Great book about the theories of developmental psychology. Well organized and clearly explains every single theory. It also contains the author's evaluations on each theory. This is very helpful for the students. However, the price of the book is too expensive.

This book by Crain gives interesting information and original theorists' insight with limited opinion. Once in a while Crain gives opinion but he tells you so you can easily separate fact from editorial material. I have actually used this book - underlined and highlighted - that is getting less frequent for me. I'd buy a Crain book again. Amazon's service was equally as impressive.
