In The Essentials of Lifespan Development, best-selling author Tara L. Kuther examines the ways in which contexts—culture, society, socioeconomic status, home, family, and even community—impact each stage of a person's life. With its chronological organization, highly relatable examples, and vivid cross-cultural stories, Kuther connects the latest cutting-edge research to learners’ experiences and interdisciplinary career aspirations. Integrated examples; routine critical thinking questions; and a 16-chapter organization helps make the book engaging and accessible for all students.
