This brief, affordable paperback includes downloadable flashcards that allow students to study wherever they are, whenever they have time.

HDEV is an extremely concise, visually appealing new text that traces development from infancy through late adulthood without any delays or distractions. I didn't buy the book new, but it was in the best shape, none of the pages were missing, and it was worth the money. The sales and delivery transaction was quick and delivered before anticipated date. Thank you for your professionalism. It is a good textbook and a cheap one; other psychology books go for more.
