Description

An authoritative, broad, and practical survey of the social, psychological, and physical development of American teenagers.

In Adolescence in America, more than 100 leading experts from the fields of biology, medicine, behavioral and social science, law, education, and the humanities piece together the puzzle of adolescence. In readable, accessible language they analyze the explosion of research that has reshaped the study of adolescence in the last 30 years and explain how today's leading scientists and practitioners view the challenges of this developmental period. Best of all, they show parents how to apply the latest scientific knowledge, such as the 40 "developmental assets" that predict a child's behavior, to their own family situation.


• Two volumes of A–Z entries provide an authoritative view of teen-related subjects―from bullying to learning styles to risk perception

• Contributors include leading biologists, medical researchers, behavioral and social scientists, attorneys, and educators
