Understanding Human Development presents an introduction to development that emphasizes the importance of family and cultural contexts. This overview of development across the lifespan emphasizes the dynamic interactions among biological, psychological and sociocultural forces. Authors Wendy Dunn and Grace Craig present people as they are in the context of culture and subculture, helping all readers to find themselves mirrored in the course.

The 4th Edition includes coverage of contemporary topics that will draw you into the study of development. These include changing notions of family, the effects of media on children, recent LGBT+ issues, and an updated treatment of bullying, including cyberbullying.
