Reviews

"This book provides first-rate, scholarly coverage of many key topics in social and personality development. Graduate students and other developmental professionals will benefit from reading this well-written set of chapters by leading researchers in the field." - Nancy Eisenberg, Arizona State University, USA"The study of social and personality development races along so fast that it can be hard for even the most talented scholar to keep up. Thankfully, this volume is an invaluable tool in that effort. World-class developmentalists provide up to date insight into contemporary understanding of foundational issues pertaining to theory, methods, the role of culture, parent-child relationships, peer relations, and schooling. It will surely prove useful to advanced undergraduate students, graduate students and academics, practitioners and policy makers alike." - Jay Belsky, University of California, Davis, USA
