Exploring Lifespan Development (3rd Edition) (Berk

Book was in great quality, however, I do not suggest this for people who are clumsy. I personally have been destroying this book due to the pages being loose leaf. Even though I have it set up in a large binder, I have been ripping pages out left and right by simply leaning on it.

I used this for Developmental Psychology, it was well organized with each age span broken down into two chapters for clarity. It was a great resource, I actually found information that applied to other classes I was taking.

I only purchased this overpriced bundle of papers because it was required for the course I was taking. The textbook itself is fine, but I don't see what's so special about it that it justifies shelling out eighty bucks for it. Left-wing professors shed crocodile tears over the poor and vulnerable, but stay silent as universities and textbook companies try to squeeze every last penny out of students. I even wonder if some instructors aren't enjoying kickbacks from textbook companies for requiring their textbooks.

At first I thought this was a ridiculously cheap way to profit off a book. But I have no idea why this was never done before. It is so handy to take a chapter at a time and not the whole book. I bought my A&P book like this too. The only downside I see is the hole punches tearing, but reinforcements are cheap and I just keep some handy in the folder pocket.

The information is there, but it was awful to read. What a terribly written book! I wonder if my professor ever had to read a page of it. She would have thrown it in the trash. I am English tutor and there are more appealing ways to present information.

This book is good for basic educational purposes but does not pose useful to advance level classes. It covers basic commonalities throughout the lifespan for all ages, yet goes into great detail about the work of Piaget, Erikson, and several other psychologists. While these pose useful, the theories provided overpower the content that could have otherwise been useful. It is often vague in concepts, making it difficult for the reader to identify key points. The glossary does not involve all of the content in the book, and is particularly useless in terms of theorists. This book also provides opinions and scenarios from the author, which is not overly scholarly or useful. I would not recommend this book for college level education.

I ordered this book and the cover was different. It's the correct book, but because it has a different cover on it, i'm having trouble re-selling it. I wish I would have recieved the book that was in the picture of the add.

I placed my order yesterday afternoon and my book was here next day. It arrived just in time for class. This text is approximately $150.00 cheaper than the one at the campus bookstore. I will definitely purchase from you again.

Thanks a million!!!!!
