Life Span Development: A Topical Approach (3rd Edition) 3rd Edition

A brief, topical overview of life span development
Life Span Development: A Topical Approach helps students to see the “big picture” of development across the entire life span. Throughout this brief version of his hallmark text Development Across the Life Span, author Robert Feldman employs a modular framework that offers instructors maximum flexibility to teach the course however they envision. Concise coverage of all key principles helps instructors cover the whole of the field within a standard term, while a topical approach makes it easier for students to understand the scope of development within particular areas (such as social or personality development) across the entire life span. Thoroughly updated with the latest data and contemporary examples, the Third Edition helps students to better see the relevance of developmental science.

You know it's a text book. A little dense but separated into modules. My professor selects just certain modules to cover so not bad. Interesting stuff!

Reviewed in the United States on November 28, 2017

Used this for a psychology class, and while there was a lot of information packed into it, I felt it was lacking in detail and kind of skimmed over the points they were trying to make on different topics. Because of this, it was hard to read for any length of time.
