John Santrock's Adolescence provides readers with an easy-to-read, up-to-date textbook that adequately covers adolescent development within schools and at home. Current research and recent statistics accompany the subjects at hand, and fully encompass the physical, psychological, and socioemotional developments of students. Chapters include: Careers in Adolescent Development; Puberty, Health, and Biological Foundations; The Brain and Cognitive Development; The Self, Identity, Emotions, and Personality; Gender; Sexuality; Moral Development, Values, and Religion; Families; Peer and Romantic Relationships; Schools; Achievement, Work, and Careers; Culture; Problems in Adolescent and Emerging Adulthood. Certain sections have been expanded upon for the twelfth edition. The various subjects are not, of course, covered in depth, as this is meant to be a sweeping introduction to the field of adolescent psychology. However, it will arm readers with a better understanding and proper direction for further, more critical research.

I had to buy this textbook for Adolescent Psychology, and the most that could be said for it was that we didn't have to read the entire book. While it did offer some interesting insights into adolescent demographics and statistics, overall the book was just a long-winded review of General Psychology. For a more insightful look into the lives and actual psychology of adolescents, I recomend Hurt by Chap Clark.
