Experienced author and researcher Alan Fogel draws heavily on infancy research that has been conducted in the past twenty years to provide an authoritative, scientifically-based account on infant development. The research results reported in this book, combined with readers' own experiences with infants, will lead them to a closer understanding of what babies are like. 
Fogel conveys the vitality of infants as developing human beings using a chronological apporach to infant development. Each chapter presents a multifaceted picture of babies in a particular age period. Similar topics are covered in each chapter, with an eye toward distinguishing the developmental uniqueness of babies at each age. In most chapters, these topics include motor and physical development, perceptual and cognitive develpment, and social and language development. Research is also presented on what infants actually do, think, and feel and on how they behave in everyday contexts.

Infancy: Infant, Family, &amp; Society is the fifth edition of Alan Fogel's classic text on development in infancy. This edition features a new publisher, a complete re-design for greater visual appeal, and a price that is 30% lower than the previous edition. This text spans the four-year period in the human life course between conception and 36 months. The book's scientifically-based coverage is balanced by clear and accessible writing and the inclusion of both theoretical and applied topics. 
 Taking a systems perspective, this book places the infant in the context of interpersonal relationships with caregivers, other family members, hospitals, child care centers, and peers and with respect to the social policies and cultural practices that shape the course of these interpersonal relationships. A central theme of the book is the development of individual differences: the biological factors and environmental factors that combine to create unique developmental pathways for processes such as temperament, cognitive growth, and attachment.

Infant Development: A Topical Approach is a text for an infant development course that is organized around topics. This approach allows for coherent organization within domains such as sensorimotor, cognitive and brain, emotional, social and communicative development in infancy. In addition, there are chapters that cover research methods, theory, prenatal development, childbirth, health and risk, and family and culture, and the long-term effects of the infancy period. Similar to Alan Fogel's classic text, Infancy: Infant, family, and society, 5th Edition (Sloan Publishing), which is organized by ages and stages, Infant Development: A Topical Approach brings the same balance of careful scientific review of the literature, down-to-earth writing style that appeals to students, as well as many applied topics relevant to the life of infants and their families. These include infant maltreatment, attachment, poverty, infant mental health, and nutrition. Many topics are relevant to parenting such as prenatal maternal health, parental adaptation to a new baby, parental employment, and the effects of infants with special needs on families. New to this book, instructor supplements include a Test Bank which provides approximately 80 multiple-choice, true-false, matching, and essay questions per chapter, as well as an extensive set of Powerpoint Lecture Slides. And with a student price of $69.95, this text is significantly less expensive than other textbooks available for this course, some of which cost your students over $110.00.
