This revision is the third edition of a highly successful introductory child development text for mid-level courses, written by three prominent developmental scholars. The third edition features the most current research and theoretical findings available, and includes fascinating vignettes about three children who students follow throughout the text. The text emphasizes diversity, a balance between research and applications, and coverage of the latest developments within the discipline.
There is all kinds of great stuff to learn about in this book. My favorite part that no one will read is the part about how children develop visual abilities. Have you ever thought about what a baby really sees?
