Great price, but be sure you are getting what you need

Customer Rating:

Price was very good on this book, $40 less than at the school bookstore! No access code is included for MyDevelopmentLab, although the book is the MyDevelopmentLab series. My school didn't require that I have internet lab access, so for this class it was perfect - a lot less than the bookstore for the identical product, with no access code in either place. Not so with the statistic text I bought. I was required to have MyMathLab access, so even though I still got a better over all price buying through Amazon, I had to buy an access code from the lab site for an additional $25. If I had bought that text at the bookstore, it would have been bundled with the code.

VERY INFORMATIVE	Customer Rating:
I USED THIS BOOK FOR AN ONLINE COURSE AND I FOUND IT VEY INTERESTING AND INFORMATIVE.I LIKED THE WAY IT HAS THE CHAPTER REVIEWS AT THE END OF EACH CHAPTER SO YOU CAN LOOK BACK ON WHAT YOU READ AND PULL OUT THE IMPORTANT ASPECTS.

Racist, Sexist, Dismissive of Anything but Biology

Customer Rating:

Feldman's "well-researched" book is a classic human development book, written from a rich white man's view. He does very little to express race and gender as anything but biology. These two things are sociological constructs in addition to being somewhat biologically based. In my world, half-truths are still lies. This book has a lot of pictures of people from different cultures, with different phenotypes, et cetera. It does not walk the walk or talk the talk of a socially responsible take on human development and psychology. For instance he uses Freud to speak of gender roles- a man who named an entire stage of human development after the penis. Just a poor read overall. It felt like going back to high school biology class. Not much more than a survey book.

Wrong edition	Customer Rating:
I was not pleased with the item received - it was supposed to be the 4th Edition, however I received the 3rd Edition. I did buy a new one and received credit for this, however it took longer than expected to finally get the correct book/edition.
