Infants and Children
Prenatal Through Middle Childhood

Ninth Edition


June 2022 | 656 pages | SAGE Publications, Inc
A best-selling, chronologically organized child development text, Laura E. Berk's Infants and Children: Prenatal Through Middle Childhood, Ninth Edition is relied on in classrooms worldwide for its clear, engaging writing style, exceptional multicultural and cross-cultural focus, first-rate coverage of developmental neuroscience, rich examples, and long-standing commitment to presenting the most up-to-date scholarship. Renowned professor, researcher, and author Laura E. Berk takes an integrated approach to presenting development in the physical, cognitive, emotional, and social domains, emphasizing the complex interchanges between heredity and environment and offering research-based, practical applications that students can relate to their personal and professional lives. The Ninth Edition's extensive revision strengthens the connections among developmental domains and brings forth the most recent scholarship, representing the changing field of child development.

Infants and Children: Prenatal Through Middle Childhood, Ninth Edition is a briefer version of Infants, Children, and Adolescents, Ninth Edition offering the first 13 chapters for child development courses that do not cover adolescence.
