Book excerpt: "Streamlined and thoroughly updated, this carefully selected collection of classic and contemporary articles is ideal for use as a supplement in undergraduate developmental psychology courses. The collection features 37 primary sourced articles, 21 of them new to the fourth edition. Written by respected scholars in the field, they constitute a representative survey of the prominent issues in the study of child development today. Each reading is proceeded by a headnote that provides a context for understanding and is followed by new discussion questions that encourage students to think more broadly about key concepts.
