5.0 out of 5 stars Great book, May 25, 2002

By	"minuet1965" (Kailua, HI) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Developing Person Through the Life Span (Hardcover)

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Developing Person Through the Lifespan, April 16, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Developing Person Through the Life Span (Paperback)

I have used previous editions of this book and find it a fantastic resource. The publisher has wonderful adjunct materials available for teaching if the book is adopted for classroom use. The book is well organized and the new edition has both a study guide and observational videos available which improve over the 4th edition. Kudos on this revision!!

3.0 out of 5 stars Great CLEP resource, May 24, 2002

By	"rjboyd3" (Missouri) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Developing Person Through the Life Span (Hardcover)

I used this text for my Human Development CLEP and I passed it with flying colors. I would recommend it for CLEP review. It does have its faults though, not enough diversity and lacks a variety of actual tests/studies in the field - which showed me a weak spot in my CLEP review.
