It is a good book overall for anyone who either needs it for a psychology class or is interested in working with children. It is very useful and has a lot of useful facts, plus the price is a steal for a brand new copy.
They do not make this clear at all but this is the international version. Which means you can't resale it. If you are planning on keeping it this is the way to go because it's cheeper. If not don't buy this version!
Compared to the textbooks from other classes, this one is structured with very neat and easy to follow through organization. I doubt I have much say in whether or not you purchase this book- it seems to be based off of what your professor's syllabus asks, but if you do need a cheap text book in good condition, go to this book store. I wish I could have kept this to read for my own amusement but I bought it ultimately for a friend.
The paperback version is nice because it's cheaper... but after reading it, I think I would prefer the hard cover. Paperback books of a small size are fine, but this one is too large to work as a paperback. I have a hard time reading it because if I put it on my lap it sort of flops over and I can't see the whole page.As to the content... I found it to be a little insulting. A lot of the points the text makes are sort of trite and obvious. It says things like "children are our future." This is true, but it doesn't seem like something that needs to be said in a college level textbook.It looks pretty, with nice pictures and quotes in the margins, but there just doesn't seem to be much substance. I think a topic as interesting as child development should have a more interesting book.
This book is well illustrated and has great information for people interested in child psycholgy. I like how it is wriiten and how they use photos to help describe and illlustrate the topics and subjects. It is easy to read, has so much valuble information and is an excellent read for any college student majoring in psychology or for anyone interested in children and how they develop both physically and psychologically.
I ordered this book for my daughter for one of her classes. Getting the book from cost us much less than getting the book through the school bookstore. The shipping was very fast as well. I will definitely use for school books again in the future.
Warning! Although it says hardcover in parenthesis, IT IS NOT HARD COVER NOR DOES IT COME IN A BINDER!!! It just comes saran wrapped and the slightest tug on the suran wrap and they will not return it! Had to return it in which it took 2 weeks and had to order the hard cover WHICH IS THE SAME PRICE! Dont waste your $$$!
I ordered this book as a loose leaf book because it was advertised as one. I was sent a soft cover book that contains all black and white pictures. There is no color at all. This book was disapointing. Please be careful when ordering your books. I give this book one star.
