Enhanced descriptions from Syndetics:
A standard textbook that emphasizes an extremely up-to-date (more than 250 references from 1993, 1994, and in-press sources) presentation of research in the three primary domains of child development: biological processes, cognitive processes, and socioemotional processes. The changes in this edition (5th ed. was 1992) include increased and updated coverage of culture, ethnicity, and gender; families and parenting; and health and well-being.
