Volume II, Theory and Research in Cognitive Science (737-0), presents a review of contemporary cognitive science and its implications for the intergenerational transfer of literacy and other cognitive skills. The volumes are available individually for $45. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
