by Jeffrey Jensen Arnett

Addressing both the changes in the study of adolescent behavior and the changes in the nature of adolescent development in Western society, this informative collection of readings provides a comprehensive cross cultural perspective of adolescent development. Covering every aspect of adolescent development as it takes place in cultures worldwide and historically, this book takes a longer age range approach to emerging adulthood and provides a look at this pivotal developmental period extending into the early twenties. Essays analyze the changes in the study of adolescent development and changes in adolescent development from age ten to early twenties historically and around the world. For individuals interested in adolescent development.

Most articles are focused on adolescents, and only a few discuss emerging adults. If you have read any other book by Arnett regarding emerging adults, then this will probably just be a repeat. However, some of the articles by other authors are quite interesting and definitely worth the read.
