Book Overview
Known for its clear, straightforward writing style, comprehensive coverage, strong and current research-based approach, and excellent visuals and tables, this life-span development text offers a topical organization at the chapter level and a consistent chronological presentation within each chapter. Each chapter focuses on a domain of development such as physical growth, cognition, or personality, and traces developmental trends and influences in that domain from infancy to old age. Within each chapter, you will find sections on four life stages: infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. This unique organization enables students to comprehend the processes of transformation that occur in key areas of human development. Another staple of the text is its emphasis on theories and how they apply to specific topics in each chapter. This new edition also provides ways for you to engage more actively with the content, and includes a clear focus on the complex interactions of nature and nurture in development, more integrated coverage of culture and diversity, and an exciting new media package for both students and instructors.

This book covers all questions you may have about the subject and when you search for information on the internet, it matches the book's information. It is a great asset for your Psychology requirement. Heck, just buy it to help you understand the life of people from birth to death. You don't need to be in college to read this book. I will not be reselling this book, I will keep it for a reference in my new career.
Great Job!!

This book was a required text for a graduate counseling class. I recommend it for anyone interested in why we are like we are and how we developed to get that way!!
