Reviews

Each volume, rich in information, consists of several parts;, each chapter begins with a summary of the contents and ends with a recent full and rich bibliography. The author is well aware of the dynamic and innovative nature of such a work (which is already the authoritative reference for years to come). He realizes how cultural, social processes cognitive, neural and molecular factors work together to develop perceptual and motor skills, cognition, language, personality and emotion, or social skills throughout life, including that of singular populations (autism and other developmental psychopathology)... In short this is a book of exceptional quality and should be of interest to students and researchers, as well as clinicians such as physiotherapists involved in the field of human development and especially of children.
