"Academic libraries catering for courses in psychology or
child development should definitely consider this excellent
handbook for acquisition, and should also be considering how much
of their older stock on child psychology needs
updating." (Reference Reviews, 1 October
2014)

A comprehensive and authoritative overview of an expanding field
written by leading researchers. Where I knew the topic, I was
impressed; where I did not I was informed by clear, well organized
text.
