Human Development: A Life-Span View

Human Development: A Life-Span View by Kail, Robert V.. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9780495600374.

Balanced coverage of the entire life span is just one thing that distinguishes HUMAN DEVELOPMENT: A LIFE-SPAN VIEW, 5TH EDITION. With its comprehensive, succinct, and applied coverage, the text has proven its ability to capture students interest while introducing them to the issues, forces, and outcomes that make us who we are. Robert V. Kails expertise in childhood and adolescence, combined with John C. Cavanaughs extensive research in gerontology, result in a book with a rich description of all life-span stages and important topics. A modified chronological approach traces development in sequential order from conception through late life, while also dedicating several chapters to key topical issues. This organization also allows the book to be relatively briefer than other texts--a benefit given the enormous amount of information covered in the course.
