Overview

Development Across the Life Span provides a chronological overview of human development from the moment of conception through death. Author Robert Feldman examines both the traditional areas of the field as well as more recent innovations, drawing you into the discipline. Focusing on how developmental findings can be applied practically, the text will help you recognize the relevance of the discipline to your own life.

The 9th Edition has been thoroughly updated with the latest research and contemporary examples to help you make connections between course concepts and your own life and future career. In order to keep the text current, the author has updated the narrative with dozens of revised figures and photos, as well as hundreds of new citations from articles and books published in the last few years.
