AlbakiReads Editorial

A course-based introduction to human development

Drawing on material from Molly Countermine’s Penn State course in Human Development and Family Studies, *Being Human* gathers introductory information about how people develop. The source description also points to personal anecdotes and practical tips, connecting the subject to parenting, relationships, and questions about what shapes a person. Its scope is that of a primer: an entry point to human development and family studies rather than a narrowly defined specialist text.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Adults seeking an introduction to human development and family studies
  • Readers interested in parenting, relationships, or personal development

Book overview

At Penn State University, Molly Countermine's HDFS 129 course, Introduction to Human Development and Family Studies, has been beloved by thousands of students for over two decades. Being Human is essentially a compilation of the information she teaches in that class. Molly's charm is evident in the pages of this book, with personal anecdotes and tips for real-world application. Whether you're interested in learning more about human development, looking for a primer to navigate parenting and relationships, or just want to learn a little bit about what makes you the way you are, Being Human is an excellent place to start.
