Development Across the Life Span, is be approximately 20% shorter than traditional lifespan books and organized topically .

Life Span Development: A Topical Approach maintains the student friendliness that has been the hallmark of Feldman's other development textbooks. It is rich in examples and illustrates the applications that can be derived from the research and theory of lifespan developmentalists. It pays particular attention to the applications that can be drawn from theory and research in the field.

To optimize student learning and to provide instructors with maximum flexibility, the book uses a modular approach. Consequently, rather than facing long, potentially daunting chapters, students encounter material that is divided into smaller, more manageable chunks (modules). Presenting material in small chunks represents a structure that research long ago found to be optimum for promoting learning.

This book is available with MyDevelopmentLab, which includes a full eText, videos, self-tests, flashcards, and MyVirtualChild- the interactive simulation which allows you to raise a virtual child from birth to age 18, and monitor the effects of your parenting decisions. MyDevelopmentLab does not come automatically with the text so please be sure you check to ensure that an access code is included before placing your order! (The book by itself has a different ISBN number than the book + MyDevelopmentLab.) You can also purchase a MyDevelopmentLab access code online at www.mydevelopmentlab.com
