Editorial Reviews

Review

"The writing style in this text is excellent. …The "Current Controversies" sections are very important to bring the text into today. …I encourage the students to question the theories and this section helps with that effort."

"I especially liked the layout of the introduction and the contents in chapter 1, including the debates inherent in developmental theories (e.g. nature versus nurture). This discussion will help to place the different theories of change within a context…. The language is clear and concise, and very accessible to undergraduate students."

"The ?Controversies" and "Spotlight on Research" [boxes] have helped to promote discussions. The students seem to respond well to these portions of the text. ?.Students liked it too because [it] helped them to see how a study should be broken down."

Product Description

Skilled and enthusiastic authors, Kail and Cavanaugh bring their expertise in child development (Kail) and adulthood/aging (Cavanaugh) to bear on the story of the human lifespan. The authors employ a four-part structure to deliver, in 16 manageable chapters, a streamlined account of childhood, the school years, early adulthood, and beyond. This structure eliminates the redundancy found in traditional texts that describe the lifespan in a chronological fashion. As a result, readers experience an accurate and lively depiction of development that leaves them with a better sense of the most intriguing, intricate, and universal experience of humanity...life.
