Child Development $78 Child Development brings the research to life through stories. What prompted researcher Virginia Apgar to develop what became the Apgar Test on newborns?

The Collected Works Of W.B. Yeats Volume IX: Early Art: Uncollected Articles And Reviews Written Between 1886 And 1900 $41.09 The Collected Works of W. B. Yeats, Volume IX: Early Articles and Reviews is part of a fourteen-volume series under the general editorship of eminent Yeats scholars Richard J. Finneran and George Mills Harper. This first complete edition includes virtually all of the Nobel laureate’s published work, in authoritative texts with extensive explanatory notes. Coedited by John P. Frayne and Madeleine Marchaterre, Early Articles and Reviews assembles the earliest examples of Yeats’s critical prose, from 1886 to the end of the century — articles and reviews that were not collected into book form by the poet himself. Gathered together now, they show the earliest development of Yeats’s ideas on poetry, the role of literature, Irish literature, the formation of an Irish national theater, and the occult, as well as Yeats’s interaction with his contemporary writers. As seen here, Yeats’s vigorous activity as magazine critic and propagandist for the Irish literary cause belies the popular picture created by his poetry of the "Celtic Twilight" period, that of an idealistic dreamer in flight from the harsh realities of the practical world. This new volume adds four years’ worth of Yeats’s writings not included in a previous (1970) edition of his early articles and reviews. It also greatly expands the background notes and textual notes, bringing this compilation up to date with the busy world of Yeats scholarship over the last three decades. Early Articles and Reviews is an essential sourcebook illuminating Yeat’s reading, his influences, and his literary opinions about other poets and writers. |

The Myth of the First Three Years: A New Understanding of Early Brain Development and $19.99 Most parents today have accepted the message that the first three years of a baby’s life determine whether or not the child will grow into a successful, thinking person. But is this powerful warning true? Do all the doors shut if baby’s brain doesn’t get just the right amount of stimulation during the first three years of life? Have discoveries from the new brain science really proved that parents are wholly responsible for their child’s intellectual successes and failures alike? Are parents losing the "brain wars"? No, argues national expert John Bruer. In The Myth of the First Three Years he offers parents new hope by debunking our most popular beliefs about the all-or-nothing effects of early experience on a child’s brain and development. Challenging the prevailing myth — heralded by the national media, Head Start, and the White House — that the most crucial brain development occurs between birth and age three, Bruer explains why relying on the zero to three standard threatens a child’s mental and emotional well-being far more than missing a few sessions of toddler gymnastics. Too many parents, educators, and government funding agencies, he says, see these years as our main opportunity to shape a child’s future. Bruer agrees that valid scientific studies do support the existence of critical periods in brain development, but he painstakingly shows that these same brain studies prove that learning and cognitive development occur throughout childhood and, indeed, one’s entire life. Making hard science comprehensible for all readers, Bruer marshals the neurological and psychological evidence to show that children and adults have been hardwired for lifelong learning. Parents have been sold a bill of goods that is highly destructive because it overemphasizes infant and toddler nurturing to the detriment of long-term parental and educational responsibilities. The Myth of the First Three Years is a bold and controversial book because it urges parents and decision-makers alike to consider and debate for themselves the evidence for lifelong learning opportunities. But more than anything, this book spreads a message of hope: while there are no quick fixes, conscientious parents and committed educators can make a difference in every child’s life, from infancy through childhood, and beyond. |

Child, Family, and Community: Family-Centered Early Care and Education, Fifth Edition $32.99 The fifth edition of Child, Family, and Community: Family-Centered Early Care and Education includes a number of significant changes, including an altered title and a shift in focus. It is written to the reader directly from the author and discusses socialization and education of young children in home, child care, and educational contexts from birth to 8 years old. The shift in focus (a) puts working with families in early care and education settings in the spotlight as the central theme and includes more strategies and practical advice in every chapter about how early childhood professionals do that, (b) places more emphasis on Bronfenbrenner’s ecological theory of development, explaining the environmental influences on children to help early childhood professionals understand children’s behavior and learning, and (c) extends the age range to alsocover school-age children.As before, the book examines developmental theory and adds diverse perspectives from a base of solid academics, constructivist theory, and the author’s own experience. Students find this text to be very readable and written at an accessible level. |
