Product Description
Berk’s signature storytelling style invites students to actively learn beside the text’s “characters” who share their influential experiences and developmental milestones. Students are provided with an exceptionally clear and coherent understanding of child development, emphasizing the interrelatedness of all domains—physical, cognitive, emotional, and social—throughout the text narrative and in special features. Focusing on education and social policy as critical pieces of the dynamic system in which the child develops, Berk pays meticulous attention to the most recent scholarship in the field. Berk helps students connect their learning to their personal and professional areas of interest and their future pursuits as parents, educators, heath care providers, social workers, and researchers. Theory and Research in Child Development, Foundations of Development, Infancy and Toddlerhood: the First Two years, Early Childhood: Two to Six Years, Middle Childhood: Six to Eleven Years. Child Development

A Diamond Second Bester...But By A Micro Eyelash August 9, 2006 Reginald Williams (Orangeburg, SC United States) 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
From my experience, no other book--at this time--can upend Gonzalez-Mena's INFANTS, TODDLERS, AND CAREGIVERS. In it's seventh edition, it stands as the most near perfect infant/toddler textbook ever created.
Now...Berk's book is probably the best "second-best" textbook that I have found.
She goes from history/theory to basic foundations to each era of children from birth to Age 11. The book is filled with color pictures and color charts along with plenty of special interest sidebar accounts on subjects like the negative side of extended infant child care.
So why is it the second best? It just doesn't cover infants and toddlers exclusively. Instead, it exists as a superbly written book on early childhood growth and development...which isn't such a bad thing.
Check it out if you either can't get Gonzalez-Mena's book or if you just want a second opinion on infant/toddler concepts.
fascinating August 6, 2007 E. Teich (New York City) I loved this textbook. I read it for an Infant & Child Development class and found it interesting, clear and helpful. Anyone interested in childhood development should definitely read this book!
Educational February 15, 2009 DJ Psolyx (New York) This book is really good for anyone pursuing a career in child psychology. I took a child psychology class in college and this book helped me ace all my exams. The sixth edition is the latest edition as of (2008) with a little extra information added and some old information corrected.
