Review :
"Dr. Johnson has produced a scientifically impeccable, clearly written discussion of the interaction between environmental and genetic effects over the life span. Anyone interested in development should read her work." - Earl Hunt, Professor Emeritus, University of Washington, USA "Wendy Johnson is to be complimented on this excellent piece of work. It is the long-needed textbook that manages to integrate developmental and differential psychology in a concise, yet comprehensive, way." - Manuel Volkle, Researcher in Lifespan Psychology, Max Planck Institute for Human Development, Germany "How do we develop into unique individuals? Wendy Johnson answers this deceptively simple question by weaving together the theories and research from many disciplines including genetics, human development, neuroscience, sociology, gerontology, and historical context. It is a fascinating overview of the many influences on human development. The text is clear and easy to follow, with new information even for experts in any of the fields that contribute to our understanding of how each of us develops differently." - Diane F. Halpern, McElwee Family Professor of Psychology, Claremont McKenna College, USA
