Features:

• A multicultural approach makes this book both unique and relevant to a diverse undergraduate population, as students read about the development of lives both similar to and quite dissimilar from their own.
• Six New Cases, including new cases highlighting racial and ethnic identity, enable a deeper understanding of the issues.
• New follow-up reflections, written by the original case writers several years after they wrote the original, keep the book current and up-to-date while also helping students understand adolescence as a stage in the life cycle.

Item was received as advertised. It also came within the time it was promised. This was required reading for a human development class. Interesting read. It's a bunch of case studies about people, starting from their child/teenage years and following them in to college.
