Review ‘In the new (second) edition of Moral development: Theory and Application, Elly Vozzola and Amie Senland take the reader on a sweeping journey through a vast landscape of research, theories, disciplines, and applications related to the formation of human goodness. The scope of this work is truly impressive and often challenges the reader to reconsider much of what we all take for granted; that is, that we know right from wrong. The world would be a far better place if we all thought as deeply about morality and how to nurture it as do these authors.’ - Marvin W. Berkowitz, Sanford N. McDonnell Professor of Character Education, UM System Thomas Jefferson Fellow, Center for Character and Citizenship University of Missouri-St. Louis, MO, USA. 'This book is a must-read for anyone who is in the field of moral development―or who wants to be. Warm, approachable, and yet deeply informative, it occupies a unique niche in the field of morality. Beginning with theory but emphasizing application, grounded in historical context, it provides a good introduction to a field that has a moral imperative to span the gap between theory and practice. Questions at the end of each chapter encourage applying a moral lens to one’s life and are clearly informed by the "just community" method. As one who teaches moral development, who believes that moral education is critical for today’s world and who cares about the next generation, I will be assigning this book.'- Kaye Cook, Professor of Psychology and Department Chair at Gordon College, MA, USA, and former president of the Association for Moral Education (AME).Praise for the first edition:**Awarded 2014 Choice Outstanding Academic Title and 2015 AERA Moral Development/Moral Education SIG Book Award**"This is an excellent resource for those teaching courses in human development, specifically courses needed by individuals seeking licensing and accreditation (e.g., social work, psychology) from licensing boards with de
