"A 'must have' for early childhood educators. This volume helps the reader keep abreast of the diverse knowledge bases that underlie the teaching of young children, and shows how applying research and theory can aid in preparing children for school. Coverage includes basic neural changes in infancy, typical socioemotional development, the effects of relationships and culture, and teaching and learning in specific content areas. The chapters provide a solid framework for novices and a terrific catch-up for seasoned professionals, with excellent bibliographies and cross-references. Barbarin, Wasik, and company have done the field a great service." - Barbara Bowman, Irving B. Harris Professor of Child Development, Erikson Institute, Chicago, Illinois, USA "The range of this text is tremendous and the scholarship that underpins it is impressive... My students will have to buy their own because mine is staying close to me, it will serve me as a teaching resource and an inspiration for my future professional work" -- Richard Eke, Educational Review, Vol. 63, No. 2, 2011, UK
