Known for its clear, straightforward writing style, grounding in
current research, and well-chosen visuals and examples, Sigelman
and Rider's text combines a topical organization at the chapter
level and an age/stage organization within each chapter. Each
chapter focuses on a domain of development such as physical growth,
cognition, or personality and traces developmental trends and
influences in that domain from infancy to old age. Each chapter
also includes sections on infancy, childhood, adolescence, and
adulthood. The organization helps you grasp key transformations
that occur in each period of the life span. Other staples of the
text are its emphasis on theories and their application to
different aspects of development and its focus on the interplay of
nature and nurture in development. This edition includes new
research on biological and sociocultural influences on life-span
development and offers new media resources that help you engage
more actively with the content.
Packed with the latest research and vivid examples, Sigelman and
Rider's LIFE-SPAN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT, 10th edition, equips you with
