Infant Development: The Essential Readings introduces the reader to the field of infancy research and to some of the current, lively controversies within this area.

Each of the articles within the reader has been chosen to reflect the dynamic, changing nature of the subject and the diversity of research and thinking within the are of infant development. The articles have also been selected to be accessible to students at all levels. These articles are all by leading infancy researchers, and they are introduced and contextualized by the editors.
