Omtale

This book volume describes a fiveyear journey of inquiry and discovery and the research findings of medical, health and social scientists which provides an opportunity for scholars and professionals to reflect on the implications of this research for social policy and practice. Of particular interest and emphasis are issues of gender, poverty, Aboriginal status, and cultural factors that frame the lives of "typical" and "nontypical" young children and their families in urban, rural, and remote communities.
