This is the first time I use Vasta' book on Child Psychology for the course on Developmental Psychology I give at the American University of Beirut. The semester just finished, and I can say this book was extremely enriching for me (I am a clinical psychologist), especially the parts on the bio-ecological perspective, and the sections on cross-cultural research. The one part I found a bit "exhausting" was the chapter on language development, perhaps because it is not my specialty ! I am looking forward to the 4th edition. I would also very much like to be in touch with Dr Vasta because I am currently working on a study of Personality Characteristics of First - Borns in Lebanon, using a cultural approach. I also wish to thank Wiley for sending me the 2004 catalogue of Psychology, Life and Medical Sciences Student Texts (that is how I found out about Vasta's 4th edition). My students (a majority of Psychology majors) also enjoyed his book.

I utilized the second edition of this book while studying under Dr. Vasta at SUNY Brockport. This book, along with his teachings gives insight into the various steps that a child goes through in becoming aware of his or her surroundings and growth.

Being a new parent this book helped me to understand the development of my daughter. It covered conception all the way through 12 years of age.I found this book very interesting to read. I liked how each of the early psychologist works were clearly defined and explained to you. I felt this book was very easy to read and understand.
