Life-Span Development 14th Edition

Just like my other textbook, I like the fact that I can carry with me only the pages I need, however these pages are also thin and tear easily.Overall,I am satisfied with my purchase.

The delivery was late and there were no issues with the weather. Amazon should let people know that the shipping method was going to be with UPS when people use Amazon Prime. It is a very poor shipping method if you work in a busy profession(law enforcement, medical/doctor/nurse, my profession...corrections! ) I received a damaged copy of the same book from an authorized seller in which I never do business with again and it is taking this person a long time to refund my money through Amazon. Let alone, these late deliveries are going to cause me my grade in GRAD SCHOOL! As for the book, the publisher McGraw/Hill could have made this book a simple paperback or hard cover book. Students are going to suffer in their pocket books buying or renting these over priced text books. In the future, I will just order other types of merchandise that does not relate to school through Amazon. I know for a fact that I will NEVER use Amazon Prime again because I don't have the time and day to flag down an overworked, disrespectful delivery person. Shame on you McGraw/Hill! For selling a ridiculously designed loose leaf book. Amazon, you guys need to have better delivery options for busy customers especially if you are unable to guarantee prompt deliveries. UPS, that is another review that will take all day and night to complete. This review may long, but every hardworking consumer needs to know about this matter. Note: three stars were given because of the good packaging. The looks of the book, Amazon Prime delivery and UPS involvement with the delivery is 1 star in secrecy!

This book was required for a sophomore level college psychology class. It is an excellent book with wonderful illustrations, graphs, and charts. It also provides great definitions. The explanations are terrific and really walk you through life span development. The only negative thing I have say about the book is that it's loose leaf (yep, loose leaf) and costs a lot of money!!

I had to read this for school. The leaflet pages kept ripping which was very inconvenient.

Why, why, why would you make a $200 book a lose-leaf book? I find it ridiculous. I'm super careful reading it, but the pages are already ripping and falling out. It's basically 1-person book, I don't know if I will be able to sell it when I'm done with the course.On the other hand, there is a lot of information, some useful, some not so much. I looked through previous editions of this book and I like them much better.

Bought for a class.

The binder rings were bent, making it difficult to turn the pages and the front cover was raggedy.In addition to having to wait for the book, I had to pick it up at the post office, which was a big inconvenience for me.

this book worked out great for my brother. the only problem they was not a whole book. it was all loose pages. which was not that great
