Sage Publications Child and Adolescent Development in Context

Like children themselves, development is dynamic. In the chronologically organized Child and Adolescent Development in Context, award-winning author Tara L. Kuther brings developmental research to life by framing it within real-world contexts, illustrating how internal factors interact with a wide range of social, environmental, and cultural influences. Through highly relatable examples and vivid cross-cultural stories, Dr. Kuther engages readers while emphasizing three core themes: the centrality of context, the importance of research, and the practical value of developmental science. Learners will come away with a deeper understanding of these themes and the ability to apply them to their own lives and future careers. The new Second Edition features an expanded exploration of intersectional influences, a new section on intersectionality in Chapter 1, and the addition of “Developmental Cascades”, a brand-new feature that illustrates how changes in one domain can influence others. Also available in Sage Vantage, an intuitive learning platform that integrates quality Sage textbook content with assignable multimedia activities and auto-graded assessments to drive student engagement and ensure accountability.
