Life-span Development (8th ed.)

Completely revised and featuring a new design, the latest edition of this book is the most accurate and up to date text available.

Applauded by adopters as eloquently written and intelligently presented, this text bears John Santrock's trademark balance of accurate, current content for faculty and effective pedagogy for students.

Included in this new edition are the most cutting edge research available and thoroughly integrated coverage of culture, ethnicity and gender.

For students, Santrock's student-celebrated teaching system has been enhanced to help students see how the course material fits together.

Expanded web resources include web icons which appear throughout each chapter, next to appropriate content, signalling to the student that connecting links and additional information are available on the web site. "Taking it to the Net" problem-solving exercises have been added to encourage students to explore topics in more depth via the Internet. "Careers in Life-Span Development" boxes feature interviews with professionals who use the concepts from life-span development in their careers. "Through the Eyes of Psychologists" boxes feature quotes and insights from today's top developmental researchers in the field.

These passages bring researchers and their subjects to life for students.
