Lifespan Development: A Topical Approach, 5th Edition, is a textbook by Robert S. Feldman that examines human growth across the entire lifespan. By organizing material around distinct developmental themes rather than chronological age brackets, the text enables readers to follow continuous developmental threads throughout life.
Coverage centers on broad areas of physical, cognitive, and social and emotional development. Across these domains, the text addresses how biological foundations, intellectual capabilities, and personal relationships unfold from early development through death and dying.
To link developmental theory with everyday contexts, updated chapter-opening prologues tie subject matter to contemporary issues, introducing chapter topics through real-world matters such as gender identity.
