Description
This book breaks new ground by integrating dynamic systems concepts with a contextual behavioral view of development. The two make a dramatically good fit and something new emerges from the combination: a behavioral systems approach to development. With its consistent, natural science, non-linear, contextual orientation, Novak has fashioned an undergraduate text that will have broad appeal for courses in developmental psychology.
