The Human Odyssey: Life-Span Development (with InfoTrac)

With a unique balance and depth of coverage across all age groups, this book examines the physical and intellectual changes humans undergo from conception through death. Kaplan builds on basic themes of lifespan development, allowing readers to examine the entire human life experience, whereas many lifespan book are weighted in childhood and adolescence. And by putting the experiences into context--such as the family, school and community, and culture--the author is able to include a level of applied information that consistently captures student interest.
