Childhood and Society 2nd ed. Edition

This is definitely not a light or easy read.It is very informative and worth it if you can go through the book more than once.The book does address the 'stages' of life superficially, but since the focus really is on childhood that is to be expected.This was a good buy.

This is a present for my mother and avid reader and teacher of young children. I know she is going to love this book, and even though I got it used it was in superb condition.

This was useful for me when studying Erickson Theory for bachelors degree. It was worth buying on kindle for that purpose.

Childhood and Society, in its first edition, was Erik H. Erikson's first book. The second edition, which I read pieces of for a project, incorporates more of the ideas he had after some significant historical events took place. Erikson heavily considers context and culture in the development of the ego or identity, which is the main focus of this book. It also has his own description of the Eight Stages of Man for which he is famous. Erikson's writing is at times vague and hard to follow, but this book is a must read for anyone wanting to understand more completely Erikson's earlier theories.

Great read

Book was in really excellent shape

I needed Erikson's original works for my doctoral dissertation - this was by far the best (and cheapest) way to get at them!

I read all the Biographies of the Presidents by way of the Presidential series. If you are going to do it, read John Hancock first because he was the first Continental Congress President. You will find as you read these how the lives of each President intertwined with the next. The job is a lineage.
