This book was needed for a college course. It was well developed and researched. The information is current and should be a must for all high school or college students. It explains the fundamentals of a humans lifespan. It is a positive, well written, informative book!

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent, but had a lot of fluff, August 28, 2007

This review is from: The Developing Person Through the Life Span (Hardcover)

For me this book was required for a class. I guess it wasn't bad but I felt like I had to pick through all their example stories to find any of the real content. So much was case studies of one child or another. And most of the case studies were in themselves mostly fluff.

The book was great. It gave me what I needed to pass the exam through Excelsior College. However, the study guide that went along with it was a waste of time. The book is all anyone needs to pass the test.
