Human Development and Learning by Hugh V. Perkins presents a rigorous and illuminating examination of the psychological and developmental forces that govern human growth from infancy through adolescence. Drawing on his expertise at the Institute for Child Study at the University of Maryland, Perkins chronicles the interplay between biological maturation, cognitive development, and the social environments that nurture — or hinder — a child's capacity to learn. Written with clarity and scholarly authority, the text instructs educators and students alike on the foundational theories of child development, weaving together insights from psychology, sociology, and educational philosophy into a cohesive and practical framework.\n\nPerkins argues that a deep understanding of human development is not merely academic — it is an essential prerequisite for any teacher who hopes to reach their students meaningfully. The work situates itself within the mid-twentieth-century tradition of progressive educational thought, engaging with the landmark ideas of figures such as Piaget and Erikson while grounding theory in real classroom application. Rich in detail and unflinching in its intellectual ambition, Human Development and Learning leaves the reader questioning not just how children learn, but whether our educational systems are truly designed to let them.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50609713447131,"sku":"2026100010824-SECONDHAND","price":25.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b1be6389-3f43-4a6f-9a62-faa97a0342ca.png?v=1791764792","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100010824-secondhand-human-development-and-learning","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
