Lifespan 360: Christian Perspectives on Human Development

by Virginia Cashion

The central premise of Lifespan 360: Christian Perspectives on Human Development is to examine the human being from conception to death while focusing on the biological, cognitive, social, emotional, and spiritual changes that occur throughout the lifespan. As a research-centered book, it may serve as a core text that draws upon the methods and key principles of several fields in psychology in terms of their application to childhood, adolescence, emerging adulthood, middle adulthood, late adulthood, and death and dying. Every effort has been made to create a text where the content is comprehensive and written in an engaging tone that incorporates anecdotes and examples from a multidimensional and multicontextual perspective that attempts to overcome two basic challenges associated with typical lifespan development courses and texts.

1. Many typos that were distracting from the information.
2. Biased.
3. Not well outlined. Hard to make an outline out of chapter material to study as it did not follow a distinct/logical path.
4. Terrible use of generic stock internet pictures as in-text images.

The book had some interesting stuff in it, about the adolescent, etc. even though I hated the Psychology (Developmental Psychology) class. I had to read this book for; the book pointed out some good stuff. Would I read it again NOPE!
