Lire des livres Lifespan Development in Context: A Topical
Approach
By Tara L. Kuther
Award-winning author Tara L. Kuther presents Lifespan Development in
Context, a topically organized version of her bestselling Lifespan Development
text that provides a panoramic view of the many influences that shape human
development. Kuther's student-friendly narrative illustrates how the places,
sociocultural environments, and ways in which we are raised influence who we
become and how we grow and change throughout our lives. Three core themes
resonate throughout each chapter: the centrality of context, the importance of
research, and the value of applied developmental science. Foundational theories
and classic studies are combined with contemporary research and culturally
diverse perspectives for a modern introduction to the field that is both
comprehensive and concise. Visual overviews, case studies, and critical thinking
questions encourage self-reflection and class discussion, ensuring students have
the tools they need to apply course concepts to their lives and future
