Summary: Lifespan Development (5th Edition) (MyDevelopmentLab Series)
Comment: I thought the book was well organized for a general look at development and is a good starting point for college students to be exposed to the issues of devolopment.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Helpful resource
Comment: I too enjoyed how the book was written. But I also loved the companion website resources. It was very helpful when preparing for my midterm or final. I bought the book used for the class, and will keep it as an additional resource for my personal library.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Okay, but lacking
Comment: Used for a developmental psychology class, this book wasn't worth the $94.00 I paid for it. I could have easily substituted this book for any introductory psychology textbook. Piaget, Kolberg, Erikson, and Freud are hardly touched on and their theories are under-summarized. There is also a lack of relevant, current studies in the area of developmental psychology. Most studies are summarized and do not give any usable, substaintial evidence which could be used elsewhere (ex: in papers).
Customer Rating:
Summary: Excellent text
Comment: I have taught (and taken) courses in Child Development and Lifespan Development with numerous textbooks, and this was definitely my favorite. The text is exceptionally thorough and includes a balance of theory and application. Relevant research is discussed throughout, in a way that is interesting and engaging and emphasizes the importance of scientific rigor in studying development. Most of all I appreciate the personal, direct voice of the text, as if I am listening to the author talk. Some other texts actually make reading about lifespan development boring (hard to do but can be done!) This one very effectively illuminates how fascinating it can be. My only criticism might be that I found it very difficult to cover the entire text in a one semester class, precisely because it is so rich in information.

Designed to give your students the extra support they need to succeed in your classroom, our Study Edition of Bee/Boyd's Lifespan Development, Third Edition, offers perforated chapter practice tests at the end of the book, an optional Practice Test Solutions Manual with access to professional tutoring, and an Instructor's Answer Key with solutions and ready-made midterm and final exams. Containing the same engaging and effective features that have made Lifespan Development such a success, the Study Edition offers an additional bonus: perforated chapter quizzes. Because the answers to the practice tests are not included in the Study Edition, instructors can use the tests as quizzes or as extra homework. If instructors prefer to give students the option of checking their own results, they can package the Study Edition with our Practice Test Solutions Manual for FREE. Also included FREE with this option is our Tutor Center Access Card to provide students with extra study support from our qualified Tutor Center professionals by phone, fax, e-mail, and the Internet. With either ordering option, students get a valuable and effective study system not found in other books! Instructors and professors of psychology, education, human development, nursing, home economics, and family studies.
