<p>CHILDREN                                  TODAYThe primary purpose of Children Today is to introduce a wide range of college - level students to the exciting and dynamic field of child development. The story of the first two decades of a human life, in any cultural context, is likely to be a rich and compelling drama. The systematic and interdisciplinary study of children in broad cultural contexts is a challenge that puzzles researchers and students alike. This text draws from many fields-anthropology, sociology, history, nursing, public health and, of course, psychology - to present an up-to-date portrayal of the key issues, topics, and contemporary controversies in child development.</p>
