From the Publisher

This chronologically organized introduction to child development covers the period from conception through late adolescence. The viewpoint is transactional--children are seen as playing an active role in their own development, not as passive recipients of whatever the environment happens to deal out. Harris and Liebert combine a lively, "journalistic" style of writing with a scholarly approach to data and theory, focusing especially on new data and current theories.
