Emerging adulthood : the winding road from the late teens through the twenties

"Merging stories from the lives of emerging adults themselves with the findings from years of research, Emerging Adulthood covers a wide range of topics, including love and sex, relationships with parents, experiences at college and work, and views of what it means to be an adult. As the nature of American youth, American society, and the meaning of adulthood continue to evolve, Emerging Adulthood is indispensable reading for anyone wanting to understand the face of modern America."--Jacket
