About the Series

This series presents high-quality scholarship in a format that makes each book useful in a wide variety of situations. For example, books in the series may serve as:

  • solid introductions to particular topics for professionals in other sub-disciplines;
  • texts for adoption for upper-level courses (e.g., senior seminars or graduate courses) or supplemental use in mid-level courses (e.g., cognitive development courses); and/or
  • engaging overviews of cognitive developmental theory and research for a more general audience of educated nonspecialists.

In addition to making an indispensable scholarly contribution to the literature, each book is broadly accessible and widely marketed. Given these goals, there are no specific constraints on the type of book to be published in the series, although in most cases authored books will be more likely to serve these purposes than edited volumes. Proposals submitted for consideration will be carefully reviewed, and those accepted for inclusion in the series will receive editorial development as befits a first-class outlet for publication of scholarly texts.
