This volume looks at the study of successful pathways through middle childhood. The chapters look at how diverse environmental contexts (economic,culture,history, politics) influence child and family development.
"This book is a good read for teachers, administrators, and lay persons alike. The beauty of the collection of chapters in this book is that there is recognition of the fact that children are change agents and that they do shape their educational settings in very subtle ways...'Developmental Pathways' is a good discussion text for the university classroom..."-PsycCRITIQUES, December 6, 2006, Vol. 51, No. 49
