Summary: Very brief explanations of Life Span stages
Review: Although the book is very colorful and has many articles that can help people use the knowledge in everyday life, the chapters (divided into life stages) are very sketchy and have very little new knowledge for college-aged students.
Rating: 
Summary: The book is nicely articulated and well organized.
Review: I found the book to be a wonderful resource, and it is filled with an abundance of significant information. The book also presents a great understanding of lifespan development and articulates the knowledge in a clear way. College students should find it an easy read, along with many nice pictures and helpful tables.

Summary: Wonderful Educational Resource
Review: This book describes the very essence of life in a definite and distinctive way. There are no underlying factors or confusing verbage. The reader can simply investigate a topic of interest while receiving the information in its complete totality.The format of this book is simply wonderful. Santrock does an excellent job in allowing the reader to not only expand upon early life-span development . . . But he also introduces the reader to the various theories that helped shaped life-span development. In this book you learn of Vygotsky, Erickson, and Piaget and many, many others. I personally found this book to be of great help during my graduate studies. It provided me with practically everything that I needed on the subject of "development" and was a #1 source of reference in all practicums and papers. I am exceedingly happy that this book has renewed another edition and look forward to adding this updated version to my already sprawling collection.
