Wonderfully well-written,

This review is from: Developmental Psychology: Childhood and Adolescence (Thomson Advantage Books) (Hardcover)
This is an awesome book. It's well-written in everyday language that's easy to understand, has tons of interesting pictures and "boxes" (applications of the concepts to real life), and you can start reading anywhere in the book and be able to understand the concepts. In other words, you can jump into the book anywhere; you don't need to read it in order. If you're taking a psych class (even one that doesn't require this textbook), this is a great supplement, and even has great self-quizzes at the ends of the chapters, along with the answers in the back. BUY THIS BOOK!

This review is from: Thomson Advantage Books: Developmental Psychology: Childhood and Adolescence ,7th Edition (Thomson Advantage Books) (Loose Leaf)
The book is great, covers all the fundamentals and goes into some detail. Great book for a class in child development or child/adolescent developmental psychology. Great visuals, easy to read text, I mean it's a textbook. Overall it's great, but I didn't buy it for anything other than to have to get it for class.

This review is from: Thomson Advantage Books: Developmental Psychology: Childhood and Adolescence ,7th Edition (Thomson Advantage Books) (Loose Leaf)
I just skimmed over the page when making this purchase for my developmental psychology course. When it arrived I was disappointed to find that it was just a stack of loose paper. I decided that I would manage, but when I tried to put the pages into a notebook, I found that some of the holes were torn. I contacted Amazon and returned the item. I am in the process of getting my full refund. Though the item did not meet my standards, Amazon responded quickly.
