"Johnson and de Haan continue to provide an excellent overview of a vast and fast moving field. The new method for imaging the human brain while at rest provides support for the interactive specialization framework that organizes the research reported in this new edition." Michael Posner, Professor Emeritus, Department of Psychology and Institute of Neuroscience, University of Oregon "Johnson and de Haan have done an incredible service to the field with this important book. It's a must for experts and students alike. It is extremely thorough and well-written, covering an interdisciplinary field in a way that is both informative and exciting." Dima Amso, Associate Professor, Department of Cognitive, Linguistic, and Psychological Sciences, Brown University "A tour de force for those interested in the intersection of brain and cognitive development; beautifully written, thoroughly researched and highly accessible. This landmark book should be required reading for anyone interested in the intersection of brain, development and cognition." Charles A. Nelson III, Professor of Pediatrics and Neuroscience, Harvard Medical School, Harvard Graduate School of Education and Boston Children's Hospital
