Invitation to the Life Span

Another top-seller from celebrated author Kathleen Stassen Berger, Invitation to the Life Span (ISBN 9780716754664) is published by Worth Publishers, Inc. and focuses on distilling the broad topic of human development (and the science behind it) into clear, easily comprehensible chapters. It is easily one of the most referenced materials in the field of psychology and is truly an enjoyable read from cover to cover. Not a typical university textbook, Invitation to the Life Span is written using Kathleen Stassen Berger's own perspective, giving readers a glimpse of her life as a teacher and her experience as an integral part of a family. It allows readers to fully relate to the subject of psychology instead of detaching themselves from it. Invitation to the Life Span provokes readers to reflect on questions about themselves and their personal issues as well. This concise and surprisingly entertaining book is divided into 15 chapters, each of which covers the answers to the concerns and issues that both students and professors encounter while studying the human life span and human development in the course of a semester. It uses an easy to understand psychological perspective that is easily comprehended by college students and continues to be relevant for industry professionals. Perhaps the best aspect of this material is that it unabashedly shows the author's personal touch, refreshing honesty, and apparent curiosity, which ultimately helps readers use the same observation and critical thinking in their own lives. This must-read textbook comes with handy supplementary materials to broaden the learning experience and facilitate self-study in the challenging domain of developmental psychology.
