Shweder. Each entry provides a concise and accessible synopsis of the topic at hand. For example, the entry Adoption begins with a general definition, followed by a detailed look at adoption in different cultures and at different times, a summary of the associated mental and developmental issues that can arise, and an overview of applicable legal and public policy.While presenting certain universal facts about childrens development from birth through adolescence, the entries also address the many worlds of childhood both within the United States and around the globe. They consider the ways that in which race, ethnicity, gender, socioeconomic status, and cultural traditions of child rearing can affect childrens experiences of physical and mental health, education, and family. Alongside the topical entries, The Child includes more than forty Imagining Each Other essays, which focus on the particular experiences of children in different cultures. In Work before Play for Yucatec Maya Children, for example, readers learn of the work responsibilities of some modernday Mexican children, while in A Hindu Brahman Boy Is Born Again, they witness a comingofage ritual in contemporary India.Compiled by some of the most distinguished child development researchers in the world, The Child will broaden the current scope of knowledge on children and childhood. It is an unparalleled resource for parents, social workers, researchers, educators, and others who work with children.
