This first South African edition of Human Development: A Life-Span View introduces the student to the issues, forces, and outcomes that make us who we are. It covers contemporary research and theory on human development, set within a South African context, with emphasis on the multidisciplinary approach needed to describe and explain how people change over time.
The text follows a chronological approach, tracing development from conception through late life in sequential order with several chapters dedicated to topical issues across the life span.
The organisation and learning features of the text are designed to make it easier for students to learn about human development.
Introduce students to the issues, forces and outcomes that make individuals into the people they are with the captivating, applied approach in Kail/Cavanaugh's HUMAN DEVELOPMENT: A LIFE-SPAN VIEW, 9E.
The authors combine their expertise in childhood, adolescence, adult development and aging to create a rich description of all life-span stages, tracing development from conception through late life. This comprehensive, yet succinct, narrative blends the latest neuroscience and biophysiological research with coverage of controversial topics and emergent trends -- demonstrating the connections between the laboratory and real life.
Updates explore the pandemic from a developmental perspective and examine holistic interventions for dementia and emerging and established adulthood. Students gain theoretical and empirical foundations that equip them to become educated, critical interpreters of developmental information.
--This text shows students how to organize their work and write
gracefully. --Vivid examples show students effective re-writes of
example passages. --Classroom and student homework assignments are
provided on the book's web site. --Provides examples from both
qualitative and quantitative research. --At 150 pages the book is
an effective core text for any social science writing course, but
brief enough to be assigned in large required courses like social
science research methods in sociology and in fields like education,
criminology, allied medical health, and other fields where
effective research presentation is an important career skill.
