McGraw-Hill Education Australia ebook Human Development

Building on the consistent success of the previous editions of this text, Human Development: Family, Place, Culture 2e includes, for the first time, internationally recognised scholars and researchers in Human Development as co-authors on some chapters. Reflecting the need for current, culturally relevant material, this text also includes commentaries on key issues written by a number of local contributors. This edition reflects the increasingly international importance of both the subject, Human Development, and of research carried out in New Zealand. Writing from their position in Aotearoa New Zealand, the authors discuss the human lifespan in a chronological order to ensure a solid conceptual foundation, using interesting examples that are of contemporary international relevance. This edition has improved pedagogy to help students revise and apply the knowledge they are learning. Each chapter features activities designed to promote critical thinking, discussion, teamwork and application skills, allowing students to engage with the core concepts of human development on a deeper level.
