THINK Human Development

THINK Human Development covers the essentials every human development student should know. The chapters are briefer than a standard introductory text, allowing for a lower cost to students and using less printed paper. THINK Human Development includes 18 chapters of content, giving instructors the flexibility to choose what they want to cover without the worry that skipping several chapters will mean leaving out hundreds of pages of content.

THINK Human Development provides currency and relevance through design, current examples and high-interest readings. The readings have been chosen from a range of well respected journals and popular press publications. With the concise presentation of material in the chapters, instructors have the option of incorporating these readings and helping students connect to issues occurring outside of the classroom.

An engaging visual design developed with the benefit of extensive student feedback will appeal to students and deliver the key concepts of Human Development in a way they can understand.
