Beschreibung:

This shortened paperbound version of Infants, Children, and Adolescents, Fifth Edition, covers the prenatal through middle childhood years (through to age 10).rnContaining the complete chapters 1-13 of Laura Berk's full-length text, Infants and Children brings Berk's trademark scholarship and readability to the subject of chronological child development.rnWith a heightened emphasis on the interplay between biology and environment, and a stronger focus on education and social policy, Berk pays meticulous attention to the most recent scholarship in the field.rnCreating stronger connections between domains of development, Berk has expanded her coverage of culture, enhanced attention to emotional development, and updated cognitive, biological, and social development.rnIn her signature storytelling style, Berk creates a “cast of characters” for each unit based on real children and families, artfully using their “stories” to illustrate the sequence and processes of child development and applications of theory and research.
