Editor Feinman writes in his preface: . . . my intention in editing this volume was to reduce the odds that the study of social referencing in infancy would go the way of many other specialized domains of research, becoming ever more arcane and insular, if nonetheless technically proficient and correct. Fifteen contributions discuss research findings, broad implications, and directions. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
