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.

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

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.

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.
