Life-Span Human Development (with InfoTrac College Edition)

Carol Sigelman uses a topical approach blended with an age/stage approach to present life-span development as a motion picture rather than a series of snapshots. In this book, students will find numerous real-life examples and analogies that take the mystery out of the human life experience. Sigelman's clear, straightforward writing makes even the most complex topics accessible. Thoroughly updated with the latest research, the book emphasizes how nature and nurture interact over the life span to bring about normal and abnormal development changes.
