Malcolm Hughes – författare

The second edition of Child Development: Theory and Practice 0-11 has been fully revised and updated while retaining the authoritative, accessible and well structured writing style that proved popular in the first edition.  The text is infused with the authors’ passion and enthusiasm for the subject and their anecdotes provide engaging real-life examples of child development in practice.

Adolescence and Emerging Adulthood is an innovative and exciting European adaptation of Jeffrey Arnett’s hugely successful and groundbreaking US text of the same title. The book combines the most significant approaches and ideas in developmental, social and behavioural psychology to produce a comprehensive picture of what it means to experience adolescence today.

Drawing upon European research, data and examples, the text takes a fresh approach to understanding adolescent development from a broad range of perspectives including:

a focus on the cultural basis of development consideration of the concept of ‘emerging adulthood’ an emphasis on the historical context of adolescence  an interdisciplinary approach to theory and research

Packed full of illustrations and features including a focus on youth in the media, professional practice and thinking critically, this is an essential resource for anyone studying or working in the field of childhood, youth and adolescence.

This new edition of the European adaptation of Anita Woolfolk's market-leading US text, Educational Psychology, is essential reading for anyone studying or interested in education and learning from a psychology perspective. The second edition includes new work in the areas of Assessment for Learning and Attachment Theory, as well as reflecting recent changes in Special Educational Needs provision. The text shows how information and ideas drawn from cutting-edge research in educational psychology can be applied to solve the everyday problems of teaching and child development. 'This wide-ranging and theoretically grounded text is set to become a classic in the psychology of education.' Alec Webster, Emeritus Professor of Educational Psychology, University of Bristol 'This is an exceptionally strong book that explains the psychology in education in a clear and vivid way. I also appreciated the European approach of the book...I would certainly recommend educators to use this book.'
