"This is a comprehensive and authoritative review of the field
of early childhood research, covering the basic scientific and key
policy issues, with contributions from the leading researchers. It
will be an essential reference for anyone interested in the
exciting early development of children, with the breadth, depth and
clarity of its coverage."
Judy Dunn, Professor of Developmental Psychology, Institute of
Psychiatry, London
"Kathleen McCartney and Deborah Phillips have recruited many of
the top names in the field of early child development to provide
timely and informative reviews of a very fast-moving field. This
handbook will be obligatory reading for researchers and
practitioners alike. Whether you are looking for a conceptual
framework, the latest empirical findings in key domains such as the
development of cognition, language and emotion, or the implications
for policy, this book should serve as a first point of
reference."
Paul L. Harris, Harvard University
"This book simply redefines "comprehensive"! It is truly
interactive in that it constantly elicits the reader's input by
raising and/or addressing issues that reach far beyond the printed
page."
Toni Brennan, University of Surrey
“The assembling of a large number of qualified experts to
write short, clear summaries of their areas is an impressive
achievement, and the context and policy sections go beyond
expectations … making it valuable even to scholars already
knowledgeable in the field.”
Marie-Pierre M. Gosselin and David R. Foreman, Canadian
Psychology
