Development Across Adulthood: Multicultural Perspectives on Adult Development and Aging provides a novel and comprehensive understanding of development across adulthood.

Presenting adult development and aging in a way that applies to student’s lives, the book prepares them as critical consumers and decision-makers as well as culturally competent individuals inspired to pursue related careers. With an emphasis on aging and the end of the lifespan, as well as middle adulthood, the book provides a more balanced presentation of the life changes that occur from emerging adulthood through the end of life. Through an engaging presentation of ideas, scholarship, and pedagogical features that promote active and self-regulated learning and development, the book presents the most recent and exciting theoretical and scientific discoveries of today and incorporates recent and current global issues to help us understand the impact of these events on the development of adults from different cultures.

Focusing on diversity in developmental outcomes including age, culture, ethnicity, gender and sexual identity, and the increasingly interconnected global world and its influences on longevity, health, and quality of life, this textbook is core reading for undergraduate students studying adult development and aging courses, as well as other allied health disciplines.
