Emerging and Young Adulthood: Multiple Perspectives, Diverse Narratives (Advancing Responsible Adolescent Development)
From the reviews:"Important to all invested in facilitating adolescent development and health, the book provides an overview of the demands adolescents will face as they become adults … . A close reading of this book reveals much more than an overview of themes drawn from the literature and a set of narratives to authenticate them. … Konstram’s work brings the framework back as a potentially useful one for understanding emerging and young adult development, and a potential bridge between the old and the new." (Jennifer L. Tanner, Journal of Youth and Adolescence, Vol. 37, 2008)"Varda Konstam defines emerging adulthood as the period from 18 to 30, a much wider span than researchers of the past have considered. … does a thoroughly admirable job of collecting research from a wide variety of sources across the social sciences, from scholarly and popular press books as well as traditional research journal articles and newspaper and magazine accounts. … most students, scholars, and practitioners will find the multiplicity of perspectives and the careful capture of diverse voices engaging, thought-provoking, and useful."
