Exploring Lifespan Development [with Revel Code]

by Laura E. Berk

Unparalleled Among Human Development Texts -- In a Class by Itself
Exploring Lifespan Development , Fourth Edition -- the shorter, essentials version of the market's leading text, Development Through the Lifespan, Seventh Edition -- covers the same topics and contains the same number of chapters, but presents only the essential information, with an exceptionally strong emphasis on applications. Exploring Lifespan Development also includes all the great features Berk's texts are known for -- an engaging writing style, exceptional multicultural and cross-cultural focus, rich examples, the most up-to-date research, and practical applications that help students relate the subject to their personal and professional lives.

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

This is really good for a textbook.

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

[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.
