| Summary: | The aim of this volume is to bring together the research and thinking of . . . scholars whose work intersects with that of [a] behavioral scientist in the field of human development: Urie Bronfenbrenner. His theoretical paradigm, the ecology of human development, has transformed the way many social and behavioral scientists approach, think about, and study human beings and their environments. Bronfenbrenner's ecological model requires behavior and development to be examined as a joint function of the characteristics of the person and of the environment. This book will serve a variety of readerships: students who seek an introduction to the ecological and life course theoretical approaches; established scholars who want an overview of advances in the field; [and] researchers who are interested in multilevel, multidimensional approaches to human development.
