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 10th Edition offers updated content, including coverage of how recent events such as the COVID-19 pandemic are impacting development. In order to keep the text current, the author has updated the narrative with dozens of revised figures and photos, as well as over 1000 new citations from articles and books published in the last few years.
