From School Library Journal Grade 9 Up-This edition is a complete overhaul of the 2002 original. Aiming to offer "parents and their teens basic information about the growth and development of adolescents and the issues that impact them as they move from childhood through puberty to adulthood" the book opens with "Adolescent Health and Development Overview." Other sections address nutrition and weight; cosmetics skin care and skin disorders; reproductive and sexual health; physical injury; other physical disorders and illnesses; abuse and violence; mental health; and substance abuse. Individual chapters 75 in all consist mainly of documents and excerpts from government agencies and professional organizations ranging from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America with sources clearly documented. The writing is clear and straightforward with black-and-white charts graphs and the occasional diagram interspersed. The obesity crisis among U.S. youth is addressed in depth and current research on teenage brain development and mental illness makes this a particularly good resource for both parents and teens. The concise presentation of the material in brief and well-organized chapters creates an easy volume to browse despite its overall lack of visual appeal.-Joyce Adams Burner Hillcrest Library Prairie Village KS Copyright © Reed Business Information a division of Reed Elsevier Inc.
