The Macmillan Psychology Reference Series is an on-going collec-
tion of single-volume overviews of the disciplines of psychology.
Each volume in the series presents prehensive and accessible
snapshot of a psychology field for general readers, high school sen-
iors, and college freshmen. Child Development (2001), the first vol-
ume in the series, examines the contemporary issues in the field of
child and adolescent development. Each work will feature the latest
research in the field along with numerous real-world applications
and examples.
