Adolescent, The

For courses in Adolescent Development

An overview of adolescence that helps students see themselves in the discipline
The Adolescent: Development, Relationships, and Culture offers an eclectic, interdisciplinary approach to the study of adolescence, presenting biological, psychological, and sociological viewpoints alongside educational, demographic, and economic data. Author Kim Dolgin places emphasis upon American adolescents, but also explores the issues facing adolescents in the developing world, as well as in Europe and Oceania. The Fourteenth Edition offers coverage of contemporary topics – such as increases in youth homelessness and sexting – to command student interest and reinforce the relevance of the course.

NOTE: This ISBN is for a Pearson Books a la Carte edition: a convenient, three-hole-punched, loose-leaf text. In addition to the flexibility offered by this format, Books a la Carte editions offer students great value, as they cost significantly less than a bound textbook.

The Adolescent: Development, Relationships, and Culture, Fourteenth Edition is also available via Revel™, an interactive learning environment that enables students to read, practice, and study in one continuous experience.
