Reviews

[Pam · Rating 2 out of 5]

2.5 stars. Good information, but awfully dense and complex for undergraduates.

[Ali · Rating 3 out of 5]

It was informative, but too dense and filled with (in my opinion) unnecessary detail.

دهنم سرویس شد تا خوندمش. مطالب به شدت فشرده بود و به سختی می شد در ذهن دسته بندیشون کرد (مخصوصا با اینهمه عددی که داشت).
با اینهمه منبعی ارزشمند برای مطالعه روند رشدی کودک

[Tina Rose · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great textbook for the topic. I read every word of it and it is VERY THOROUGH! The author adds some great personal insight and humor at times which makes it seem more personal, as if I am in class with him.

[Tracy · Rating 4 out of 5]

A very good book with a ton of information. Information can be very dense but very informative. The author stays on topic and adds a lot of insight.
