As textbooks go, I found this one very readable - not as dense as most. It was a required text for my ed psych class. It's clear and easy to follow as an introduction to the different theories of developmental psychology.

This is a great book for the introduction to the ideas of Theories of Development. Whether it is your first time meeting these theories and their creators or reviewing them to refresh your memory, William Crain's layout of Theories of Development is an easy to understand format.

I am a Ph.D. in education, and I will say that if you want a great overview for introductory students, this is a great text. It's also not as expensive as some of the Human Growth and Development texts out there.

Book in very good condition. Good service. The book is great for students who are novice researchers as it offers a good overview of research methods in education

This book was just what I needed for my class and was in the price range that I was looking for. It arrived in the time that was stated and also in the condition it stated it was in.

Well, the product came in the mail at just the right time (wasn't late), Not bad for 'used', looked brand new to me except for a few highlights, but I can get past it... I'm studying those chapters anyway! The price was better than it's marketed price, which definitely saved me. Overall, good product, I'm glad I found it here.

Great book about the theories of developmental psychology. Well organized and clearly explains every single theory. It also contains the author's evaluations on each theory. This is very helpful for the students. However, the price of the book is too expensive.

This book by Crain gives interesting information and original theorists' insight with limited opinion. Once in a while Crain gives opinion but he tells you so you can easily separate fact from editorial material. I have actually used this book - underlined and highlighted - that is getting less frequent for me. I'd buy a Crain book again. Amazon's service was equally as impressive.

The book has a lot of information but is a little dry which can sometimes make it hard to read.

This book is a great overview for learning about human growth and development. It gives a summary of each theorist and their theories. Easy to read and understand.
