Driven by learning goals, previous editions of this text have been widely adopted for their accurate, complete, and up-to-date coverage. While maintaining these hallmarks, this revision includes increased coverage of adulthood and aging, a new �Interlude� feature on applications, and updated research with more 21st-century citations than ever before.

3.0 out of 5 stars flimsy, March 23, 2007

This review is from: LifeSpan Development with LifeMap CD-ROM (Paperback)

For a $111 book you might expect something that would last a while. This book's cover is almost as thin as the pages inside and after one semester the resale price will go drastically down. Not to mention that it's virtually the same book as the previous edition for much cheaper. What a waste of money, revision, and paper. Get the previous version instead.
