Human Development

Drawing from many disciplines to provide an up-to-date presentation of the key questions, topics and controversies in life span development, this book takes a chronological approach to human development. It focuses on context and culture while illustrating that the status of human development is inextricably embedded in a study of complex and changing cultures. Maintaining an open-ended perspective throughout, the volume encompasses many different and opposing views and encourages readers to develop an informed point of view. This volume presents perspectives and research methods and examines approaches to understanding human development, heredity and environment. It reviews the physical, cognitive, and language development, as well as personality development and sociocultural development in infancy, toddlerhood, early and middle childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, middle adulthood and older adulthood. For those interested in human physical, cognitive and sociocultural development.

[Susan Marie]

Excellent for those interested in Psychology, Human Behavior, Stages of Development from birth to death along with well known theorists, developmentalists and psychologists. A keeper of a book. Suggest the hardcover version.

[Victoria Shyrchenko]

Інформація цікава, але вже застарівша. Зокрема те, що стосується Лгбт, сексу до шлюбу....вся статистика стосується 20 століття і майжевсе про США, що не дуже нам актуально в Україні.

[Maria Velb]

A useful book for specialists in psychology. It gives a thorough observation of main streams in human's development from birth to death.
