The Editors set out to capture emerging trends in the field and the results are encouraging: promising new developments in our understanding of social development are described, and ideas for new research are explicitly set out. The strengths of the first edition remain: the clarity of the text and the thoroughness of the coverage. It is undoubtedly an exceptional advanced book which will be very widely used and appreciated.

This handbook is a landmark achievement. It is an indispensible guide to the new theory and research on social development, and the chapters provide insights into practical applications for schools and society. It is destined to become an “instant classic” — the authoritative reference book on child social development.
