Child Development is not simple
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
It never fails to amaze me when people complain about books being "too technical". As an "Almost" PhD, I can say that Michael Cole is brilliant. The readings push the mind as to the true "WHY" questions about a human child's development. Furthermore, the description clearly states this is a text for graduate level students. Ahem, readers. Guess what? That means Masters Degrees and above. This text was not intended for an entry level child development class. Finally, if you expect child and human development to be an easy, by the numbers discipline, think again. This is not about naming Piagetian stages and developmental timelines. This is about thinking about why humans have developed, and continue to develop, the way they currently do. If that is too big an endeavor with which to commit your mind, Please. Get a different career. I beg you.

Excellent supplement to an outstanding text.

Gauvain and Cole's "Readings on the Development of Children-3d Edition" is an excellent supplement to an outstanding text. Where so many "workbook" type supplements are little more than an encapsulation of material already covered in the main text, "Readings..." is a collection of classic and contemporary articles that provides an excellent springboard for discussion in graduate level seminars. I especially like the fact that each reading is followed by discussion questions that encourage studentts to think more broadly about key concepts.
