provocative...[The book] provides a welcome antidote for the
current spate of premature conclusions about what is and is not
important in development.

research in human development. Bronfenbrenner achieves this goal
superbly. . . The synthesis offered in this book is unique...The

exciting in its possibilities...This is a usable and practical
book...a powerful teaching text...It conveys masterfully the
mystery and excitement of scientific investigation.
