Carol K. Sigelman (B.A., Carleton College; M.A. and Ph.D., George Peabody College for Teachers at Vanderbilt University) is professor and chair of psychology at George Washington University (GWU), where she also served as an associate vice president for 13 years. She was on the faculty at Texas Tech University, Eastern Kentucky University, and the University of Arizona before coming to GWU. She has taught courses in child, adolescent, adult, and life-span development and has published research on such topics as the communication skills of individuals with developmental disabilities, the development of stigmatizing reactions to children and adolescents who are different, children's emerging understandings of diseases and psychological disorders, and communication in military families separated by deployment.

Known for its clear, straightforward writing style, comprehensive coverage, strong and current research-based approach, and excellent visuals and tables, this life-span development text offers a topical organization at the chapter level and a consistent chronological presentation within each chapter. Each chapter focuses on a domain of development such as physical growth, cognition, or personality, and traces developmental trends and influences in that domain from infancy to old age. Within each chapter, you will find sections on four life stages: infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. This unique organization enables students to comprehend the processes of transformation that occur in key areas of human development. Another staple of the text is its emphasis on theories and how they apply to specific topics in each chapter. This new edition also asks students to engage more actively with the content, and includes a clear focus on the complex interactions of nature and nurture in development, more integrated coverage of culture and diversity, and an exciting new media package for both students and instructors.

but it has a lot of information and pictures and seems pretty well-organized. Textbook for a class I'm taking... It's ok , the authors seem a bit fixated on Erik Erikson, but it has a lot of information and pictures and seems pretty well-organized.Useless information but a must if you wan t to buy the diploma. I needed it for a course. Thank GOD I was able to rent and not buy. More useless information forced upon us by the colleges stealing our money-It looks like several previous renters treated the book as if it ... The copy I received is heavily highlighted and marked throughout making it difficult to read. It looks like several previous renters treated the book as if it was a one time use workbook, answering the questions and writing in notes. Btw, the answers are wrong so the idiot marked out the books correct answer and challenged it. Very annoying and distracting to have received a book in this condition. Next time I'll just buy a clean copy. This is not worth the money saved.
