The Sage Handbook of Early Childhood Research

The SAGE Handbook of Early Childhood Research is a major addition to the literature on early childhood. More than an introduction to the field, it offers significant challenges, and progress in thinking, for theory, research, policy and practice and for the relationships between those dimensions. Ann Farrell, Sharon Kagan and Kay Tisdall are extremely well-qualified to oversee such a collection, bringing as they do substantial expertise from three continents. Many of the contributors are equally distinguished and come from all over the world, making this a truly international volume. The focus is equally on majority and minority worlds, and the chapters include leading-edge contributions in fields as diverse as neuroscience and children affected by armed conflict. This book will have an important place on the bookshelves of everyone seriously interested in early childhood research.
