[Paul · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good lifespan development textbook. The book comes from a humanistic perspective and I found several places where i disagreed with the bias, being a conservative Christian. Nevertheless, Berk does a good job at surveying the current literature in biology, sociology, anthropology, psychology, and education, and pulling it together into a fairly readable study on the experience of being human. Admirable work.

This is really good for a textbook.

[Latasha · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was interesting, but the general layout of the book wasn't too great.

[Kristina · Rating 2 out of 5]

This was required for a class I taught. I would probably try to pick a different book if given the opportunity.

[Chris · Rating 3 out of 5]

A good workday foundational text, offering a broad but clear (no unnecessarily obtuse jargon) introduction to lifespan development.

[Phases of Grace · Rating 1 out of 5]

Very brief info. Mostly about stories for other people and their situations. Did not help my psychology class even though this was the required book.

[Randi · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was required for a graduate class in Human Experience. Well written and actually held my interest with stories that illustrate the theories it talks about. Terrible index though.

It was a text book. I did like how it was easy to follow and it made studying key words great.
