Print on Demand. In this volume, the author examines the profound effects of the burgeoning urban landscape on children in the early 20th century. As towns and cities rapidly expanded, the author highlights a fundamental shift in the environment surrounding children, from a predominantly natural world to one increasingly dominated by human-made structures. The author suggests that while the natural world fosters qualities such as stability and calm, the human-made urban environment breeds a sense of excitement, constant noise, and a lack of beauty. Through a unique blend of observation and analysis, the author demonstrates how factors such as the slower pace, greater silence, and natural beauty of rural environments foster different strengths and characteristics in children compared to those growing up in urban areas. In closing, the author underscores the critical need to understand these contrasting experiences and their impact on children's development, emphasizing that the insights gained from this work remain highly relevant to contemporary society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.…

To deal adequately with even that phase Of the problem of the town which concerns children, would require not a volume but a library Of volumes. Omissions are frequent, and whole branches of the subject, such as the physical health Of the child, have been compressed into a few pages or a short chapter; while to other aspects Of the problem an apparently inordinate space has been allotted. I have acted in this way not because I fail to realise the import ance Of the questions thus summarily treated, but because I am aware that they have been fully discussed by authors who can claim a wider experience and a more expert knowledge than anyi can boast. On the other hand, I have written at length on certain topics, not necessarily because I believe them to be Of the greatest moment, but because they have to a large extent been ignored by the student of social affairs.
I have made free use in this volume Of sundry articles and essays of my own already published, in some cases transplanting whole paragraphs into the text; while a portion of a paper, entitled Patriotism and Education which appeared in E gland a Nation has been included in the final chapter.

Other policies
Please note that we cannot accept cancellation requests once an order has been placed.
All Forgotten Books titles are printed on demand. The moment an order is submitted, it is automatically transmitted to our distributor and then forwarded to the printer, where it enters production. This process begins within minutes and is entirely automated.
A cancellation, however, is a manual, multi-step request that must pass through several systems. By the time such a request reaches the appropriate stage, the book has almost always been printed, packed, or already dispatched, which makes cancellation impossible.
For this reason, we kindly ask that you double-check the title, edition, and your shipping details before placing an order.
If you change your mind after ordering, you are welcome to return the book once it arrives, and a refund will be issued in accordance with AbeBooks’ return policy.
Please also make sure your address is correct before ordering as we will no be able to intervene and make changes before the book is shipped.
We can provide digital samples for all our print books ahead, so don't hesitate to reach out.
Returns
As a small publisher we do not have the facilities to resell returned books, so any returned book will be recycled. If the book is damaged or defective please continue with the return process, and thank you for letting us know so that we can improve our products. If you’re returning for another reason, however, please consider whether you could donate or gift the book instead so that it avoids the waste pile.
Thank you in advance!
