This is an excellent book to get a taste of learning theoriests, a good beginners book. Crain covers the most important learning theorists, Chomsky, Kolhberg, Montessori, Freud, to name a few. However this book is not completely objective, Crain's opions slip in from time to time. I suggest if you are really interested in learning theory to read more in depth on the theorists he covers in the book. This is a wonderful book for anyone who has children, works with children, or anyone interested in psychology. Tip: This book is also commonly used as a textbook and you can get it cheaper here than at a college bookstore. (usually $44 at bookstore)

I purchased this for a class on human development. It was a good overview of historical theory. I especially liked the evaluation section at the end of each chapter that discusses strengths and weaknesses of the theories presented.

This transaction was quite smooth and I am very pleased with the quality of the product. It was inexpensive and was in great condition when it was sold. I recommend this seller for future transactions.
