5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent Academic Book,
By
This review is from: Life-Span Human Development (Hardcover)
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.

Very good introductory book,

This review is from: Life-Span Human Development (Hardcover)
This is a wonderful introductory book on the area of Developmental Psychology. It is a very easy and engaging read. It includes many studies and works of other authors to support its claims, while not being overwhelmingly dry or boring. It provides plenty of good information and shows the authors have a thorough knowledge of the subject. It provides many examples behind the theory. I don't often read textbooks too much, but I read it almost thoroughly during my Developmental Psychology class. I'm glad this is the one my professor chose.

This review is from: Life-Span Human Development (Hardcover)
This book is ridiculous!! It is insanely expensive and yet it is FULL of grammatical and typographical errors. I cannot believe that professionals who write textbooks would allow so many publication errors. It's unbelievable!!
