Summary

Winner of the Textbook Excellence Award from the Text and Academic Authors Association, Janet Belsky’s Experiencing the Lifespan always reflects a scientist’s understanding of key research, a psychologist’s understanding of people, and a teacher’s understanding of students. This extensively updated new edition features significant new findings, a broad-based global perspective, and enhanced media offerings. With all of this, the book itself remains at just the right length and level of coverage to fit comfortably in a single-term course.
