Beschreibung
Kathleen Berger's breakthrough text tells a compelling story of life-span development via a topically organised approach. As always with Berger, her text is distinguished by an engaging narrative voice, wide-ranging cultural perspective, up-to-date research, and an emphasis on relating universal themes to students' own lives. This edition is also available with LaunchPad which offers a variety of engaging activities including: * Data Connections: From interactive maps showing rates of breastfeeding and immunization, to manipulatable graphs showing trends in adolescent risk-taking behaviours, this feature lets students take a hands-on approach to understanding the data in life-span development themselves. * Visualizing Development: These assessments link together graphics, text, and photographs to tell a visual story about an important concept in life-span development. * Developing Lives: Loaded with interactive features and pedagogy, this remarkable online experience asks students to "e;raise"e; a virtual child through the teenage years, making crucial decisions and responding to events. LaunchPad also combines an interactive e-book with high-quality multimedia content and activities, including interactive tutorials, videos, and the LearningCurve adaptive quizzing system.
