Summary: An Excellent Review of Relevant Research and Theories
Review: This is an excellent text for adolescent development. It is an easy read for undergraduate students and it provides summaries of a variety of current research projects. I have used Steinberg's text for two years to teach a course in adolescent development and I have yet to find a better undergraduate text on adolescence.

Summary: Sets the standard
Review: This textbook by Steinberg sets the standard for texts in the psychology of adolescence. Steinberg has distinguished himself not only as one of the major researchers in the area of adolescent development, but as a writer who can translate scientific jargon into language that is accessible. This text is well-written, well-organized, and contains most of the important research on adolescence.

Summary: A Worthwhile Resource for Adolescent Development
Review: This textbook on adolescence is clear, comprehensive, extensively researched, and well-written. It is not exciting--as is true of most texts--but it is probably the best available textbook in a sorely neglected area.

Rating:
Summary: Excellent -- the quintessential text on adolescent behavior.
Review: When you open the book and begin reading from the Preface, you are quietly introduced to Laurence Steinberg and recognize immediately his apparent wisdom and experience in the subject of adolescence. The content of the surprisingly thin 500-page book is a treasure for anyone who is willing to dispel old myths of adolescent behavior and to consider the scientific evidence we have to date. The book's layout and design are "reader-friendly" and appropriate for use by the hurried professional.
