For those of you looking for "The Developing Person Through the Lifespan" 9th Ed, this is it! It is a loose leaf version, meaning that it has NO binding but it has 3 holes so you can put it in a sturdy binder. While that may be a deterrent for some, price-wise this was a win for me!

This new version came out this year so my professor decided to change his class to what is in this new edition. Bummer for me since renting the 8th edition from was only going to cost $30. Now I was looking at renting it for $100 on or paying $180+ to buy. Neither choice appealed to me so when I found the looseleaf I jumped on the deal. I mean, if Im going to pay $100 to rent, might as well cough up another $20 to own it, right? With no photo though I was hesitant to do it. Luckily for me it’s EXACTLY what I need and I saved some cash.

So if you are looking for this book for your Psychology class and don’t want to pay more than you have to, get this! Just get a sturdy binder and be sure to pass along this knowledge so your fellow classmates dont have to keep lining the pockets of the authors of these overpriced books!

The pages for Chapter 7 and some of Chapter 8 are all folded and stuck together. The content is nice, but the print job was not well done for such an expensive book that was purchases brand new.

This book has been revised so many times that it appears the formatting of lists and detailed information has been forgotten. On several occasions, there are lists of two items in the text, then in the questions it will ask for three items for that topic. The writing is too chatty in places, and vague or repetitive in others. The information is muddled in far too many layers of explanation.
There is far too much in the way of social commentary as well. Although I think I agree with the author’s opinions, there is no need for them in this text. Her addition of that kind of commentary makes this book about 30% longer than it could be and probably make more sense.
The book also appears to be trying to reach out to more different fields than is practical. Questions in the margin are directed to law enforcement, teachers, nurses, medical personnel, psychiatrists, judges, public servants of all sorts, etc., etc., etc.
As an older student, I find this text extraordinarily frustrating to have to work with. If the questions on my tests are based on the questions in the book, and the questions in the book are very poorly written, or based on partial information in the text, that affects my grade. I am not exactly pleased with that outcome. I’ve been trained to design evaluation material, and know I could do much better writing this text.
