This textbook provides a good overview of various demensions of adult development. Chapters discuss physical, emotional, financial and social development from young adulthood, midlife, through late adulthood. The textbook has good headings, summary sections, and review questions. It draws on the research of hundreds of experts. I read it during my final semester of a master's program in aging studies. It served as a good review. It would also work well for students in their first semester of aging studies or students taking a psychology general education class on issues of adult development.
