How Children Develop

Renting vs. Buying This Textbook

Renting is usually cheapest if you only need the book for one term: you return it with a free prepaid label when the term ends. Buying used can beat renting when the sell-back price is high, so compare the sell-back price with the rental price before you decide. An eTextbook arrives instantly but usually expires. Rentals and used copies rarely include working access codes.

Always match the ISBN on your syllabus (9781319014230) before you order; different editions have different ISBNs.

About This Book

How children develop has established itself as the topically organised textbook teachers and researchers trust for the most up-to-date perspectives on child development. The authors, each a well-known scientist and educator, have earned that trust by introducing core concepts and impactful discoveries with an unparalleled integration of theory, cultural research, and applications - all in style that is authoritative yet immediately understandable and relevant to students. The new edition has been rigorously updated and welcomes co-author Elizabeth Gershoff, who brings a breadth of research and teaching experience to the discussions of social and emotional development. It is also more interactive than ever before, with richer integration between the book and its interactive study features in LaunchPad. -- From the back cover
