The Story of Development Told through the Lives of Real Children and Families.
Scientific American: Child and Adolescent Development (a chronological approach) unites contemporary science and real-life applications by telling the stories of 16 children, adolescents, and families from across the United States. More than a textbook, it’s a suite of interactive materials that encompasses the full scope of human experience and makes culture central to every chapter.
