An Introduction to Child Development: Second Edition

This Second Edition has been fully updated to provide a comprehensive survey of the main areas of child development, from infancy through to adolescence. It now covers more on the biological foundations of development, plus new chapters on moral development and applied developmental psychology. Additionally, while equipping students with an appreciation of critical issues in the field and an understanding of empirical research that bears on the study of children, the text provides balanced coverage of topics and theoretical perspectives that represent both classic and cutting edge work in child development. The text comes with a dedicated website with resources for both students and instructors.
