[It is] well written, with necessary psychological, biological and medical terms utilized throughout, appropriate use of examples and clear connections to everyday life.”--Michael Foy, John Abbott College “Comprehensive yet concise. Current and interesting material.”--Laura Loewen, Okanagan College “This text does a great job at presenting an updated summary of Psychology research in the area of human development. Especially impressive is the breadth of Canadian information.”--Andrew Starzomski, Saint Mary’s University “I feel that it is one of the better texts that are on the market.

As well, the support materials for both my students and myself have been well done and greatly facilitate the teaching and learning process.”--Judith Grad, Concordia University “I was very impressed with [the 4th Canadian edition].
