Developmental Science: An Advanced Textbook is the most complete and up-to-date advanced introduction to the field available today. Since its initial publication, the key purpose of this advanced textbook has been to furnish inclusive developmental perspectives on all theoretical, methodological, and substantive areas in developmental science. This eighth edition is no exception, as it continues to underscore the dynamic and exciting status of contemporary developmental science.
In this eighth edition, Marc H. Bornstein and Michael E. Lamb have invited international experts to prepare original, comprehensive, and topical treatments of all major areas of developmental science; they are masterfully woven into a single coherent volume. The substantive chapters cover essentials of their main topics, with close attention paid to cultural, lifespan, and applied perspectives. Many chapters in this eighth edition are new, and those carried forward from the seventh edition have been extensively revised. This volume therefore represents faithfully the current status of scholarly efforts in all aspects of developmental science.
Ideal for advanced undergraduate and introductory graduate courses, this advanced textbook is accompanied by two sets of supplementary materials: pedagogy files for students include chapter outlines, things to think about before reading the chapters, glossaries, and suggested readings; and ancillary files for instructors include a PowerPoint deck of tables and figures, classroom assignments, essay questions, multiple-choice questions, and short-answer questions.
Marc H. Bornstein holds positions in the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, the Institute for Fiscal Studies, and UNICEF.
Michael E. Lamb is Professor of Psychology at the University of Cambridge.
