For the past forty years, the ideas and findings of George Mandler
-- and George Mandler himself -- have been highly influential
throughout the field of experimental psychology. Not only has he
helped to advance the study of cognition and emotion in many ways,
but he also offered assistance and encouragement to numerous young
researchers who may expand on the knowledge acquired thus far. The
editors of this festschrift feel that one of the greatest strengths
of Mandler's work is the blend of European theorizing and American
empiricism. This volume contains contributions from friends and
colleagues who have been influenced in one way or another by this
accomplished psychologist.
Originally published in 1979, this volume represented a unique
attempt to connect the usually separated fields of infancy studies
and studies of older children. In each chapter, eminent research
workers attempt to cross the theoretical, empirical, and
methodological barriers that had traditionally separated the study
of preverbal infants from the study of verbal children and adults
at the time. These completely new and original contributions traced
the developmental links between birth and conversation within three
major categories: perceptual, cognitive, and language development.
Although the chapters range from reports of well-defined research
areas to theoretical propositions, the aim throughout was to relate
the events of the first year of life to the child's later
perceptual and cognitive activity. This book will still be of
interest for all concerned with child development and related
areas, in that it demonstrates the remarkable range of observations
about infants brought under a single guiding set of questions about
continuity, stability, and the sources of change during and after
the first year of life.

This perceptive volume gives a detailed account of Chinese children
at home and at school. Recently, thirteen American experts in child
development visited China under the sponsorship of the Committee on
Scholarly Communication with the People's Republic of China
(supported by the National Academy of Sciences, the Social Science
Research Council, and the American Council of Learned Societies).
They observed and interviewed children, teachers, educational
administrators, and parents in twenty-eight schools throughout
China. William Kessen, chairman of the delegation, has organized
the notes and reports into one cohesive account. This comprehensive
volume establishes a foundation on which future research about
children in contemporary China can be built. The book traces the
development of children in the family, in nurseries, in
kindergartens, in primary schools, and in middle schools. The
authors report their observations on formal curriculum, social and
personality development, teaching practices, and on patterns of the
child's interactions with peers and adults. The mosaic that emerges
from this book is filled with the kind of detail that only people
who are trained in observing children can offer. The contributors
are successful in understanding and communicating what it must be
like to be a child growing up in the People's Republic of China.
