REVEL for Child Development -- Access Card

For courses in Child Development which take a chronological approach
 
A balanced presentation of developmental theory, research, and applications
Revel™ Child Development offers a comprehensive introduction to the field, covering basic theories and research findings as well as highlighting current applications outside the laboratory. Covering childhood and adolescence chronologically, author Robert Feldman seeks to excite students about the field, to draw them into its way of looking at the world, and to mold their understanding of developmental issues. In order to better help students understand and apply the science of development, the 8th Edition has been updated with all-new interactives that bring key concepts to life, coverage of contemporary topics, and fresh content that reflects the DSM-5.

Revel is Pearson’s newest way of delivering our respected content. Fully digital and highly engaging, Revel replaces the textbook and gives students everything they need for the course. Informed by extensive research on how people read, think, and learn, Revel is an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience — for less than the cost of a traditional textbook.

NOTE: Revel is a fully digital delivery of Pearson content. This ISBN is for the standalone Revel access card. In addition to this access card, you will need a course invite link, provided by your instructor, to register for and use Revel.
