This is basically a textbook on Educational Psychology. Inside contains theories such as Piaget's Cognitive Theory, Vygotsky's Zone of Proximal Development, Ivan Pavlov's conditioning, multiple intelligence and some others.

This book also may not make you an effective teacher yet. This is an important book but there are still many other important books on teaching and communication in classroom.… (more)

Not impressed. Read the book for an Intro to Development course. It's concise. I am not sure if this would be helpful to someone who is studying for the GRE Psychology Subject or not. The class wasn't great either.

An impressively readable textbook, Life-Span Development covers all aspects of the human condition, from conception through death with comprehensive detail. For anyone longing to understand a child, adolescent, teen, midlife crisis or end of life issues, this book offers a thoughtful and helpful guide through the changes we undergo in life's journeys. Recommended reading, even when not required for coursework.
