"In this volume the editor, Janette E. Benson, has brought together three different examples of scientific advance. Four of the chapters provide innovative technologies, novel data, and fresh conceptualizations. An additional two chapters afford fresh methodologies and data that - contrary to their authors’ intent - support well accepted theoretical formulations. The remaining two chapters, while providing interesting methodologies and data, use these to support questionable - and in one case potentially harmful conceptual formulations.Overall, I believe Jensen has provided a very accurate, informative, and helpful overview of contemporary research in child development and behavior." --PsyCritiques Volume 62, Issue 39
