Developmental Science: An Advanced Textbook

by Marc H. Bornstein (Editor)

Developmental Science: An Advanced Textbook is the most complete and cutting-edge introduction to the field available today. Since its initial publication, the key purpose of the text has been to furnish inclusive developmental perspectives on all substantive areas in psychology—neuroscience, perception, cognition, language, emotion, and social interaction. This edition is no exception, as it continues to underscore the dynamic and exciting status of contemporary developmental science.

In this Seventh Edition, Marc H. Bornstein and Michael E. Lamb once again invite international experts to prepare original, comprehensive, and topical treatments of the major areas of developmental science, which are masterfully woven into a single coherent volume. Some chapters in this edition are new, and those carried forward from the sixth edition have been extensively revised. This volume represents faithfully the current status of scholarly efforts in all aspects of developmental science. Ideal for advanced undergraduate and introductory graduate courses, the text is accompanied by a website with supplementary material for students and instructors, including chapter outlines, topics to think about before reading, glossaries, and suggested readings.

[Lefteris Hazapis · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is a seminal reference text for developmental psychology. It's a tough read and is quite comprehensive.

[Deanka · Rating 4 out of 5]

Extremely technical. Please read knowing that this book reads as if you've been in the field for 20 years already and should know exactly what they are trying to say. Also, have a dictionary handy.

It's too unintelligible for ESL students like me, and it's my textbook...
