Review # 1 was written on 2015-11-07 00:00:00 Shahen Sami Logically ordered; written in neutral, easy manner. It should make really good textbook. Not so much a time to time read. You'd probably want something less detailed, more concise. If you'd like an extreme version, here you are: We don't know shit about human psychology. Don't get me wrong - I do value psychology a lot. But the ways of scientific research is limited to in that field make it unbelievably inefficient (in terms of time) and horribly prone to error. But it's great to know how much you still don't know, right?

Review # 2 was written on 2014-03-05 00:00:00 RBFBD FSDRJF I read this entire textbook for one of the graduate level courses for Special Education. This book provides an extensive overview of typical development from Prenatal to Older Adulthood. In each section it discusses the Physical, Cognitive, and Social/Personality development of a typically developing individual. Lifespan Development also provided valuable information in regards to atypical development and factors that cause chromosomal diseases and physical/social/cognitive disabilities. The book is organized in a linear format and appears easy to navigate. The material and writing in this book, like any textbook, is dry and can be challenging to focus on. More than once, I found myself nodding off at a particular sentence or paragraph. the pages try to be diverse with text, pictures and tables, but to condense so much material (literally all the material from birth to death) into one book is asking for a snoozefest.
