New content! The text offers more than 800 21st century citations and greater emphasis on culture, college and emerging adulthood, and health and well-being. More than 50 new figures present data visually, in an accessible manner.
Improved organization. The "Social, Emotional, and Personality Development" section now precedes "The Contexts of Development" section. The chapter on achievement, careers, and work now follows the chapter on schools. Culture is now addressed in last chapter in the "Contexts of Adolescent Development" section.
Learning goals system. Learning goals are listed at the beginning of each chapter, in tandem with a chapter outline/map of key headings; they are then revisited in the "Review and Reflect" summary that concludes each section of a chapter, and finally summarized in the "Reach Your Learning Goals" end-of-chapter visual. All the supplements now reflect the text's new learning goals system.
Student CD-ROM with video clips. Free with every new copy of the textbook, this CD-ROM includes video clips from McGraw-Hill's Visual Assets Database (VAD), featuring students and researchers who discuss various aspects of adolescent development.
