The Story of Development Told through the Lives of Real People
More than a textbook, Scientific American: Lifespan Development (a chronological approach) is a suite of interactive materials that encompasses the full scope of human experience and makes culture central to every chapter. Contemporary science and real-life applications unite in this unique story-telling approach to human development, built around Scientific American-style stories of 17 individuals and families from communities across the United States.
This collaboration between experienced researchers Allison Sidle Fuligni and Andrew Fuligni and writer/producer Jessica Bayne is designed to meet the needs of today’s students and instructors, and is built around five approaches that scaffold students’ understanding of developmental science.
