Synopsis
This streamlined, readable account of human development gives you the conceptual foundations that enable you to become an educated and critical interpreter of developmental information.

In addition, the book emphasizes the application of human development research across diverse professional settings.

Succinct and filled with real-life examples that aid your understanding, it will capture your interest while introducing you to the essential issues, forces, and outcomes that make us who we are.
