This comprehensive and exciting book strikes an ideal balance between a research-based and an applications-oriented approach to infant development. Down-to-earth and easy and to understand withough being simplistic, Mercer's book offers a timely examination of the complexities of infant development, including cultural and gender issues. Infants can be enormously vulnerable, but at the same time can show great resilience. Their memories are short, but they are constantly learning attitudes and values that will be with them throughout their lives. Mercer addresses these paradoxes and many others, showing the beginning student that while infat development is complex, a real understanding can be reached with patient reading, observation, and discussion. Well-thought-out problems and real-life examples bring infant development into the students' realm of experience. In a field where there a few simple questions and no simple answers, Mercer's book "offers breadth and scope of information which human service professionals should have" (Dana Davidson, University of Hawaii).
