This new edition of "The Developing Person Through the Lifespan" combines theory and up-to-date research with practical illustration in order to engage readers in the study of development. It addresses the fundamental issues from a chronological point of view and covers the entirety of the lifespan (not just infancy or adolescence). The book's enhanced pedagogy works alongside the author's lively narrative voice to ensure that this edition remains as user friendly as the previous editions.
