Wow! This is a great book so far. I'm taking this in an 8 week summer session, so it's a lot of information to acquire. Highly recommend getting the study guide, there are useful lists, chapter summaries and practise quizzes. Just took my first exam online last night, and it was really HARD! Follow all the great links, use all the features and take notes like mad!

"Human Development" 10th Edition by Diane Papalia et. al, is by far the BEST text I have ever used in my 30 year educational career. I use the book for prospective teachers, and their response to it has been excellent. Specifically, students really appreciate the myriad of information from research and how it relates to theory, pedagogical strategies, and practical applications. The writing style is very "student friendly" and also intellectually challenging. From the context of instruction, the text exceeds all curricula requirements. And it also promotes critical thinking about issues; therefore Socratic dialogue is easily incorporated as an instructional tool.
I highly recommend this text--instructors and students will really appreciate all of the thought that has gone into creating such a quality product!

I got my book right on time. It was in perfect condition even though it was used. This was so worth the money! At other places this book was $40 more and in bad condition.
