ABOUT THE BOOK

EDITORIAL REVIEW

Renowned professor and scholar Laura Berk has heightened emphasis on the lifespan perspective, expanded cross-cultural and multicultural research, and strengthened links between theory, research, and applications. Along with the theme of lifelong development, the book emphasizes (1) interdisciplinary contributions to the study of development, from psychology, anthropology, sociology, education, biology, and other fields; (2) the multidimensional nature of development-physical, cognitive, emotional, and social; (3) interacting contextual influences on development-biological, psychological, social, community, cultural, and historical; and (4) gender differences. For anyone interested in lifespan or human development.

USER REVIEWS

"I finally read it all and I learned a lot. After the first chapter it got easier. The first chapter was all theory and I had to read it twice to understand but the rest was smooth sailing. They break the chapters into Physical/Cognitive & Emotional/Social for each developmental stage."

"I needed the book fast. I got it fast. Not only that, but I got a high quality hard cover book for less money than most pay for a used soft cover. Brilliant."

"This textbook has a lot of information packed inside. It also contains a lot of interesting personal stories that sort of breaks up the monotony of scientific language."
