Publisher's Synopsis
Capturing the flow of development form infancy to old age, this innovative alternative to chronologically organized texts offers age/stage sections within topical chapters. This unique organization ensures that major threads of development are traced through all periods of the life span and gives students an introduction to human development as a coherent `motion picture' as opposed to a series of `snapshots' taken at various ages.;Scholarly, up-to-date, and practical, the text is unusual in its strong coverage of nature-nurture issues form a life-span perspective, its full-chapter coverage of developmental psychopathology and its strong cognitive coverage.;This book should be of interest to undergraduate psychology and students in teaching, nursing and other human services taking courses in developmental psychology.
