New to this Edition
A new "Refocus" section at the end of each chapter revisits the chapter-opening "Focus Vignette," helping students relate what they’ve learned within the chapter to the well-known person profiled in the vignette.
Expanded coverage of adult development and aging reflects current research and applications in the study of this growing segment of the population.
Coverage of death and dying now appears in the concluding chapter of the text ("The End of Life"), rather than in the epilogue.
A new student CD-ROM is packaged free with each new copy of the text! Features include audio and video clips that expand on in-text material, decision-making scenarios that help students apply what they’ve learned to parenting, nursing, and education, and test preparation questions that provide immediate feedback and text references.
The Online Learning Center now includes PowerWeb! PowerWeb is a password-protected website that includes current articles, weekly updates with assessment, informative and timely world news, refereed Web links, interactive exercises, and much more. A PowerWeb access card is free with each new copy of the text.
