Synopsis
This version includes textbook and LaunchPad Access.
Kathleen Berger’s acclaimed survey of developmental psychology across the life span is up to date, inclusive of cultures from every corner of the globe, and compelling in the way it shows students the everyday relevance of the field’s theories, ideas, and discoveries.
The book's features include:
- Extended multicultural coverage, linking together graphics, text, and photographs to tell a visual story about important concepts in life-span development from age structure and development to the impact of adult overweight around the globe
- 'Opposing Perspectives' features asking students to look at both sides of a controversial issue, encouraging critical thinking skills
- Attention to cultural diversity, highlighting the impact of cultural differences and universals on the values and customs that shape individual development
- Applications-based pedagogy which gets students thinking about the real implications―for themselves and for the world at large―of what they are learning
In this fully updated tenth edition there are hundreds of new research citations, updated activities and new 'Think Critically' questions designed to provoke thought, not simple responses.
The pack comes with LaunchPad, containing resources for you and your student. It combines an interactive e-book with high-quality multimedia content and ready-made assessment options, including LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. Curated pre-built units are easy to assign or adapt with your own material, such as video, animations, simulations, readings, quizzes, discussion groups and more.
