A Topical Approach to the Developing Person Through the Life Span
With Macmillan’s superior content delivered by LaunchPad (comprehensive course) or Achieve Read & Practice (e-book + online homework), Kathleen Berger’s breakthrough text tells a compelling story of life-span development via a topically organized approach.
This is not a reorganized iteration of another Berger textbook, but rather a fully reconceived first edition exploring human development topic by topic. But as always with Berger, it is exceptionally accessible and compelling, distinguished by an engaging narrative voice, wide-ranging cultural perspective, and an emphasis on relating universal themes to students' own lives.
The LaunchPad option for this book offers a variety of engaging activities including Data Connections (a hands-on approach to understanding research data, Visualizing Development, (which explores important concepts through a combination of media), and Developing Lives (where students to “raise” a virtual child from newborn to teenager).
