Summary:
This book provides the first comprehensive overview of Steiner's creative work, while also examining his historic roots and his ongoing influence. Several essays by different authors approach the phenomenon of Steiner from a variety of perspectives, examining topics such as the period in which his work evolved, the way that Steiner combined natural and spiritual science, his work in architecture, design and stage performance, and his influence on tendencies in present-day art.

Summary:
The volume, realized in co-operation with the Vitra Design Museum is both the catalogue of an internationally travelling exhibition and one of the first monographical studies entirely devoted to the subject of children’s games and furniture. Furniture and games for children, irrespective of culture or period, can be perceived as vehicles for communicating society’s attitudes towards learning, the child’s physical and phychological development, safety, order in the family, territory, the place of play and patterns of social behaviour; although the child, by contrast, regards them as largely interchangeable objects in the serious work of play, the organization of modern society tends to give them always more importance, changing them into real products of design. The volume aims to explore the world of childhood throughout the different types of furniture artefacts and games from various periods and cultures in the world which illuminate the changing relationship between children and adults, the growing attention to child-centred provision and educational values and the fundamental role of playing in the history of childhood of different countries. The catalogue essays are written by chilhood specialists, social historians, ethnologists, educationalists, industrials designers (specialist in playground and play equipment) and experts on children living in the various cultures of the world: Lucy Bullivant, Mike Scaife, Linda Pollock, Eileen Adams, Günter Beltzig, Ingeborg Weber-Kellermann, Gerhard Kubik, Tina Wodiung and Sally Kevill-Davies.
