'The names of Robins and Rutter must rank as two of the most influential in this area, so I turned to this book with keen anticipation. Many of the chapters are of a very high standard and the material as a whole provides a remarkable summary of the hopes, achievements and the failures of those who have devoted many years of their professional lives to studying the pathways of human development ... This book ... represents an in-depth progress report in a field of research having implications for many branches of psychology. It is challenging and stimulating, raising such fundamental questions to do with psychopathology and human experience that, in spite of its rather unprepossessing format, it has to be acknowledged as a key text in the field.' The Psychologist

'Robins and Rutter, the giants of long-term studies of children, have joined together to glean the latest findings on the pathways from child to adult psychiatric and behavioural disorders. Having the celebrities of the field edit a volume has several advantages. The most obvious it that they have been able to select from among the best work from leading authorities ... [who] show that their celebrity status is well earned. They are methodologically sophisticated and well aware of the pitfalls of longitudinal studies of children, namely, that the children, the investigators, and/or the funding may disappear over long periods of time. Perhaps more importantly, they are not ideologically bound to any one concept or etiology.' American Journal of Psychiatry

'These are exciting times for the field of developemental psychopathology, and these are exciting books [Straight and Devious Pathways from Childhood to Adulthood and The Emergence of a Discipline] for the student and professional with such interests. Actually, they are exciting books for all mental health professionals and students whether they work primarily with children, adolescents, or adults. The perspective contained in these volumes will enrich our understanding of adult pathologies as well as those occuring in children and adolescents.' Contemporary Psychology

We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
