Development in Adulthood

"The book presents a 'balanced' view of development in adulthood that is not swayed by either unrealistic optimism or unnecessary pessimism." "The book contains a number of important features that are needed in this market: 1) current research and theory that is accessible to the undergraduate reader; 2) an optimistic standpoint on adult development and aging; and 3) attention to issues pertaining to women and culture that are not isolated nor gratuitous in nature."
