Human Development

This book, Human Development, has reflected some of what we have learned along the way. The fifth edition retains much of the flavor of earlier editons, especially in its emphasis on interrelationships among the different stages of the life span and among physical, intellectual, social, and personality development. There are, however, a number of differences. The changes in this revision continue to represent growth and development in our own thinking, as we present human development from the moment of conception until that moment at the other end of the life span when death ends the continuing process.
