The fourth edition continues to provide psychologists with a fresh and engaging approach to the field of psychology of adult development and aging. It focuses on three themes: a multidisciplinary approach, positive images of aging, and the newest and most relevant research. Recent articles and updates to the information on demography, economics, and public policy are presented. The Aging in the News feature includes a story of a remarkable achievement by a middle-aged or older adult. The Assess Yourself boxes are also updated with new questions. Psychologists appreciate this mix of examples and discussions that make the material come to life.

Falling apart after day 3
I usually love buying my school books from Amazon; however, I’ve been using this book for 3 days and it is falling apart. A bit frustrating since I will need it daily throughout the next 2 months.

Really needed the most updated copy of the book as it had all the material that was on the test. I had been issued a former copy of the book and just couldn’t find the information I needed. I really enjoy this subject and want to take more classes to get a degree in this field.

My book started coming apart before I finished the first chapter. For the price of this book, that should never happen.

1.0 out of 5 stars Should not be a textbook choice. Its terrible.
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2019

This textbook is such a struggle to get through. I am 1 week into my class, and I am clawing through the 1st chapter into the 2nd, dreading the rest. It's terrible reading, dry and uninteresting, and I love Psychology. Its difficult to pick out clear points, organize thoughts and make note what might be important. Its a mess. I agree with the other review about sentence structure and needing some editing, but honestly, who can concentrate on it enough to properly edit it? It's a rotten shame that I or anyone else has to get through a class with this book. I am already disappointed that I won't be learning much. Good luck to everyone who has to take a class and this is the book chosen for it. It has ruined an otherwise very interesting subject for me.

2.0 out of 5 stars Almost hate this book
Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2017

Almost hate this book. I struggle with paying for something that has lower professional requirements than my Master's level papers require. There has been no editing to this book--sentence structure is appalling at times. The one time I looked into a cited source, it didn't match up. I'm a little angry that I have to read it.

1.0 out of 5 stars Big mess
Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2020
You can sense that the publisher has no empathy in the way she talks about things in the book. This is one of the worst books I have ever read. It’s not interesting, very hard to stay engaged. It’s a big mess.
