Help students understand how culture impacts development- and why it matters.
Through current research and examples of human development around the world, Arnett’s Human Development teaches students to think culturally about their own development and see how it applies to their own lives and future careers.
New U.S. and international videos, shot in several countries, allow students to observe similarities and differences in human development across cultures. Video Guides are included in each chapter, at the end of each section. Students can quickly scan the Video Guide’s “QR code” and link directly to a short video clip using their smart phone. Videos are also available on MyDevelopmentLab.

Review
This is the best book that I have seen that genuinely integrates cross-cultural perspectives throughout the chapter while covering the content in way that
is meaningful to the lives of the readers.
–RUSSELL SEARIGHT, Lake Superior State University
This text is a necessity in our diverse society. It's organized very well; one doesn’t feel overwhelmed processing the information given. Visual support materials are incredibly helpful in keeping students’ interest on the subject.
–VOLKAN SAHIN, Weber State University
I am most excited about how well the text is written, how cultural aspects of development have been fully integrated, and the video clips that I would incorporate into my lectures.
–MINHNOI WROBLE BIGLAN, Chatham University
It discusses developmental topics viewed from a cultural perspective in a way that is integrated–it doesn't feel tacked-on at the end–non-judgmental and balanced.
–SUSAN HALL, Pepperdine University
Today and tomorrow’s teachers will have a more diverse population in their centers and we can only be effective teachers when we understand a person’s cultural.
–MARLENE WELCH, Carroll Community College
I love the cross-cultural information. I believe that this text presents information that my students are not aware of in a way that is interesting and thought provoking. I think many of the cultural examples would spark an interesting class discussion. I would love to present this information in my classroom!
–LAURA RINGER, Newberry College
The integrated videos in each chapter really bring home the material so that students can really ‘see’ what they’ve learned.
–PAMELA COSTA, Tacoma Community College
