Reviews

'The profound and lasting impact of Jay Belsky's work on developmental psychology is reflected in the chapters in this volume. Belsky's pioneering research on the determinants of parenting, evolutionary developmental psychology, child maltreatment, attachment, and differential susceptibility to environmental influences, among other topics, continues to guide contemporary research and theory.' David F. Bjorklund, Professor of Psychology, Florida Atlantic University 'Kanazawa has assembled an all-star cast of scientists to celebrate the past and continuing contributions of one of psychology's mavericks, Jay Belsky. Jay is one of the pioneers in the integration of psychological models of early development with evolutionary principles and this is a fitting tribute to his many contributions.' David C. Geary, Curators' Distinguished Professor, University of Missouri 'This is a wonderful book, containing chapters written by leaders in developmental psychology and psychopathology, highlighting the amazing richness, scope, and depth of Jay Belsky's groundbreaking contributions, while illustrating how powerfully and broadly his work has inspired and transformed our thinking about development. A remarkable volume - a fitting tribute to a remarkable career!' Grazyna Kochanska, Dewey B. Stuit Professor, University of Iowa 'The breadth of chapters is impressive, written by leading figures, covering diverse topics such as childcare, child maltreatment, attachment, differential susceptibility, evolutionary perspectives in developmental sciences (to name but a few). The volume provides evidence for a groundbreaking scientific legacy, with so many implications. This is a book that every student and researcher must read, and it will become a classic.' Abraham (Avi) Sagi-Schwartz, Emeritus Professor of Psychology, University of Haifa and Tel Hai College, Israel
