"Infancy" provides students with enough detail, without overwhelming them, in order to understand methodological issues, explore both practically and theoretically important topics, and engage students in thinking critically about development from birth to age 3.. Students understand the role of infant development research and how they may apply it to their own lives as well as the broader implications upon public policies. Students also understand the relevant historical information in many of the chapters to provide a broader perspective and highlight how far we've come in our understanding of the first 3 years of life. Issues of diversity and multicultural experience are also incorporated into virtually every chapter, illustrating how nature and nurture work together.
