<p>  This book uses a chronological organization to teach principles of development and encourages readers to reflect on their own personal experience of development. The authors believe that development follows a transactional approach where the process of human development is shaped by the continuous interplay, or transactions, between individuals and their environments. The book stresses the dynamic role of the environment, as well as biology and culture, in the developmental context. The theme of the diversity is interwoven throughout. Critical thinking is also stressed. While the book is research based, the tone is warm and personal with plenty of examples to which readers can relate.  The book is organized in seven parts, each consisting of two chapters: Part I covers the field of developmental psychology, including overviews of historical foundations, general theories, and the scientific method. Part II contains two chapters on the genetic and environmental bases for prenatal development, birth, and neonatal development. Parts III-VII each integrate a chapter on physical and cognitive development and a chapter on social and emotional development during specific stages of growth from infancy to late adolescence.  For anyone interested in child and adolescent development. </p>

Discovering Child Development

This accessible and engaging text, written by well-known and respected child development researchers and teachers, emphasizes applying research to practice. Discovering Child Development focuses on the many ways in which children are affected by their environments. The authors illustrate the ways in which children are unique and the impact that people, contexts, and experiences have on how they develop. Martin and Fabes also encourage students to think critically about research and issues in child development and see how these relate to real-life experiences.

Wadsworth Publishing

This book presents findings from current scientific research in child development, highlighting how scientists tackle issues that impact children and their families.  The authors have integrated examples of diversity throughout the book, in the domains of physical, psychological and cultural differences, gender, race, ethnicity, and social and economic status. Community and social issues are also covered extensively, which help readers to think critically about their world. As many readers of this book are pursuing careers as teachers, care providers or parents, the authors focus the material on these real-world applications, and demonstrate how theory and research matter for what readers need in their own lives.  For those involved in the fields of early childhood education.
