Synopses & Reviews
For courses focusing exclusively on development through the pre-adolescent stage, this text is the ideal option. By providing the relevant chapters from most recent edition of Kathleen Berger's acclaimed bestseller, The Developing Person Through Childhood and Adoscence, it presents theory, research, practical examples, and policy issues in a cohesive, engaging way--but students are only paying for the material they need.
