Summary

This comprehensive and inviting book strikes an ideal balance between a research-based and an applications-oriented approach to infant development. While Mercer examines the complexities of infant development, her approach is down-to-earth and easy to understand. Her outstanding prose (universally applauded by pre-publication reviewers), coupled with the perspective and style she brings, results in a book that is theoretical and practical at the same time. In an arena where many competing books are written in a dry, esoteric manner, Mercer's approach is fresh and inviting. Engaging, clear, and current, "Infant Development" is the ideal book for future human services practitioners (teachers, nurses, social workers, etc.).
