Jean Piaget Society Book Series

~~~ NEW ~~~

The Jean Piaget Society, in collaboration with LEA, has recently inaugurated a new book series.

The JPS Book Series (JPS-Books) seeks to publish two types of volumes:

  1. Major contributions to the field (i.e., books that represent a distinctive intellectual contribution to the study of knowledge and development are particularly welcomed).
  2. In creating an innovative book series, we also place a priority on high quality handbooks and reference materials that have a clear pedagogic intent.

If you have an idea for a book proposal, we invite you to download the current submission guidelines. [JPS Books Guidelines]

Prior to acquiring Cognitive Development, the society published its own quarterly journal and newsletter (The Genetic Epistemologist). Back issues of the journal are available on our web site.
