Product Description

In this topically organized introduction to child development, John Santrock balances the content instructors want with the and pedagogy students need. Child Development 9th edition continues Santrock's tradition of presenting cutting edge research and offering strong, integrated coverage of culture, ethnicity and gender, and school related issues. An expert consultant reviewed each chapter to ensure that the latest research is reflected. For students, the text's highly praised pedagogical system has been enhanced to improve understanding of how all of the material fits together.

3.0 out of 5 stars it takes the fun out of child development, September 14, 2005
By Megan Luther (New Jersey) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The paperback version is nice because it's cheaper... but after reading it, I think I would prefer the hard cover. Paperback books of a small size are fine, but this one is too large to work as a paperback. I have a hard time reading it because if I put it on my lap it sort of flops over and I can't see the whole page.
As to the content... I found it to be a little insulting. A lot of the points the text makes are sort of trite and obvious. It says things like "children are our future." This is true, but it doesn't seem like something that needs to be said in a college level textbook.
It looks pretty, with nice pictures and quotes in the margins, but there just doesn't seem to be much substance. I think a topic as interesting as child development should have a more interesting book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, March 6, 2008
I got this book, the 10th edition because the 11th is brand new and very expensive. This one is just about the same and works just fine for the class I have that requires this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars I am using this book and need to understand it better, February 7, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Child Development (Hardcover)
I find this book to be a bit structured and I need to understand the content clearer. I tried to purchase a study guide but there was none avalable
