First sentence: THE PAST FEW DECADES A QUIET revolution has taken place for young people in American society, so quiet that it has been noticed only gradually and incompletely.
Description: "Merging stories from the lives of emerging adults themselves with the findings from years of research, Emerging Adulthood covers a wide range of topics, including love and sex, relationships with parents, experiences at college and work, and views of what it means to be an adult. As the nature of American youth, American society, and the meaning of adulthood continue to evolve, Emerging Adulthood is indispensable reading for anyone wanting to understand the face of modern America."--Jacket.
