"Engaging, up-to-date and relevant for the European experience. It addresses the key biological and social developmental aspects and influences that impact on the adolescent years. A book that students will refer to time and time again during their undergraduate degree. In my opinion this book should be an essential text for undergraduate students in all related fields." - Liesl Conradie, Course Coordinator and Senior Lecturer Child and Adolescent Studies, University of Bedfordshire
