Known for its clear writing, current research and well-chosen visuals and examples, Sigelman and Riders LIFE-SPAN HUMAN DEVELOPMENT, 10th edition, organizes chapters by topic and then presents material chronologically within each chapter. This unique blend of topical and chronological approaches helps students grasp key transformations that occur in each period of the life span. Each chapter focuses on a domain of development and traces developmental trends and influences in that domain from infancy to old age. The text emphasizes theories and their application to different aspects of development and also focuses on the interplay of nature and nurture in development. The 10th edition expands its examination of both biological and sociocultural influences on life-span development.
