the book is in very good condition, with minor highlighting. there really isn't much else to say about a book that you need for a class! hmm....it would have been nice to have known what edition the book was. i needed 8th, and this is 7th. it really doesn't end up being a big deal, i just would have liked to have had that information before making the decision to purchase.

I should say up front that I just don't really like textbooks. This book is a great introduction for someone new to psychology who works with adolescents. For someone who has taken several psychology courses, this book is repetitive, shallow, and general. It casts a wide net. Fortunately, my instructor brought in lots of interesting supplementary journal articles and encouraged debate. Otherwise I might have died of boredom. I'm keeping this book around as a reference, because the problems it has are really just symptoms of textbooks in general. As far as textbooks go, this one is as good as the others.

The book came quickly and in great condition, it was just a little frustrating that I searched specifically for the 9th edition and the photo provided was of the 9th but then I received the 7th edition. This was probably overlooking some how on my part but I both searched the edition specifically and made sure the covers matched but there was still a mix up. Hopefully 2 additions doesn't dramatically change the content!

the book is interesting. it focuses on different times in adolescence and different experiments that have been done. all in all, it's a pretty good buy.

I have taken many Psychology classes. This book is clear and well illustrated. There is room for improvement but this is a great textbook.
