Not that great...
| Customer Rating:   | | I was truly looking forward to my Lifespan and Development class until I looked at this book. Yes, it is helpful in that it has important terms on the margins. However, many times is does not into enough detail with a lot of psych issues. There are little blurbs or paragraphs about some things, but it mainly a repetiton of theories (Biosocial, Psychoanalytic, Behaviorist, Cognitive...) from Intro to Psych. It does not get into specifics about anything. The book can also be confusing in how it presents the information. I am alarmed by how very narrow minded the author(s) of the book are about psychology in different cultures. Most of the chapters have little (if nothing at all) about cultural differences in childrearing, dicipline technniques, nutrition, aging, etc. It is all based on American ideals of how kids should be raised and what it is to be normal. Where are the other viewpoints? I am very disappointed with this book and the class in general. I was looking forward to so much more. |
A shame this is used in educational settings
| Customer Rating: | | Not a very science-based textbook. Filled with author bias, assumptions, and outdated stereotypes. Downright infuriating read for those with a social conscious. It's lucky for the author this is required reading. |
Book
| Customer Rating: | | Excellent service - I needed the book shipped overnight and the vendor delivered. Great!!!! Thanks |
Worst book ever published
| Customer Rating: | We are using this book for a required Psyc class.
It is one of the worst written books; it is wordy, hidden agenda and very very poor in communicating key issues,concepts and ideas.
Forget about the testing, the testing is abstract and most of the questions have nothing to do with the text, key concepts or ideas. Instead you feel like a game show contestant looking for the HIDDEN responses the computer generated test wants. Most of the time the question and answer are subjective or percentages that have no use what so ever.
Example: The lady in the picture is a good mom. then you get a-d. all you have to go by is a picture.
Do not wast your time or money. |
Fantastic!
| Customer Rating: | | This was a great textbook...maybe the best I've used yet. I was looking forward to my human development class anyway but this book made it even better. It was well written, easy to read, excellent anecdotes and side stories that you could read or save for later. It gave great ideas for writing papers and was extremely well organized. I loved it and think that anyone who is interested in human development (class or no class) should read this text. |
