Reviews

'The approach is very original, given that the authors tell their own stories. This perspective is an excellent way to expose students to the scientific process.' - Jacqueline V. Lerner, Boston College; 'This is an interesting and original book, which brings research and research endeavor alive for students.' - Nancy Eisenberg, Arizona State University; 'I could not stop reading this fascinating collection. In this book, some of the most influential figures in the field of developmental science have written their own personal stories of scientific discovery. The exceptionally well-written essays provide a detailed, but accessible (actually engrossing) examination of many of the most important discoveries, methods, and constructs that guide developmental theory and research today. This book is a must read for infancy researchers, from seasoned academics to upper level undergraduates.' - Janet F. Werker, University of British Columbia
