Development Through the Lifespan, 4e

What reviewers are saying�?�

 

"This is the most engaging textbook I have reviewed or used... truly remarkable in its depth, research and professional, personable, and engaging writing style... This book sets a new standard of excellence....I especially liked the excellent applications-implications included... far superior to nearly all other texts I am familiar with."

�??Dale Lund, University of Utah

 

"One of the strengths of this book is a sense that we are learning from someone who is both a great scholar and a very wise and experienced person.  Berk has credibility on both a professional and personal level . . . [The text] also offers a sense that my students are getting exposure to the best research and ideas available in my field.

�??David Shwalb, Southeastern Louisiana University

 

"[I appreciate the] great use of concrete, real-life examples of the various concepts throughout the chapter.  This is incredibly helpful for students' learning and retention of the material."

�??Tracie Blumentritt, University of Wisconsin La Crosse

 

I especially like the way Dr. Berk addresses policy in this text... the Social Issues boxes are very useful in engaging students in topics of real-life importance that go beyond the individual."

�??Ashley Maynard, University of Hawaii

 

"This is a high-quality text with wonderful pedagogical features."

 �??Laurie Gruntmeir, Redlands Community College

 

"One of the greatest strengths of any Berk book on human development is the quality of the research the author selects for inclusion.  The timeliness and relevancy of the selected research goes a long way in enhancing the caliber of the information.  The author has created a good blend of historic, classic, contemporary, and practical research, which is appropriate for the topics covered."

�??Lanthan Camblin, University of Cincinnati

 

"Chapter 8 is outstanding . . . The discussion of the factors that influence social and emotional adaptation illustrates the complexity of development, but in a highly readable and understandable fashion."

�??Byron Egeland, University of Minnesota

 

"Chapter 19 is extraordinary.  Other textbooks pay lip service to the topic (of death, dying and bereavement) and have the tendency to gloss over the material.  Berk has written a phenomenal chapter�?� it is thorough, sensitive, and well written."

�??Cheryl Anagnopoulos, Black Hills State University

Revue de presse

"Students would love this book―it's a joy to read! While Berk offers salient and up-to-date information rooted in a solid research base, she does not excessively weight discussion with jargon. Rather, she beautifully illustrates concepts through rich examples." ― Edythe H. Schwartz, California State University, Sacramento

"I adopt this book for my Human Development course because it presents a comprehensive and even-handed survey of the theoretical and empirical issues that are central to the study of human development in a way that is accessible and interesting to my students." ― Caty von Karolyi, University of Wisconsin, Eau Claire

"There is a fluidity in the writing style that is superior to other textbooks I have examined." ― Karl Hennig, St. Francis Xavier University

"Berk's coverage of topics in this chapter (17) is far superior to what appears in the leading social gerontology textbooks. The material is presented in a much clearer and interesting format by Berk. She has excellent writing skills and relates very well to students." ― Dale A Lund, University of Utah

"Extremely well-written with a good balance between being readable, accessible, and yet presenting the complexities of studying human behavior." ― Laurie Gottlieb, McGill University

". . . the students like it and actually read it. They enjoy the vignettes, which encourage application to real-life situations." ― Nancy White, Youngstown State University

". . . an excellent survey of classic and contemporary work. It is very impressive in its comprehensiveness yet it also benefits from a fluidity of exposition that is remarkable." ― Dana Plude, University of Maryland, College Park

"Berk's style of writing is very clear and easy to understand. My students have, semester after semester, expressed approval for [Berk's] clear writing style. Using real examples of children's behavior brings the material to life and my students appreciate it." ― Deborah M. Chargois, Jacksonville State University

"What I like most about Development Through the Lifespan are the real-life stories. They show people's triumphs and accomplishments and how they overcame their struggles. It gives you a better understanding and more descriptive information that make you want to read more and helps you really understand more." ― Paulette Gordon, Student, Valencia Community College

"Overall it is easy reading that helps you to understand the material without being overloaded by the terminology. It is a very conceptually appealing book." ― Sarah Condie, Student, Salt Lake Community College
