Summary

Laura Berk, renowned professor and researcher in the field of child development, has updated her successful chronological text with heightened attention to the relationship between theory, research, and applications. In her signature storytelling style, Berk presents a “cast of characters” based on real children and families for each unit, and actually uses these characters, by telling their “stories,” to illustrate the sequence and processes of child development.
