The Developing Person Through the Life Span (paper) (Paperback)

Editorial Reviews

Product Description

The new edition of The Developing Person Through the Lifespan combines theory and the most up-to-date research with practical illustration in order to engage readers in the study of development. It addresses the fundamental issues from a chronological point of view, and covers the entirety of the lifespan (not just infancy or adolescence). The book's enhanced pedagogy works alongside the author's lively narrative voice to ensure that this edition remains as user-friendly, if not more so, than its predecessors.

I had to read this book for Life Span development at the graduate level. Considering this is a topic that I find dry and borring, this book was excellent and I enjoyed reading it.
It covers Biosocial,Cognitive and Psychosocial development for all stages of life leading up to death with lots of charts, discriptions, and a side bar of definition terminology.
