The editor's choices provide a clear and fertile path through the otherwise overwhelming mass of Piaget's work. . . . Beautifully orchestrated, the whole illuminates the parts and the parts clarify one another. (Jeanne Bamberger)
To live up to its title, this volume . . . should be seen as 'necessary' by anyone with a serious interest in Piaget; it should encapsulate in its 900-odd pages the principal features of its subject. Without question, The Essential Piaget succeeds on both accounts. (Howard Gardner)
Through its completeness, its logical organization, and its sensitive commentaries, The Essential Piaget gives a clear and valuable picture of the man as seen in his work. (Barbel Inhelder)
