Child Development by Laura E Levine
Although the field of child and adolescent development seems to be an easy one in which to provide active learning opportunities to students, few textbooks currently exist that actually do this.
"The authors can be commended for their ability to explain very complex concepts in a way that almost anyone can understand without oversimplifying or leaving out essential details" -- Jessica Dennis 20101018 "My students and I are loving using the book. We love it - it is very interactive." -- Dr. Grace Jepkemboi 20110314 "I really like the active learning exercises. I think this is one of the major ways the text is superior to other texts I have used." -- Claire Novosad 20101019
