Sex, Brains, and Video Games
The intent of this insightful guide is to provide a look at today’s teens through the perspective of neurological, psychological, and educational research. The author takes us through five basic myths, from teens being all but adults to understanding twenty-first-century teens by being aware of what the entertainment industry markets to them. The result is a useful primer on how best to work with young adults and teens as library patrons and the impact that outside forces have upon their choices. Each of the six chapters ends with a further-reading list of Web sites, periodicals, and books as well as detailed notes. An excellent resource for current and future young adult librarians. --Carol Sue Harless
