Review :
"Well-Written and concepts are well explained. Cultural Approach is evident throughout." -Dr Wallace Smith, Union County College "The writing style is engaging, especially in the opening stories and all concepts are clearly explained." -Colleen Fawcett, Palm Beach State College "The writing style is engaging. It is straightforward, factual and descriptive without being overwhelming in the volume of concepts trying to be addressed. Sections connect to each other, using supporting features to link one to another. The author has gone out of the way to indicate where related concepts were discussed in previous chapters." -Carrie Dale, Eastern Illinois University "Child Development: A Cultural Approach (chapter 7 only) provides the student with an overview of the development of children in middle childhood while comparing the development to children from other cultures and countries. The text is easy to read, making it easy for students to stay engaged and understand the content." -April Grace, Madisonville Community Colege "I would seriously consider this book for my developmental psychology course which has as its focus birth through adolescence. This book appears to provide the element of culture which is absent from other text books." -Randolph Manning, Suffolk County Community College
