Description
This innovative book presents a new theoretical perspective which effectively explains the processes of lifespan development from birth through to old age. By considering the challenges we face, the resources we possess and the risks we take, the authors propose a simple framework which ties all the different stages of the lifespan together. Supported by international research findings, this holistic perspective considers the phases of the life course across time periods and cultural boundaries.
