Julia Carroll, Journal of Child Psychology andPsychiatry, 44:6 "Though the structure of this book is similar to other volumesin the series, I welcome it with even greater enthusiasm than therest. While they all summarise and review the latest scientificresearch in their particular area of child development, research inthe field of infant cognition has, in the last few years,completely overturned all previous conceptions. This volume,therefore, not only summarises and updates the literature in itsfield, but also replaces much of it ... at the moment this bookseries is the cutting edge ... As with other volumes in the series,all libraries serving postgraduate level studies in psychology andrelated disciplines should seriously consider acquisition."Martin Guha, Librarian, Institute of Psychiatry, ReferenceReviews, 17 February 2003 "Summing up: Highly recommended.
