Review

"I really like Berger’s writing style. It is not as dry as most textbooks. In my opinion, her writing style holds the interest of the reader, and she makes good use of visuals to help readers understand the content. The research is current, and so the content is current and relevant."

― Laurie A. Bulock, Michigan State University

"Kathleen Berger's Life Span text provides an engaging, comprehensive, and updated coverage of the life span, emphasizing the multidisciplinary nature of the field."

― Virginia Tompkins, The Ohio State University - Lima

"Berger's book is a great text for covering the lifespan, because it is written from the bio-psycho-social perspective and is detailed, comprehensive, interactive, and approachable for students. Berger's writing style is truly engaging, as I often hear from students. Her coverage of multidisciplinary perspectives and research is one of the key reasons I continue to use this text."

―Melissa Cannon, Western Oregon University

"I have used this text since I began teaching the course 25 years ago. We have continued to adopt it because students find it very engaging, readable, and interesting. They feel they can hear the voice of Dr. Berger, and they like her. We have evaluated a few other texts and considered changing several times but other texts seem dry by comparison and do not have the same emphasis on application of concepts to everyday life."

―Catherine Deering, Clayton State University
