This title launches the new Macmillan Psychology Reference Series. The volume has an alphabetical arrangement that includes four types of entries: overview articles of 3,000 words that serve as an in-depth look at specific topics (Cognitive development, Heredity versus environment, Parenting ); introductions to important topics of about 1,500 words each (Autism, Domestic violence, Resiliency); definitions of 150 words or so of terms that should be familiar to most people interested in child development (Cliques, Developmental norms, Standardized testing ); and biographies of around 400 words of leading people in child development (Apgar, Virginia; Ginott, Haim; Spock, Benjamin ). There are 289 articles in all.
The intended audience is described as "anyone who wants to know more about the field of child development," and the volume does a good job of having something for most reader groups. Each entry has a bibliography of items for further reading that are current and often include Web sites. The volume concludes with two appendixes: one containing a variety of statistical tables and a second with a list of Web resources. The index that follows the appendixes seems accurate and easy to use; main article page numbers are in bold type for ease of recognition, and table page numbers are in italics.
The nearest competitor would be The Gale Encyclopedia of Childhood and Adolescence (Gale, 1998), but the Macmillan volume is more focused on young children and contains more up-to-date Internet information. In general the two titles complement each other, and larger collections should have both. Child Development is a welcome addition to general information in this field and highly recommended for public and undergraduate libraries.
