Piaget Sampler: An Introduction to Jean Piaget Through His Own Words

This is a SOFTCOVER book. ~ Here is the first anthology to introduce readers to Piaget's theories and experiments through his own writings. The editor's introduction links these writings into a coherent framework that answers such questions as: Who is Piaget? What is the nature of intelligence? What is childlike about children? This unique sampler features rarely anthologized articles, and includes several excerpts appearing for the first time in English. It covers the development of Piaget's cognitive theories over a fifty-year period, clarifying many basic but little-understood aspects of his thought. The logical organization, breadth of coverage, and editorial comment make it a unified introduction ... and Piaget's own words make it authoritative.
