The Blackwell Reader in Developmental Psychology Reviews

"This is the book of readings in psychology that instructors have been looking for. Slater and Muir have assembled a set of influential and interesting articles. It is a beautifully organized reader that will be a terrific resource for all courses in developmental psychology." Professor Andrew Meltzoff, University of Washington "...gives students insights beyond what is normally presented in developmental texts...In a task that is daunting just for the sheer number of articles published, they have chosen an array that both captures the diversity of research done in the field and conveys the excitement of those who conduct this research."
