The second edition of \u003ci\u003eInfancy\u003c\/i\u003e is to be highly recommended. It is as valuable to the advanced undergraduate or postgraduate student - representing an important reference to, and exposition of, a wealth of current studies - as it is to the simply curious. It is a skilfully crafted work that is sure to stimulate innovative thinking, and kindle (or rekindle) the embers of enthusiasm in beginning and veteran researchers alike. Importantly, throughout its pages, there permeates a sense of urgency and excitement that reflects the rapid rate at which research in the field is progressing - a rate that must have Dr Bremner already scribbling notes for a third edition.\" \u003ci\u003ePhilip Hodgson, British Journal of Developmental Psychology\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c!--end--\u003e \u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom reviews of the first edition\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e‘One of the best introductory treatments of this topic of which I know.
