"This landmark publication singularly crystallizes and advances understanding of the nature and importance of the cultural bases of human development. The Handbook will provide the theoretical and empirical foundation for scientific progress for decades to come." - Richard M. Lerner, Bergstrom Chair in Applied Developmental Science, Tufts University"Moving far beyond the usual restricted range of who is studied by whom, Bornstein elegantly brings together leading scholars from around the world to examine the varieties of ways in which culture prescribes and proscribes childhood experiences." - Carola Suárez-Orozco, New York University"Bornstein’s Handbook is an exciting and far-sighted overview of the most challenging area of developmental science -- the formation of human mind in the variety of cultural milieux. An excellent selection of pioneers and cutting edge researchers makes this handbook an essential guide." - Hiroshi Azuma, Professor Emeritus, Tokyo University"[In] this handbook … leading scholars take the reader to new horizons by travelling around the world to explore undiscovered areas of developmental science. Instructors and researchers alike will find an authoritative, informative, and invaluable volume for teaching and studying cross-cultural psychology and human development. Bornstein is the 2009 recipient of the Society for Research in Child Development Distinguished Award to International Contributions to Child Development. This new book confirms that recognition. " - Abraham (Avi) Sagi-Schwartz, University of Haifa"The Handbook … is a sure-fire antidote to parochialism and ethnocentrism in developmental psychology. This innovative volume … invites you to pick up and spin a multicultural globe so as to broaden and deepen your understanding of similarities and differences in childhood on a world-wide scale." - Richard A. Shweder, University of Chicago
