Reviews

This volume helps fill the need for literature and research related to adult development (roughly ages 40-64)...All of the selections emphasize a contextual approach to understanding the diversity of middle development--the complex interplay of bio-psycho-social-cultural factors. Academic (upper-division undergraduate and up) and lay readers alike should find this readable volume interesting and useful. It could easily serve as a primary or secondary text in a specialized course. --CHOICE, October 1999 Willis and Reid deserve praise for creating a book that... meets... the worthy goals they set for themselves. --CONTEMPORARY PSYCHOLOGY, October 2000
