By JEAN PIAGET. Translated by Margaret Cook

The Construction of Reality in the Child, a seminal work by Jean Piaget, delves deep into the fascinating world of child psychology and cognitive development. Piaget, a renowned Swiss psychologist, revolutionized our understanding of how children perceive and make sense of the world around them. In this thought-provoking book, Piaget explores the intricate processes through which children construct their reality, from infancy to adolescence. By analyzing the stages of cognitive growth and the evolution of children's understanding of concepts like time, space, and causality, Piaget sheds light on the complexities of human development. A cornerstone in developmental psychology, The Construction of Reality in the Child continues to inspire generations of researchers, educators, and parents to unravel the mysteries of childhood cognition.
