Summary:Infant Motor Development Piek JP. Champaign, IL 61825, Human Kinetics, 2006, hardcover, 323 pp, illus, ISBN: 0-7360-0226-X, $65. This book reviews infant motor development, and the author highlights the empirical and theoretical progress that has been made since the early 1990s. The author begins with an exploration of the gestational period, then focuses primarily on the first year of life, given its importance in life span development. The aim of the text is to combine theory with application. Consistent with this goal, the author explores the concept of motor control in infancy, reviewing the influence of current research on intervention practices.
