Description:
Adolescence, 8th edition by Laurence Steinberg has been thoroughly updated to reflect current findings in the field of adolescent development. In this edition, the author continues to utilize the effective combination of a friendly writing style, thorough research and a contextual approach that emphasizes adolescence in contemporary society. The text’s careful organization ensures maximum teaching flexibility that allows the chapters to work together or be covered in sequence or stand alone. Ethnicity and minority issues are thoroughly discussed in a way that enables students to see how the adolescent experience is shaped by class and culture. The strong pedagogical framework helps students organize and integrate material. Adolescence, 8th edition, is based on solid research and theory, yet it has a distinctively “real world” feel that emphasizes the reality of being an adolescent in today’s society.

Wish I had this book when my two sons were adolescents - I have learned so much from this book. Every parent should read this book. You are not alone, and your children will be all right, if you learn how to deal with them during this very difficult period in their lives.

review of book - We ordered this book because we could not find it anywhere else. It came a couple of days after the order was made vs. it being a week or more.
The book itself is interesting and provides very useful info on adolescence for the masters class that is being taken.
