LIFE SPAN DEVELOPMENT - A TOPICAL APPROACH

'Life Span Development: A Topical Approach' maintains the student friendliness that has been the hallmark of Feldman's other development textbooks. It is rich in examples and illustrates the applications that can be derived from the research and theory of lifespan developmentalists. It pays particular attention to the applications that can be drawn from theory and research in the field. To optimize student learning and to provide instructors with maximum flexibility, the book uses a modular approach. Consequently, rather than facing long, potentially daunting chapters, students encounter material that is divided into smaller, more manageable chunks. Presenting material in small chunks represents a structure that research long ago found to be optimum for promoting learning. The modular approach also allows instructors to customize instruction by assigning only those modules that fit their course. Life Span Development: A Topical Approach is approximately 20% shorter than traditional lifespan books.
