What if there were video games that weren’t about killing things? The world’s biggest entertainment medium has come under decades of scrutiny because of its violent content. But here’s a little known fact: from the very beginning, non-violent video games have done as much, if not more, to shape the industry than violent ones. The Best Non-Violent Video Games is the first ever guide to the full breath of interactive entertainment. Discover the true variety the medium has to offer and learn how developers constantly find new ways to engage people by challenging their minds, testing their reflexes, and even tugging at the heartstrings. Take a journey through more than three hundred video games, stretching back to the very dawn of the industry and extending right up to modern day indie hits. You’ll learn more about the origins of some of gaming’s biggest franchises, discover underrated gems from developers of all sizes, and perhaps even find some new favorites. Written by a journalist with over 15 years of industry experience and more than 30 years of gaming experience, this guide is for anyone seeking something truly different from the video games space without dealing with guns and gore, or those simply looking for a change of pace.

Four-year-old children are so full of wonder. The world is theirs to explore and with the proper nurturing they can accomplish many great things. In a typical preschool class, there will be 4-year-olds at several different levels of development. It is important for the preschool teacher to provide activities that meet the needs of all children that all children can accomplish with success, and that can help to move them to higher levels of development. This book is designed to assist early childhood educators in implementing literacy and other developmentally appropriate cognitive, social and emotional, as well as fine and gross motor activities. Research has proven that a four-year-old experience is perhaps the most important year in a child’s life as it pertains to readiness to enter Kindergarten. Each activity in the book has been “tried and tested” by colleagues; those who teach in a Pre-K four program. You will enjoy seeing the delight in these young learners as they embark on a fascinating, wondrous stage of development. Four-year-old children are so full of wonder.
