I've used Cengage books before, and the promised study tools were difficult to access. It's gotten much much worse. There are practice quizzes promised inside the book itself, but the website [...] only leads to options where a student must pay for the tools. Even when I selected the free resources button, I again landed on the order page. I'm pragmatic. I considered, and decided to spend the $12 for the study tools. On checkout, they were going to charge me $120 for the electronic book and study tools. Upon closer examination, the fine print reads that the study tools are only available to students who purchase the books from Cengage. REALLY? This stinks of conflict of interest. Are these books intended for institutions of higher learning? Unimpressed, frustrated, and even furious. Don't promise something you won't deliver.Apologies to a great author, Spencer A. Rathus. The book content is beautifully laid out. I simply CANNOT abide the practices of this publisher.Teri Reade
If this textbook is to be used for an overview class (either intro or start of a series) then the book is great. However there is quite a bit that is simply mentioned and never brought up again. For example, in the parts that deal with cognitive, social, and emotional developments there are several theories discussed, but some seem to be favored, specifically Piaget's which is broken down well along with Freud's and Erikson's. Other theories don't receive as much attention or seem to be glossed over. I think the other aspects of development are covered fairly well and I enjoyed reading the book.
i like the book especially since i need it for college, but i just hate how its loose leaf and not bonded together. great price, but hate all the loose papers
It has been useful in my class, glad I haven't had to pay the full price at the school bookstore.
It all worked out well. I am ready to return it now. It was a rental.
Needed for class it came on time and aids with the instructors notes
The book arrived in great condition as stated in the book description. It is exactly what I needed, and came in the time that I was stated in the shipping details.
Easy book to understand and read. I needed this book for my Child Development class.
