Synopsis

Check out a preview.
In 2007, Janet Belsky's Experiencing the Lifespan was published to widespread instructor and student acclaim, ultimately winning the 2008 Textbook Excellence Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association. Now that breakthrough text returns in a rigorously updated edition that explores the lifespan by combining the latest research with a practicing psychologist's understanding of people, and a teacher's understanding of students and classroom dynamics. And again, all of this in the right number of pages to fit comfortably in a single term course.

Review:

Praise for Belsky's Experiencing the Lifespan
From Instructors: "Belsky's treatment of life-span development is state-of-the-art, thoughtful and accessible. This is an impressive book!"Laura L. Carstensen, Ph.D.Director, Lifespan Director, Stanford University "The author does a great job of taking a huge field and distilling it into basic principles and theories that can be covered in a semester."Jayne Ogden, East Texas Baptist University "Very impressed! I felt like I was listening to a person when reading. The author's upbeat attitude, enthusiasm, and optimistic realism come through all the time." David Devonis, Graceland University And Students: "Reading it I felt I was sitting in (a great) class." "This was a book I HAD to read for my developmental psychology class, but I must say that out of all the other psychology books, this author did a wonderful job of explaining development.  I enjoyed this book and will continue to use it throughout my life." "I have honestly never had so much pleasure reading for class.  The way you have thoughtfully constructed the book for students has made the book a delight to read.  Your textbook is the first one I have bought and not felt a bit disappointed having to purchase for class.  To me it is the perfect textbook and I plan to keep it for my personal library!"
