The Handbook of Life-Span Development, Vol 1

In the past fifty years, scholars of human development have been moving from studying change in humans within sharply defined periods, to analyzing this change over time and in relation to other processes. This two-volume set presents the study of human development conducted by the best scholars in the 21st century. Social workers, counselors, and public health workers will benefit from complete coverage of the biological, cognitive, social, and emotional aspects of human change across the lifespan.
