On the Frontier of Adulthood by R A Settersten
Reveals that adulthood no longer begins when adolescence ends. This volume considers the nature and consequences of changes in early adulthood by drawing upon a wide variety of historical and contemporary data from the United States, Canada, and Western Europe.
"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"
