Writing for graduate and advanced undergraduate students and researchers, Moshman (U. of Nebraska-Lincoln) argues that a more coherent picture of adolescence emerges from a renewed focus on
rationality and development, and shows how such a focus can lead to a rational constructivist conception of adolescent development that accommodates evidence regarding context and diversity
without jettisoning the coherence of a developmental perspective. The first edition appeared in 1999; for this edition, he has enlarged all four parts from three chapters to four. Psychology
