The Encyclopedia of Infant and Early Childhood Development is
the first research-based interdisciplinary multi-volume reference
work to encompass all aspects of early development. The contents
encompass psychology, biology, genetics, immunology, and medicine
to discuss all aspects of development. Two stellar figures in infant
and childhood development have joined forces with a prominent board
and world class authors to compile over 150 signed articles in
three volumes. Discussing development from pre-birth through
age three, the primary focus is on healthy development, but with
coverage of common problems and disorders. Each article contains
an overview, glossary of unusual terms defined, body of the content,
suggested additional readings, and cross-references to other related
encyclopedia articles.
