 Wonderful Educational Resource November 17, 2002

This book describes the very essence of life in a definite and distinctive way. There are no underlying factors or confusing verbage. The reader can simply investigate a topic of interest while receiving the information in its complete totality.The format of this book is simply wonderful. Santrock does an excellent job in allowing the reader to not only expand upon early life-span development . . . But he also introduces the reader to the various theories that helped shaped life-span development. In this book you learn of Vygotsky, Erickson, and Piaget and many, many others. I personally found this book to be of great help during my graduate studies. It provided me with practically everything that I needed on the subject of "development" and was a #1 source of reference in all practicums and papers. I am exceedingly happy that this book has renewed another edition and look forward to adding this updated version to my already sprawling collection.

There is no better book to be used for Developmental Psychology than this one. It not only provides the foundation of introductory psychology, but goes well into detail with all aspects of lifespan development. The material is extremely organized and chronological, making it very simple to use for reference and in the classroom. Highly recommended for all psychology students and instructors.

Very good text book. I enjoyed the class I used it in. The reading is clear and to the point. The summary at the end of each chapter was great review for tests. The list of key words with page numbers were very help in studing for a test. I really believe more people should read and study this class then those going in the medical field. I will read it again to review the thing taught there.
