This text emphasizes "applied/real-life" issues related to human development, allowing students to make connections between the material world and the world around them. Throughout the text multicultural and gender issues are examined. The book covers many new topics; some of these include genetic testing, ethnic factors in identity formation, bilingual education, imaginary playmates, and varying cultural reactions to the menopause. Also discussed are prenatal hazards and their effects on foetal development, and the effects of day-care on development. The implications of the impact of AIDS on both children and adults are covered, as are children's reactions to death and cross-cultural and multi-cultural attitudes to death.

From the Publisher:
Innovative Pedagogical Learning System new to this edition helps students build upon their knowledge as they move through each chapter and test their mastery of the text content. Components include:
Guideposts are learning objectives stated as broad overview questions to help students begin the chapter thinking about specific ideas and issues. Guideposts are repeated in the chapter margins next to the corresponding text discussion and again at the end of the chapter for student review.
Checkpoints are questions that appear periodically within the text to help students check their mastery of the material.
What do you think? give students the opportunity to answer questions geared to help them personalize the important and relevant topics and issues in each chapter.
