Author Robert Feldman utilizes a topical approach that makes it easier to understand the scope of development within particular areas (such as social or personality development) across the entire life span.

The 4th Edition offers updated research and contemporary examples to help you better make connections between course concepts and your own life and career. Dozens of revised figures and photos plus hundreds of new citations from articles and books published in the last few years keep the text current.
