Always current. Always innovative. No one tells the story of development through adolescence better.
With Macmillan’s superior content delivered by Achieve, Kathleen Berger’s acclaimed introduction to childhood and adolescence development weaves classic and cutting-edge research, contemporary topics (especially neuroscience and culture), and relatable real stories and personal experiences. Achieve for the text offers additional ways to engage students, including Data Connections, which let students explore the data behind high-impact research; and Developing Lives 2.0, a robust upgrade of the acclaimed parenting simulator in which students “raise” a virtual child through adolescence.
