Brooks, College of Staten Island, CUNY • Vera Kempe, University of Abertay Dundee, UK The progression from newborn to sophisticated language user in just a few short years is often described as wonderful and miraculous. What are the biological, cognitive, and social underpinnings of this miracle? What major language development milestones occur in infancy? What methodologies do researchers employ in studying this progression? Why do some become adept at multiple languages while others face a lifelong struggle with just one? What accounts for declines in language profi ciency, and how might such declines be moderated? Despite an abundance of textbooks, specialized monographs, and a couple of academic handbooks, there has been no encyclopedic reference work in this area--until now. Encyclopedia of language Development covers the breadth of theory and research on language development from birth through adulthood, as well as their practical application. hArdcover: $195.00 • ISbn: 978-1-4522-5876-8 • mAy 2014 • 824 PAgeS • dISAbIlIty through the lIfe courSe Tamar Heller, University of Illinois at Chicago • Sarah Parker Harris, University of Illinois at Chicago This volume in The SAgE reference Series on Disability explores issues involving disability through the life courses, and is one of eight volumes in the cross-disciplinary and issues-based series, which examines topics central to the lives of individuals with disabilities and their families. With a balance of history, theory, research, and application, specialists set out the fi ndings and implications of research and practice for others whose current or future work involves the care and/or study of those with disabilities, as well as for the disabled themselves. The presentational style (concise and engaging) emphasizes accessibility. Taken individually, each volume sets out the fundamentals of the topic it addresses, accompanied by compiled data and statistics, recommended further readings, a guide to organizations and associations, and other annotated resources, thus providing the ideal introductory platform and gateway for further study. Taken together, the series represents both a survey of major disability issues and a guide to new directions and trends and contemporary resources in the fi eld as a whole. hArdcover: $85.00 • ISbn: 978-1-4129-8767-7 • ©2012 • 320 PAgeS • the handBook of theorieS of Social PSychology: Volumes One and Two Paul A.
