In this worthy addition to the distinguished Jean Piaget Symposium Series, the editors begin with a Piagetian vision of adolescents as rational agents and active contributors to their own development, which is seen as a constructive process of coordination and reflection. The authors proceed in a variety of disciplinary, theoretical, and empirical directions, so there's plenty for everyone in this diverse collection. -David Moshman ...Overall, the book highlights adolescents' coordinating activities in support of their own development as a constructivist process worthy of continued research... Highly recommended... --L. E.
