This popular, topically organized, and thoroughly updated child and adolescent development text presents you with the best theories, research, and practical advice that developmentalists have to offer today. Authors David R. Shaffer and Katherine Kipp provide you with a current and comprehensive overview of child and adolescent development, written in clear, concise language that talks "to" you rather than "at" you. The authors also focus on application--showing how theories and research apply to real-life settings. As a result, you will gain an understanding of developmental principles that will help you in your roles as parents, teachers, nurses, day-care workers, pediatricians, psychologists, or in any other capacity by which you may one day influence the lives of developing persons.

5.0 out of 5 stars
I love this textbook.,
By Olly (Texas) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Developmental Psychology: Childhood and Adolescence, 1st Edition (Kindle Edition)
I am not an avid textbook reader. Actually, I never open my books. However, I love this textbook. It is fascinating and well-written, consisting of an odd "flow" which makes it a pleasure to read. The kindle format is wonderful, though the tables do not show up on my Kindle and require Kindle for PC.
As textbooks go, this is my favorite. It is not boring, like so many of them, and yet is written in an easy-to-understand language. Buy it - you won't regret it.

This review is from: Cengage Advantage Books: Developmental Psychology: Childhood and Adolescence (Loose Leaf)
I enjoyed the textbook; found myself reading it even when I didn't have to. It's a terrific resource for anyone who works with children.
I also purchased the loose-leaf format because it was the least expensive at the time. I quickly fell in love with it! I only had to take the chapters I needed to class with me, so I didn't have to lug a heavy book around. I will buy loose-leaf whenever possible from now on!

This review is from: Developmental Psychology: Childhood and Adolescence (Hardcover)
Had to get this for my developmental psychology class.
It went over a lot of developmental issues. Had many words defined throughout the book. I bought it new, so the book was in nice condition.
