Laura Berk, renowned professor and researcher, has revised the text with new pedagogy, a heightened emphasis on the interplay between biology and environment, and an enhanced focus on many social policy issues, while emphasizing the lifespan perspective throughout.
The latest theories and findings in the field are made accessible to students in a manageable and relevant way.
Berk’s signature storytelling style invites students to actively learn beside the text’s “characters†who share their developmental milestones at different stages of life.
Students are provided with an especially clear and coherent understanding of the sequence and underlying processes of human development, emphasizing the interrelatedness of all domains–physical, cognitive, emotional, social–throughout the text narrative and in special features.
Berk also helps students connect their learning to their personal and professional areas of interest.
Her voice comes through when speaking directly about issues students will face in their future pursuits as parents, educators, heath care providers, social workers, and researchers.
