With a unique balance and depth of coverage across all age groups, this book examines the physical and intellectual changes humans undergo from conception through death. Kaplan builds on basic themes of life-span development, allowing readers to examine the entire human life experience, whereas many life-span books are weighted in childhood and adolescence. And by putting the experiences into context--such as the family, school and community, and culture--the author is able to include a level of applied information that consistently captures student interest.

"The text reads like an interesting non-fiction book about society. This is by far the best developmental psychology book I have ever read."
"I rarely use a text for more than two or three years, but we have used Kaplan for eight years here at M.T.S.U. There simply has not been a better text on the market. I like what Kaplan has done with this revision... [the book] is still the best of the chronological human development texts... it is thorough, scholarly, readable, and balanced."
"I am most enamored with Kaplan's ability to address the complexity of human development while maintaining an accessible and engaging level of prose."
"The most applied text I have read in the area of human development... the author seems to have the reader continually in mind when writing... One might say that the stuffiness has been taken out of the human development field and students are left with a discussion that is authoritative, intriguing, and inviting."
