A core text for undergraduate courses in Infant Development, Infant Care, and Infancy Intervention; a supplementary text for general courses in Child Development or Child Psychology. Interdisciplinary in perspective and topically organized, this text provides a comprehensive cutting-edge overview of infant growth and development-from conception though the first years of life. It features balanced coverage of theory, research, and practical application, as well as a strong emphasis on the interrelationships between various developmental domains and the importance of the "whole" infant.
