A 'Must' for Family Researchers
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
Bronfenbrenner is a must for family researchers to define the variables of human development from the individual to the community and world surrounding them. A highly recommended theory for social/family researchers.
Bronfenbrenner at his best.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 17 years ago
I have been in search of this book at an affordable price for many years. Bronfenbrenner's 'ecological systems' model is a brilliant framework through which to look at inextricable factors present in the individual's developmental environment.

A collector's book, excellent price, condition and value Judith Hudson Wales. UK
