To understand the way children develop, Bronfenbrenner believes that it is necessary to observe their behavior in natural settings, while they are interacting with familiar adults over prolonged periods of time. His book offers an important blueprint for constructing a new and ecologically valid psychology of development.

Americas

Free Press

Numerous pundits and, no doubt, countless private citizens, have expressed concern about the direction in which America is headed. Economists target a declining GNP, while cultural critics complain about America's supposed spiritual crisis. Still others despair over the poor state of America's educational system. Are we headed down a path of serious decline?Hailed by bestselling author William J. Bennett as a thoughtful, compelling piece of work and a great read, The State of Americans is the first book to present a comprehensive overview of American social trends by linking together a wide range of social and economic conditions. Its authors argue that it is impossible to determine where America is headed unless we consider such factors as family structure and social attitudes, and also how these important factors influence one another. It is only through our understanding of these interrelationships that we can determine whether the nation is prospering or declining -- and what the future holds for the next generation.

Para comprender como se desarrollan los niños, Bronfenbrenner cree que es necesario observar su conducta en entornos naturales, mientras interactúan con adultos que les son familiares, durante un tiempo prolongado. Su libro ofrece un esquema importante para construir una psicología del desarrollo no sólo renovadora, sino también ecológicamente válida. La intención de la obra es ofrecer una nueva perspectiva teórica para la investigación en el desarrollo humano, pero no lo hace de una manera oscura o complicada, sino a través de un lenguaje y un estilo accesibles a cualquier tipo de lector. En este sentido, se trata de una síntesis única, una perspectiva acerca del desarrollo humano que ofrece las más estimulantes posibilidades. Es un libro útil y práctico que transmite con maestría el misterio y la emoción de la investigación científica. Y, por si fuera poco, también posee una vertiente práctica: la posibilidad de llevar a cabo una política más razonable acerca de la institución familiar. De esta manera, la ecología del desarrollo humano señala la dirección correcta para orientar la investigación y, a la vez, para orientar la acción social.
