Life Span The Pearson New International Edition Human Development for Helping Professionals eBook Patricia C Broderick Pamela Blewitt
Once again, a book that needs to be re-written instead of a quick face lift to justify the "new edition" cost to students. Good intro-level material, great graphics, but when you look at the references in some sections, they are quite dated. And I get that sometimes a classic study has to be cited. This isn't the same thing.Chapter 7 says: "much recent attention has been paid ..." and that "recent" attention? 1992. That's TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, PEOPLE!! And later sections on "developing identity and diverse groups," the citations are likewise from the 1990s.
Check this out: in the entire book, 699 pages, there are only 7 mentions of racism, 1 mention of sexism, zero of feminism. In a book about human development.
Another problem: this is a SCIENCE book, a text that urges us to rely on the scientific method and not on magical thinking. Why is the refutation of the linkage of autism to vaccines so weak? There is NO linkage between autism and vaccines; there IS a linkage between outbreaks of preventable diseases and states that allow parents to easily opt out of vaccinations. The footnotes in this section date to 2007 more or less.
At least they come out for evolution.

Life Span The Pearson New International Edition Human Development for Helping Professionals eBook Patricia C Broderick Pamela Blewitt Reviews
This thorough textbook is designed to teach principles of human development from birth to death. With an extensive and up-to-date research base, the book effectively provides an array of information from which anyone can learn. I find myself quoting information from the book on a regular basis because the content is so interesting and useful.
There is solid online support to help students learn the information.
The book's emphasis on professionals in psychology could be better adapted to profesisonals working in special education as one of the helping professions. And whle the authors have a fluent writing style, the print is too small to read easily. The publisher used small print with wide text lines (instead of consistent columns), color behind print for poor contrast, and little white space between lines, which means that the professor who wants to adapt to learners with visual challenges will need to find another book.
Excellent information, which is downright fascinating.
I think is pretty well written, and while its information dense, it's also an interesting read. However, this lost 2 stars for me because it's a pain to scroll through, and hard to highlight properly without it sticking and highlighting things that you don't want it to. And, it seems a little ridiculous to not include access to video content that is shown. i can see the video links, but they simply don't play. If the video links actually played, this would have been a much better resource in my opinion.
Warning!!! There is a limit to how many times you can read/download the book. I delivered the textbook to my kindle app on my macbook and I wanted to download it to my kindle app on my ipad since that is where I do most of my reading but it won't let me! Even if I delete the book from my computer it will not allow me to download to my ipad (or any other device). So basically wherever you deliver it to make sure that is the one and only place you want to access the book because it locks where you can read the book after the first download.
I would not recommend buying this book in kindle form. All of the wonderful advantages of reading are incompatible for this text, there is no text to speech and the text comes out so small that you need a magnifying glass to read with. Further Pearson's publishing is so concerned that they might miss out on a buck that you can only have two copies and for most of us that is a real pain because we have several devices. Thus the book isn't portable.
UPDATE I recently re-purchased this book in kindle, after purchasing it last year in hardcover with Pearson e-access. True to form, Pearson again tries to rake customers by forcing to limit access to only two devices. For me that means having to choose whether to put it on my laptop, phone, desktop, or tablet, rather than having access on any device. At least with 's kindle version, I can keep the ebook permanently, something that was not possible with Pearson's version.
This book is very dense and full of information, it is a good resource for counselors and others interested in lifelong human development. Broderick and Blewitt do a fine job explaining the nuances of each period of the life span. It is the publisher - Pearson - who does a horrible job in providing access for clients. I don't see the Pearson ebook offered by any more, which is a good thing. Of course none of the supplementary materials are available with the kindle and hard copy versions, but those materials are not necessary. I recommend this book, but only in hard copy or 's kindle version. Pearson can keep their etext, you - the reader - don't need it.
PREVIOUS REVIEW Buyer beware! I bought this book packaged with the e-access card thinking it would be a good text to retain for professional practice. The hard copy book is fine, however the ebook requires a proprietary app and access expires in 6 months. No where in the description does it say that e-access is limited in any way. The only reason I bought the hardcopy/e-access package was so I could have and keep both. Pearson eText is poorly done, as others reviewers have said. But is usually much better than this. I am very disappointed. For this particular book, save a little bit and buy a hardcopy. The additional cost of the ebook is not worth it. A version or pdf would be much better.
