This edition has been revised to include increased coverage of the role of culture in development and expanded coverage of biological explanations and theories of development. There is also increased emphasis on emotional development.
This was a book for my Child psych class. I wasn't impressed with the info in it or lack of info. Most research wasn't diverse and it felt like reading a really long boring essay of common sense findings. I wish there was more to it. Overall, it was okay.
This book had a lot of information in it. It covered some topics well and others not so much. It is a good guide, but does not provide much detail on some things. The charts and pictures are very helpful. It's a very expensive book and I feel like I could have got the same information from other books that are a lot cheaper.
As a reference guide it's great because it covers a little bit of everything, I particularly enjoyed their brief chapter synopsis, they basically cover the important themes of the chapter.Pro-tip for students, who can't read it all.
Such an amazing Book for any mom! ... read it as one of my master`s assignment,but "Hang any Masters!", this book is phenomenal for Parenting cute children,please. :)
