Discovering the Lifespan provides a broad overview of the field of human development and features a strong balance of research and application. In a unique departure from traditional lifespan development texts, each chapter is divided into three modules, and in turn, each module is divided into several smaller sections. Consequently, students encounter material in smaller, more manageable chunks that optimize learning.

Discovering the Lifespan also provides students with an engaging, meaningful experience that is rich in examples and illustrates current applications derived from the research and theory of lifespan developmentalists.
