Description
Human Development, 8/e, with its focus on context and culture, illustrates that the status of human development is inextricably embedded in a study of complex and changing cultures. Maintaining an open-ended perspective throughout, the text encompasses many different opposing views and encourages students through their study to develop an informed point of view. Retaining the best features of the previous edition, the text has been thoroughly revised and updated to include recent developments in the field. *Revised and reorganized material presents childbirth and infants earlier in the book *Charts and tables present demographic data on development in the US and around the world *Lively understandable writing style with many examples from everyday life
