WHY DID THE ENDING OF THIS MAKE ME TEAR UP.
I read the following paragraph as what was I made for by billie eilish was playing.

"I hope this edition and course have been a window to the life span of the human species and a window to your own personal journey in life. I wish you all the best in the remaining years of your journey through the human life span. John W. Santrock"

That... at the end of the death, dying, and grieving chapter. Happy first college textbook I actually read every page of.

I was the only person in my developmental psych class to read the entire textbook and it’s all worth it to be one less book behind on my reading challenge

This was a pretty good textbook which did a great job provding the latest research and leading theories on all thing developmental psychology in a cohesive manner. I like the life-span orgainzation of the text a lot, and most of the textbook was relevant research instead of fluff. I wish there was an easier way to see the meaning of vocab words besides going to the glossary, but alas.
