DEVELOPING A PASSION FOR HUMAN DEVELOPMENT, November 23, 2010
Human Development: A Life-Span View
Human Development: A Life-Span ViewI was interested in taking a course on human development (developmental psychology) and I did some research on the Internet. This book came up in a couple of forums and in random searches, so I came here to Amazon to buy it. Turns out that it was not only a good choice, but a good investment. There's a lot of research that went into making this book the goldmine that it is; especially for someone who wants to know more about the topic. It's obviously written for a college course, but if you are self-directed, you can get the full educational value of this publication and have a junmp-start on course work like I did.

| I purchased the kindle edition. The only issue I have had with this edition is that the charts and tables are difficult to view. When using the kindle, you can not zoom in close enough to read the charts without squinting. When I view that charts on kindle for PC it is a little easier to read but still pretty difficult.Overall it is a good text book, but if you are considering purchasing the kindle edition, I would not recommend it. | 53 | ||

| overall I thought that this was a very interesting textbook, which is so very often NOT the case. I ended up reading the whole thing, even though it wasn't required in the class. The biggest area that this book lacks in is the special challenges that LGBT face in their lifespan development. The authors would do well to include more information on this subject matter (suicide, dating, family challenges, parenting, risk to LGBT seniors). | 44 | ||
