A best-selling, topically organized child development text, Berk's"
Child Development" is relied on in classrooms worldwide for its
clear, engaging writing style, exceptional cross-cultural and
multi-cultural focus, rich examples, and long-standing commitment
to presenting the most up-to-date scholarship while also offering
students research-based, practical applications that they can
relate to their personal and professional lives. Berk takes an
integrated approach to presenting development in the physical,
cognitive, emotional, and social domains; emphasizes the complex
interchanges between heredity and environment; and provides
exceptional attention to culture. Laura Berk, renowned professor
and researcher, presents the latest theories and findings in the
field to students in a manageable and relevant way. Berk's
signature storytelling style invites students to actively learn
beside the text's "characters," who experience real issues in
development, including physical, cognitive, and peer challenges, as
well as parenting and educational concerns. Berk also helps
students connect their learning to their personal and professional
areas of interest. Her voice comes through when speaking directly
about issues students will face in their future pursuits as
parents, educators, heath care providers, social workers, and
researchers. As members of a global and diverse human community,
students are called on to intelligently approach the responsibility
of understanding and responding to the needs and concerns of
children. While carefully considering the complexities of child
development, Berk presents classic and emerging theories in an
especially clear, engaging writing style, with a multitude of
research-based, real-world, and cross-cultural examples.
Strengthening the connections among developmental domains and among
theory, research, and applications, this edition's extensive
revision brings forth the most recent scholarship, representing the
changing field of child development. Note: MyDevelopmentLab does
