of what effective interventions have to involve.

Despite its huge public profile, surprisingly little is known about child protection work. Discussion focuses on failures that result in children dying, or on what social workers cannot do, due to bureaucratic pressures and limited time. This book examines in detail how social workers can use the time they do have to relate to children and families, make child protection work and create meaningful change. Featuring:• Detailed examination of real-world child protection work and family experiences based on original research;• A new vocabulary for understanding and improving social work and relationship-based practice;• New insights into how to provide effective staff support and supervision;• Original integration of psychoanalytic and sociological perspectives; and • Practical tools for navigating challenges such as working with infants and managing hostile relationships.Sure to become a classic social work text, this book explores how helpful relationships are made and sustained, and how they can be made better. It provides a new ‘forward-facing’ approach, with practical and theoretical insights into how, and under what organisational conditions, relationship-based practice and child protection can be made to work.
