"The book is well written and the theorists and their respective work are well-presented and clearly explained. . . . As a text dealing with the historical overview of major theorists and their work in human development over the last century or so, it is extremely strong and could be widely used in a variety of both undergraduate and graduate courses."
-- Ann C. Diver-Stamnes
"In general, I found the websites and references listed at the end of each chapter to be very interesting and useful for taking students beyond what is in the text."
-- Jane Ledingham
"A fine choice for a classic theories course, and I believe that the level of presentation would be appropriate for advanced undergraduate or graduate students. . . . The up-to-date web sites at the end of each section are a definite plus. The choice of sites is excellent."
