"I love this book! The editors have put together a practical and lively account of how research can be applied to policy and practice. Besides providing much-needed advice on conducting applied research, authors provide narratives of their own journeys in the study of and intervention with children and youth." - Jeanne Brooks-Gunn, Columbia University, USA "This book is a much needed guide to doing applied research on human development. It provides excellent personal examples of how basic researchers have expanded into applied areas and excellent advice on how to conduct the very best applied research." - Jacque Eccles, University of Michigan, USA "The content is exactly [what] our graduate students need and want.... The [book is] very relevant, given the current interest of funding agencies on translational research and the growth of graduate programs in applied developmental science.... a good resource for young researchers [and] students developing their ideas for their masters theses.... I would purchase this book myself and recommend it to colleagues and students in our applied developmental psychology program... it promises to make a significant contribution to the field." - Linda Baker, University of Maryland, USA "Given the increasing encouragement towards applied, translational science, a book of this type that could serve both a graduate community and basic researchers would be welcome. ... I can see this text being used in several research design or substantive research courses. A strength of this book is the solid treatment of how and why particular research techniques and methods may (or must) be modified in applied settings." - Scott M. Hofer, University of Victoria, Canada "The book addresses an important issue in the field, how to translate scientific findings into practical applications by focusing on the skills and experiences of applied researchers. The quality of the scholars contributing to the volume is excellent. I like the case studies and inclusion of practical information." - Natasha J. Cabrera, University of Maryland, USA
