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.

Jonathan Doherty was at Leeds Met when he first started work on the text, but is currently working for the National Strategies.

Mal Hughes is also co-author of our Woolfolk adaptation and the adapting author of Arnett 'Adolescence'. He is currently at UWE.
