About the Book

This text is intended for freshman/sophomore-level introductory courses in life span human development and life span developmental psychology. Drawing from many disciplines to provide a contemporary presentation of the key questions, topics and controversies in life span development, this text takes a chronological approach to human development. It focuses on context and culture while illustrating 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 and opposing views and aims to encourage students through their study to develop an informed point of view.
