From the Back Cover
How much control does a mother have on the prenatal development of her child? What are some important stimuli which can influence the development of a newborn baby? What are the key markers of cognitive, emotional, and social development in toddlers and children? In this abridged version of Infants, Children, and Adolescents, Third Edition, Laura Berk, renowned professor, researcher and authority in the field of child development, provides a heightened emphasis on the critical interplay between biology and environment in child development from the prenatal through the middle childhood years. As in the main edition, Berk presents for each section a "cast of characters" based on real children and families, artfully using these characters and their "stories" to illustrate the sequence and processes of child development. Containing the complete Chapters 1-13 of the full-length book, this concise resource is enhanced by Berk's trademark scholarship and accessible writing style. Psychologists, child care workers, educators, and parents.
