Research Stories for Lifespan Development
This book takes a scientific approach to the study of human development by exploring the chronology of the lifespan.Each of the thirty-two chapters is a separate research "story," telling why the study was done, what was done, and what the results tell us about development.  The primary goal of this book is to help students learn to be intellectually critical, by reading contemporary research literature on human development and evaluating the assertions that are made.   For psychologists, educators, or anyone interested in learning more about lifespan development.
