Riveting plot, would reread

Bagus

[Ava Cars · Rating 4 out of 5]

Per essere un manuale è fatto bene. Le figure e le domande di comprensione facilitano lo studio e rendono la ripetizione evocativa. L'agglomerato di informazioni può essere un po' avvilente, ma questo solo se *devi* studiarlo per un esame, mentre credo che sia un ottimo testo di approccio alla materia.

A required textbook that I ended up reading cover-to-cover.
Information digested from this book earned me an A upon regurgitation, and some of the examples and opinions gave me fodder for essays.
I still use this book as a reference.

Maravillosos compendio de teorías y herramientas para cada etapa del desarrollo humano. Es la navaja suiza que no puede faltar en la biblioteca.

Quizás la única desventaja es que la profundidad de las teorías es apenas la suficiente para entender su utilidad. Se compensa con un alcance muy extensivo de investigadores, estudios y una estructura muy bien organizada de todo el material.

Quality Uni textbook.
Very good for referencing. My course worked through every chapter except the last one so I’ll read that one after finals 😂

[Alice Mancini · Rating 4 out of 5]

un po' complesso per iniziare e troppo poco per approfondire, rimane comunque un ottimo manuale

manuale fatto bene, ho comprato la IV edizione. comprende anche riassunti a fine capitoli e mappe concettuali

[Bere Tarará · Rating 5 out of 5]

Cómo puede verse el título del libro está mal escrito, pero Goodreads no permite modificarlo. Yo leí el libro de el ciclo vital. Es importante aclarar, porque esta misma edición luego se separó en tres ediciones: infancia, edad adulta y vejez. El libro completo vale la pena, aunque solo se puede encontrar en las bibliotecas universitarias. Considero que podría hacerse una versión más actualizada y especializada para Latinoamérica, pero en general, la búsqueda de una psicología que combine explicaciones biológicas y sociales a lo largo de la vida entera es una labor ambiciosa y bastante bien lograda por el autor. Ofrece cientos de referencias sobre las principales teorías y estudios de la materia. Me encantó

For a college textbook, it is not that bad of a read.
