Review

This is the best book that I have seen that genuinely integrates cross-cultural perspectives throughout the chapter while covering the content in way that

is meaningful to the lives of the readers.

â RUSSELL SEARIGHT, Lake Superior State University

This text is a necessity in our diverse society. It's organized very well; one doesnâ t feel overwhelmed processing the information given. Visual support materials are incredibly helpful in keeping studentsâ interest on the subject.

â VOLKAN SAHIN, Weber State University

I am most excited about how well the text is written, how cultural aspects of development have been fully integrated, and the video clips that I would incorporate into my lectures.
â MINHNOI WROBLE BIGLAN, Chatham University

It discusses developmental topics viewed from a cultural perspective in a way that is integratedâ it doesn't feel tacked-on at the endâ non-judgmental and balanced.

â SUSAN HALL, Pepperdine University

Today and tomorrowâ s teachers will have a more diverse population in their centers and we can only be effective teachers when we understand a personâ s cultural.

â MARLENE WELCH, Carroll Community College

I love the cross-cultural information. I believe that this text presents information that my students are not aware of in a way that is interesting and thought provoking. I think many of the cultural examples would spark an interesting class discussion. I would love to present this information in my classroom!

â LAURA RINGER, Newberry College

The integrated videos in each chapter really bring home the material so that students can really â seeâ what theyâ ve learned.

â PAMELA COSTA, Tacoma Community College
