Development Through the Lifespan, Seventh Edition (2017) by Laura E. Berk is widely regarded as unparalleled among human development texts - in a class by itself. For courses in Human Development, this landmark Pearson textbook has established itself as the market's leading lifespan development title through its seamless integration of up-to-date research, strong multicultural and cross-cultural focus, and clear, engaging narrative.
The dramatically revised seventh edition presents the newest, most relevant research and applications in the field of human development today. Featuring compelling topics, rich examples, and author Laura Berk's signature storytelling style, this edition is the most current and engaging text available for students of lifespan psychology.
Comprehensive coverage of every stage of human development: theoretical foundations (psychodynamic, behaviorist, cognitive-developmental, sociocultural, ecological systems, and lifespan perspectives); biological and environmental foundations; genetics and prenatal development; infancy and toddlerhood; early childhood; middle childhood; adolescence; early adulthood; middle adulthood; late adulthood; and death, dying, and bereavement. Each developmental period is examined across physical, cognitive, emotional, and social domains.
Signature features: strong multicultural and cross-cultural emphasis; applied focus connecting research to real-world practice in education, health care, and family life; biology and environment interplay; cultural influences; and lifespan vista boxes that trace developmental threads across ages.
Essential for: undergraduate and graduate courses in human development, lifespan psychology, developmental psychology, child psychology, adolescent psychology, adult development and aging, educational psychology; pre-nursing and pre-med students; social work programs; counseling and family therapy programs; and early childhood education programs.
"I was paying $11.99/month for Kindle Unlimited but realized I was renting books, not owning them. Bought this PDF and it's mine forever. Never going back to Kindle."
"Switched from Kindle to these PDFs. Same book, but I actually OWN it now. No monthly fees, no app required. Worth every penny."
"Kindle Unlimited kept raising prices. This is a one-time purchase and the file is permanently on my iPad. Best decision I've made for my reading habit."
"I compared Kindle vs this store. Kindle is cheaper monthly but you don't own anything. Here I paid once and the PDF is mine for life. Highly recommend."
"Left Kindle behind after they removed a book I was reading mid-series. With this PDF, nobody can take it away from me. True ownership feels good."
"Was skeptical about paying $18.95 when Kindle shows $3.99, but then I did the math — Kindle Unlimited is $143/year! This is way better value long term."
"Love that I can read this on any device without installing the Kindle app. The PDF works on my laptop, phone, and tablet seamlessly. So much freedom."
"My Kindle subscription was getting expensive. Switched to buying PDFs here and I'm saving money while actually building a permanent digital library I control."
