Twenty-four chapters address various issues in contemporary developmental research. The first three sections (infancy, preschool, and childhood) address specific domains of development such as learning, cognition, and social and emotional development. The next section (cross-cutting themes) is less bound to developmental achievements and emphasizes issues such as the impact of gender, poverty, violence, and the nature of parenting. Finally, the new frontiers chapters explore a variety of themes relevant to child development. CiP cites ISBN as 1084169-000-7. -- Copyright © 2000 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR All rights reserved
