Product Description Using a chronological format, this text provides coverage and discussion of theory, research, and applications in the field of development psychology. In addition to the general theme of lifelong development, the text emphasizes the following: interdisciplinary contributions to the study of development, from psychology, sociology, anthropology, education and other fields; the multidimensional nature of development - phsyical, cognitive, emotional and social; multiple interacting contextual influences on development - biological, psychological, social, community, societal, cultural and historical; and gender differences, with special attention to the distinctive roles and life paths of males and females. | ||

Development Throuh the Lifespan 4th Ed. Needed it for school. Everything was great. The cost of the book AND the shipping was very reasonable. Received it in just a few days. Thanks | ||
The Good and the Bad I like how this book begins each chapter with a personal story, and how everything is related to life experiences that Mrs. Berk has had, but I found it very difficult to get through the chapters, because so much of it seemed like unnecessary or uninteresting elaboration, and her personal views on controversial political concerns (health care, for example) were quite clear, with little representation from opposing views. I often found myself pressed for time, and the sheer volume of each chapter was frustrating, such that I often skimmed for context, copied definitions, and then read through the summary for all the important things. Furthermore, I found that doing so was an effective way of studying for my class. I know that the subject material is interesting. I just feel that this book did not bring out that aspect of Developmental Psychology. | ||
Never got it I am unable to properly review this book as I never received it. Instead I got a book titled Anatomy and Physiology. I contacted the seller and to this day have received no repsonse. It has been over a month. | ||
good stuff, lots of it. Great book, very in depth. I feel like every page contained enough information to make me go "wow". Organized and relevant. | ||
