"An up-to-date account of developmental psychology written by two major authorities in the field ... All in all, it is an authoritative and clear treatment of developmental psychology that will appeal to undergraduates who are just beginning to study developmental psychology, as well as those who already have some grounding in the subject." - Dr Gavin Bremner, Lancaster University, UK"Developmental Psychology is an exciting and fast-moving subject, but one that is hard to summarise because it involves such a variety of questions, and hypotheses, and research methods. Yet Margaret Harris and George Butterworth have been completely successful in producing a coherent and wonderfully stimulating account of the subject as a whole. Undergraduate students will learn a great deal from this book, and they will enjoy reading it as well. So will parents, teachers and any one else interested in childhood." - Professor Peter Bryant FRS, Oxford University, UK"A useful developmental textbook ideally pitched at undergraduate level developmental psychology. The writing style is clear and easy to read with the right level of detail when describing influential empirical work." - Dr Alyson Davis, University of Surrey, UK"This is an impressive book. It is a beautifully written, up-to-date, and well balanced account of the development of the child from conception to adolescence." - Dr Alan Slater, University of Exeter, UK
