Publisher's Synopsis
Exceptionally well-loved by instructors and students who've used it, Janet Belsky s text offers a fresh, remarkably brief way to understand the experience of human development throughout the lifespan. It gives students an immediate and practical grounding in the field s basic concepts, guiding them from underlying research to practical applications, in a highly conversational style, with pedagogy that reinforces learning, and with examples drawn from an extraordinarily broad range of cultures throughout the world. And with its dedicated version of Worth s online course space, LaunchPad, this edition becomes a fully integrated print/interactive resource."
