Klappentext Integrates findings from biological and social sciences to form a holistic view of human development. Zusammenfassung A full understanding of the developmental process in individuals requires contributions from disciplines including developmental biology and psychology! physiology! neuropsychology! social psychology! sociology! and anthropology. This ambitious and wide-ranging book integrates the findings from these and related areas to form a holistic view of human development from conception to death. Inhaltsverzeichnis 1.
