Trade Review
"The most definitive overview yet of the emerging phenomenon of early adulthood in North America." - Harvey Krahn, Canadian Journal of Sociology "The strength of the book lies in the vast detail provided on what it takes to be an adult in contemporary western society written by talented scholars, most of whom are the leading figures in their sub-disciplines. The coverage of topics and the theoretical and empirical insights are almost exhaustive." - Monica A. Longmore, Contemporary Sociology"
