Rezensionen

"This revised edition of Infancy retains the overallstructure of the first edition which, along with Bremner's clarityof exposition, gives the book its immense appeal ... The secondedition of Infancy is to be highly recommended. It is asvaluable to the advanced undergraduate or postgraduate student -representing an important reference to, and exposition of, a wealthof current studies - as it is to the simply curious. It is askilfully crafted work that is sure to stimulate innovativethinking, and kindle (or rekindle) the embers of enthusiasm inbeginning and veteran researchers alike. Importantly, throughoutits pages, there permeates a sense of urgency and excitement thatreflects the rapid rate at which research in the field isprogressing - a rate that must have Dr Bremner already scribblingnotes for a third edition." Philip Hodgson, British Journal ofDevelopmental Psychology
