Here is the second edition of our
topically organized textbook,
Child Development: Principles and Perspectives
(2009)
at
http://www.pearsonhighered.com/educator/academic/product/0,3110,0205494064,00.html.
Our topically-organized book
combines streamlined coverage with an application-driven active learning
system. We encourage students to think about how they can promote
positive child development by putting the science to work outside of the
classroom.
Each chapter has been thoroughly updated from the 1st edition but keeps
its 'user friendly' emphasis. We include numerous applications,
including interviews with a real parent (or child) and a real
professional who in some way depends upon child development research.
