About the Authors

Jerry Bigner person
Troianne Grayson person
Troianne Grayson has been a professor of psychology for over 15 years at Florida State College at Jacksonville. While her expertise and education are in human development, being the mother of seven has helped her apply what she has learned in school to the real world. She is passionate about both teaching and writing and hopes that students find this book accessible, interesting, and educational. Ideally, it should be a fun read because all of us are both human and developing. To study life span development is to study ourselves and our own development. Enjoy!
