First published in 1946, and now in its Seventh Edition, the \u003ci\u003eHandbook\u003c\/i\u003e has long been considered the definitive guide to the field of developmental science.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eVolume 4: Ecological Settings and Processes in Developmental Systems\u003c\/i\u003e is centrally concerned with the people, conditions, and events outside individuals that affect children and their development. To understand children's development it is both necessary and desirable to embrace all of these social and physical contexts. Guided by the relational developmental systems metatheory, the chapters in the volume are ordered them in a manner that begins with the near proximal contexts in which children find themselves and moving through to distal contexts that influence children in equally compelling, if less immediately manifest, ways. The volume emphasizes that the child's environment is complex, multi-dimensional, and structurally organized into interlinked contexts; children actively contribute to their development; the child and the environment are inextricably linked, and contributions of both child and environment are essential to explain or understand development.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eUnderstand the role of parents, other family members, peers, and other adults (teachers, coaches, mentors) in a child's development\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDiscover the key neighborhood\/community and institutional settings of human development\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExamine the role of activities, work, and media in child and adolescent development\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn about the role of medicine, law, government, war and disaster, culture, and history in contributing to the processes of human development\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe scholarship within this volume and, as well, across the four volumes of this edition, illustrate that developmental science is in the midst of a very exciting period.
