DESCRIPTION:
P. Hernandez said Great Book. This book is required reading for my current graduate class: Human Growth & Development. It is a great book that provides in-depth info about human development throughout the lifespan. What's especially helpful is that every life stage is neatly broken down into seperate chapters, and every chapter details the impact of biological,psychological, and social factors on growth. This book will definitely help in understanding the process of growth and change in your own life.. Brand new book, but Tara Alesia I wish I'd known this was a binder book instead of one with binding. I'm not too disappointed since this is the best price I've seen for this book, but now I need a binder to put it in.. S. Blankenship said Kindle edition great, but no page numbers for Fire. I purchased the Kindle version since the price was more than half off the new hard copy price. The only downside I have found so far is that there are no page numbers available. Having no page numbers makes it more difficult to cite when writing papers. I have a Kindle Fire and do not know if it's the same for all kindle versions.

It is really a joy to read writing that is this clear and straightforward…The thematic boxes are devices that I appreciate very much, greatly adding to the reader's attention and comprehension of difficult subject matter. "The authors' writing style is very accessible to students--undergraduates as well as graduates. The case studies provided vivid and accurate portrayals of situations …and thoughtful questions afterward. For those who use it, it significantly improves their grades.""Development Through Life: A Psychosocial Approach is the best text I have ever used for a human development, lifespan development

Each life stage chapter ends with an applied topic that helps students connect the developmental themes of that stage with critical societal issues. Human diversity is introduced in the very first chapter and is a continuing theme, reflected in research coverage, theoretical analysis, illustrations, and boxes. Newman and Newman address physical, intellectual, social, and emotional growth in all life stages, focusing on the idea that development results from the interdependence of these areas at every stage, and placing special emphasis on optimal development through life. The use of case material throughout offers a way to balance information about general patterns of development with information about individual differences and life stories. The text integrates theory and research with application, making the rich material of development useful for emerging professionals. The text is noted for its clear organization, providing instructors and students with a coherent structure for tracing development over the life span. Newman and Newman take a chronological approach to the study of the life span, drawing on the psychosocial theory of Erik Erikson to provide a conceptual framework for the text.
