Children and Their Development (6th Edition)

Children and Their Development, 6e demonstrates how research translates into practice.

 Written by a well-known and respected researcher in the field of child development, this topically organized text uses unique and effective pedagogy as its main framework.

Writing about humour can be a strange and somewhat disorientating business. Humour is glued into social, cultural and even national contexts, so writing a monograph which hopefully draws an international readership forces one to tread a fine line when “unpacking” humour texts; a fine line that is between, on the one hand, stating the obvious in the explication of humorous material,or, on the other, risking losing readers because the topically and culturally situated references within those texts have not been made sufficiently transparent.
