A Topical Approach to the Developing Person Through the Life Span

First Edition| ©2021 Kathleen Stassen Berger

With Macmillan’s superior content delivered by LaunchPad (comprehensive course) or Achieve Read & Practice (e-book + online homework), Kathleen Berger’s breakthrough text tells a compelling story of life-span development via a topically organized approach.

With Macmillan’s superior content delivered by LaunchPad (comprehensive course) or Achieve Read & Practice (e-book + online homework), Kathleen Berger’s breakthrough text tells a compelling story of life-span development via a topically organized approach.

This is not a reorganized iteration of another Berger textbook, but rather a fully reconceived first edition exploring human development topic by topic. But as always with Berger, it is exceptionally accessible and compelling, distinguished by an engaging narrative voice, wide-ranging cultural perspective, and an emphasis on relating universal themes  to students' own lives.

The LaunchPad option for this book offers a variety of engaging activities including  Data Connections (a hands-on approach to understanding research data, Visualizing Development, (which explores important concepts through a combination of media),  and Developing Lives (where students to “raise” a virtual child from newborn to teenager).

The Approach is Topical. The Distinction is Berger.

With Macmillan’s superior content delivered by LaunchPad (comprehensive course) or Achieve Read & Practice (e-book + online homework), Kathleen Berger’s breakthrough text tells a compelling story of life-span development via a topically organized approach.

This is not a reorganized iteration of another Berger textbook, but rather a fully reconceived first edition exploring human development topic by topic. But as always with Berger, it is exceptionally accessible and compelling, distinguished by an engaging narrative voice, wide-ranging cultural perspective, and an emphasis on relating universal themes  to students' own lives.

The LaunchPad option for this book offers a variety of engaging activities including  Data Connections (a hands-on approach to understanding research data, Visualizing Development, (which explores important concepts through a combination of media),  and Developing Lives (where students to “raise” a virtual child from newborn to teenager).

Features

ONLINE
LaunchPad
Help students get better results.

Built around the most common issues faced in the classroom, LaunchPad gives students a complete e-book with all interactive features including, LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. For instructors, LaunchPad offers everything they need to quickly set up a course, customize content for your syllabus, create presentations and lectures, assign and assess readings and activities, and guide the progress of individual students and the class as a whole.

Featured in LaunchPad
Data Connections.
  From interactive maps showing rates
of breastfeeding and immunization, to manipulatable graphs showing trends in adolescent risk-taking behaviors, this feature lets students take a  hands-on approach to understanding the data in
life span development themselves.

Visualizing Development
. These assessments link together graphics, text, and photographs to tell a visual story about an important concept in life-span development.

Developing Lives (fully integrated into LaunchPad and also available as a standalone resource). Loaded with interactive features and pedagogy, this remarkable online experience asks students to “raise” a virtual child through the teenage years, making crucial decisions and responding to events.

Achieve Read & Practice
E-book + LearningCurve adaptive quizzing

Achieve Read & Practice marries Macmillan Learning’s mobile, accessible e-book with the acclaimed LearningCurve adaptive quizzing. It is an easy-to-use yet exceptionally powerful teaching and learning option that streamlines the process of increasing student engagement and understanding—and the cost is significantly less than that of a printed book.

IN THE TEXT
Unique coverage of Neuroscience and Development

A  separate chapter on Neuroscience (Ch. 5)  tells a cohesive story about brain development across the life span. In addition, in some chapters, Inside the Brain presents cutting-edge research on the brain with charts, figures, and photos.

Attention to Cultural Diversity
Berger highlights cultural differences and universals and their impact on the values and customs that shape individual development.
 
Critical Thinking and Applications-Based Pedagogy
From the chapter-opening stories and the "A View From Science" and “A Case to Study” features, to the questions presented in "Observation Quizzes," “Especially For,” “Think Critically,” and new “Chapter Apps” marginalia, to the Visualizing Development infographics, Berger’s pedagogy has students thinking about the real implications—for themselves and for the world at large.

Opposing Perspectives
The feature asks students to look at both sides of a controversial issue (from prenatal sex selection to e-cigarettes, etc.), thereby expanding the coverage of critical thinking.

Authors

Kathleen Stassen Berger

Kathleen Stassen Berger received her undergraduate education at Stanford University and Radcliffe College, earned an M.A.T. from Harvard University, and an M.S. and Ph.D. from Yeshiva University. Her broad experience as an educator includes directing a preschool, serving as chair of philosophy at the United Nations International School, teaching child and adolescent development to graduate students at Fordham University and undergraduates at Montclair State University in New Jersey and at Quinnipiac University in Connecticut, as well as teaching social psychology to inmates at Sing Sing Prison. Throughout most of her professional career, Berger has worked at Bronx Community College of the City University of New York, first as an adjunct and for the past two decades as a full professor. She has taught introduction to psychology, child and adolescent development, adulthood and aging, social psychology, abnormal psychology, and human motivation. Her students—who come from many ethnic, economic, and educational backgrounds and who have a wide range of ages and interests—consistently honor her with the highest teaching evaluations.

Berger is also the author of The Developing Person Through Childhood and Adolescence and Invitation to the Life Span. Her developmental texts are currently being used at more than 700 colleges and universities worldwide and are available in Spanish, French, Italian, and Portuguese, as well as English. Her research interests include adolescent identity, immigration, and bullying, and she has published many articles on developmental topics in the Wiley Encyclopedia of Psychology and in publications of the American Association for Higher Education and the National Education Association for Higher Education. She continues teaching and learning as her four daughters and three grandsons continue to develop, as she interacts with students every semester, and as she revises each edition of her books.
