In addition, in some chapters, Inside the Brain presents cutting-edge research on the brain with charts, figures, and photos. Attention to Cultural Diversity Berger highlights cultural differences and universals and their impact on the values and customs that shape individual development. Critical Thinking and Applications-Based Pedagogy From the chapter-opening stories and the 'A View From Science' and "A Case to Study" features, to the questions presented in 'Observation Quizzes, ' "Especially For, " "Think Critically, " and new "Chapter Apps" marginalia, to the Visualizing Development infographics, Berger's pedagogy has students thinking about the real implications-for themselves and for the world at large. Opposing Perspectives The feature asks students to look at both sides of a controversial issue (from prenatal sex selection to e-cigarettes, etc.), thereby expanding the coverage of critical thinking.
