With Macmillan’s superior content delivered by LaunchPad (comprehensive course) or Achieve Read & Practice (e-book + online homework), Kathleen Berger’s breakthrough text tells a compelling story of life-span development via a topically organized approach.


This is not a reorganized iteration of another Berger textbook, but rather a fully reconceived first edition exploring human development topic by topic.
