A useful study resource on theorists and their influence - By: Helen Simpson, 25 Oct 2008 
A clear & well set out book detailing approximately 20 theorists who have had influencesin the way we approach early years education.
I would normally dipin & out of text books but this one I was happy to read as it's set outin such a undemanding & informative way.
The book is set out with headings about each theorist's;
- Life & upbringing
- Books & writing
- Their theory
- How those theories have been put into practise & their influence
The author also critiques the theories & provides web sites & books to find out more about each one.
Whilst it's definitely a useful book & one I've found interesting, I had hoped to find some information on Maslow, Rogers or Kelly so was slightly disappointed they weren't mentioned.
Essential at any level - By: G. D. Griffin, 11 Feb 2008 
Great book, great for all levels - good mix of theorists, excellent links to more information. Good links to those who oppose the theorists cited & why - would recommend as a good basic book for any level of learning
