The World of Children (2010)

 http://www.pearsonhighered.com/educator/product/World-of-Children-The/9780205685929.page

This is the latest update of our chronologically organized child development textbook. As always, our focus is on up-to-date, accurate, and useable information written in a 'user-friendly' style. Includes updated content for every chapter, emphasis on critical thinking and four main themes of development (nature and nurture, neuroscience, diversity and multiculturalsim, positive development and resilience), vodcasts, and full support from Allyn & Bacon's My Development Lab ....and much more!
 

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.
