Life-Span Human Development - Thryft

Life's Timely Transformations: A Comprehensive Guide.

"Life-Span Human Development" is an excellent choice for anyone who is interested in learning about human development. Its unique organization allows one to comprehend developmental trends and influences that occur in different stages of life. The text also provides integrated coverage of culture and diversity. With its emphasis on theories and how they apply to specific topics in each chapter, it offers comprehensive coverage of physical growth, cognition, and personality from infancy through old age.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Known for its clear, straightforward writing style, comprehensive coverage, strong and current research-based approach, and excellent visuals and tables, this life-span development text offers a topical organization at the chapter level and a consistent chronological presentation within each chapter. Each chapter focuses on a domain of development such as physical growth, cognition, or personality, and traces developmental trends and influences in that domain from infancy to old age. Within each chapter, you will find sections on four life stages: infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. This unique organization enables students to comprehend the processes of transformation that occur in key areas of human development. Another staple of the text is its emphasis on theories and how they apply to specific topics in each chapter. This new edition also asks students to engage more actively with the content, and includes a clear focus on the complex interactions of nature and nurture in development, more integrated coverage of culture and diversity, and an exciting new media package for both students and instructors.
