Summary

Offers a strong balance between research and applications.#xA0; For chronologically organized courses in Human Development/Lifespan Development. #xA0; Robert Feldman offers students a chronological overview of physical, cognitive, social, and emotional development-from conception through death with his text Development Across the Lifespan. The text presents up-to-date coverage of theory and research, with an emphasis on the application of these concepts by students in their personal-and future professional-lives. The text taps into students#x19; inherent interest in the subject of human development, encouraging them to draw connections between the material and their own experiences. #xA0; This book is available#xA0;with MyDevelopmentLab, which includes a full eText, videos, self-tests, flashcards, and MyVirtualChild- the interactive simulation which allows you to raise a virtual child from birth to age 18, and monitor the effects of your parenting decisions.#xA0; MyDevelopmentLab does not come automatically with the text so please be sure you check to ensure that an access#xA0;code is included before placing your order!#xA0;#xA0; (The book by itself has a different ISBN number than the book + MyDevelopmentLab.)
