    Adolescence, by Ian McMahan, combines rigorous, scientific coverage of adolescent development research with a scholarly yet enjoyable narrative style that is rarely found in textbooks. The table of contents follows an ecological systems framework to show how individual teens both affect and are affected by their families, peers, schools, and society. Adolescence also employs unique pedagogy to ensure students practice active learning and deep processing, focus on the practical applications of what they are studying, think critically and become educated consumers of the research.

     

    Two overarching themes are explored throughout this text:

    1.      Adolescent development involves individual, social and cultural systems.

    2.      Positive adolescent development is the norm, though the media and research frequently concentrate on adolescent problems.

    • Courses in adolescence or adolescent development.

     

    Designed to capture the physical, cognitive, social, and personality development as individuals move from childhood into adulthood, Adolescence 1e provides an accurate, broad, and comprehensive introduction to the field of adolescent development.  More importantly, however, it places these theories and research findings in the context of how they can be applied to readers’ lives.  The book is intended to excite readers about the field of adolescence, draw them into its way of looking at the world, and to shape their understanding of the significant developmental issues that characterize this period.  By presenting the useful, practical information that will help readers make life decisions about relationships, education, and careers–the very stuff of adolescence–the book is intended to keep enthusiasm about the discipline alive long after students’ formal introduction to the field has ended. 

     

    This book captures the physical, cognitive, social, and personal development of individuals from childhood through adulthood while continuously placing theory and research in the context of how they can be applied to readers' lives.

    • This text offers a readable and friendly presentation of the important methods, findings, and theories of human aging, while actively involving the reader in meaningful exercises and critical thinking.

     

    Students are repeatedly challenged to apply information in the text to the older adults in their own lives. Specifically, suggestions for enhancing the lives of their older relatives are offered and encouraged. These include guidelines for discussions they might have regarding social, emotional, and environmental changes as well encouraging intellectual and social interaction. While presenting the latest in research findings, the authors have also strived to keep research interesting for students who may not see themselves as researchers. The new edition is available with MyDevelopmentKit, a premium online resource with Audio Senior Views conversations with older adults talking about their own experiences that relate to the content of the textbook, as well as online quizzes and other multimedia tools that enrich the textbook content.
