For courses in Lifespan Development
A compelling blend of lifespan development research and applications
Development Across the Life Span provides a chronological overview of human development from the moment of conception through death, examining both the traditional areas of the field and more recent innovations. Author Robert Feldman focuses on how developmental findings can be applied meaningfully and practically, helping students to recognize the relevance of the discipline to their own lives. Thoroughly updated with the latest research and contemporary examples, the 9th Edition better ensures that students make connections between course concepts and their own lives and future careers.
