Welcome to the SAGE edge site for The Essentials of Lifespan Development, First Edition!

In The Essentials of Lifespan Development, best-selling author Tara L. Kuther examines the ways in which contexts—culture, society, socioeconomic status, home, family, and even community—impact each stage of a person's life. Using highly relatable examples and vivid cross-cultural stories, Dr. Kuther connects the latest cutting-edge research to learners’ experiences and interdisciplinary career aspirations. A chronological 16-chapter organization; chunked content; and routine critical thinking practice help to make the book inviting and accessible for all students.
