Development through the lifespan
| Publisher: | Boston : Pearson, [2014] |
|---|---|
| Edition/Format: |  Print book : English : Sixth edition |
| Summary: | "Laura Berk's Development Through the Lifespan is relied upon in classrooms worldwide for its clear, engaging writing style, exceptional multicultural and cross-cultural focus, cutting-edge consideration of the interrelationships between heredity and environment, rich examples, and long-standing commitment to presenting the most up-to-date scholarship. This new edition continues to offer students research-based practical applications that they can relate to their personal and professional lives. Laura Berk, renowned professor and researcher, has revised the text with new pedagogy, a heightened emphasis on the interplay between heredity and environment, and an enhanced focus on many social policy issues, while emphasizing the lifespan perspective throughout. The latest theories and findings in the field are made accessible to students in a manageable and relevant way. Berk's signature storytelling style invites students to actively learn beside the text's "characters." Students are provided with an especially clear and coherent understanding of the sequence and underlying processes of human development, emphasizing the interrelatedness of all domains-physical, cognitive, emotional, social-throughout the text narrative and in special features. Berk also helps students connect their learning to their personal and professional areas of interest. Her voice comes through when speaking directly about issues students will face in their future pursuits as parents, educators, health care providers, social workers, and researchers. As members of a global and diverse human community, students are called to intelligently approach the responsibility of understanding and responding to the needs and concerns of both young and old. While carefully considering the complexities of human development, Berk presents classic and emerging theories in an especially clear, engaging writing style, with a multitude of research-based, real-world, cross-cultural, and multicultural examples. Strengthening the connections among developmental domains and of theory and research with applications, this edition's extensive revision brings forth the most recent scholarship, representing the changing field of human development."--Publisher's website.

Publisher Synopsis
What Reviewers Are Saying Again, you have written one of the best textbooks I have ever reviewed. You do a great job of using research-based material, provide clear statements describing complicated issues, provide useful summaries, and write in a way that enhances student interest and learning. In fact, I would suggest that faculty using your text end up learning even more than the students who read the book. Dale Lund, California State University, San Bernardino The writing style is extremely fluid, easy to read, and engaging. Cheryl Anagnopoulos, Black Hills State University Diversity and multicultural coverage is a REAL strength of the text. Aurora Sherman, Oregon State University The research is absolutely current, relevant, and well-integrated throughout the text. Lori Bica, University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire I think students need stories to serve as frameworks for thinking about developmental concepts, and this text provides that. Mary Ann Erickson, Ithaca College Laura Berk has included more diversity content (in both regular text and various boxes) than in any other comparable text. Bravo for Berk. Tracie Blumentritt, University of Wisconsin La Crosse Read more...
