Human Development Across the Life Span: A Topical Approach

by Fergus P. Hughes, Lloyd D. Noppe, Illene C. Noppe

A thorough, comprehensive, topical introduction to human development. In rejecting classic "age" and "stage" treatments of human development, these authors take an approach that better shows the continuity of the developmental process. They emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of the field by integrating pertinent ideas from such diverse sources as sociology, biology, and cultural anthropology. This edition embraces more discussion of infancy, greater coverage of the adult, and a more thorough look at the role of women in a person's growth and development than the previous edition.

I read this in college. Not sure how much I remember from it. I'll have to read it again someday.
