Overview

A new entry for the growing topically-organized segment of this market, this book presents pivotal research and theories in a more readable, accessible style than books currently available. This first edition teams Diane Papalia's teaching and writing expertise with Ruth Feldman's professional writing, and it introduces Dana Gross, a child development researcher and professor at St. Olaf's College in Minnesota. Applauded by reviewers for its combination of research coverage with applications and real-life examples, this new text also includes Papalia's hallmark of superior coverage of cross-cultural and social policy topics. - Link-Ups to Look For open each part in the text and show students the important connections between domains in each period of life. - Guideposts (or learning objectives) begin each chapter by giving boxed, broad overview questions to help students focus on the chapter's key ideas. They are repeated in the chapter margins next to the corresponding text discussion. - Boxed Features explore topics in greater detail, giving instructors the option of focusing on research, culture, social policy and historical comparisons.
