Although this still holds true for many cultures, in countries such as the USA or Japan, adolescence has become a specific stage of life, where young people are cultural trendsetters and market drivers. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe \u003cem\u003eInternational Encyclopedia\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003eof Adolescence\u003c\/em\u003e is an exhaustive socio-cultural survey of young people around the world. The focus is cultural and historical, and the work offers a rarely found worldwide perspective. Entries are compiled by experts from many fields of study, including anthropology, history, psychology, and sociology. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eUnlike existing works, the\u003cem\u003e Encyclopedia \u003c\/em\u003edoes not stress biological or psycho-pathological issues. It addresses myths and realities of adolescence by looking at the actual life of young people in regions as varied as Iran, India, France, the USA, or Japan. It also explains how teen cultures have developed in some countries and how young people deal with the conflicts between tradition and modernity in others. Country coverage examines cultural beliefs, gender, personal and cultural identity, relationships (familial), friends and peers, love and sexuality, education, work, media, problems, and outlook for the future, plus topics particular to the culture or region discussed.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jeffrey Jensen Arnett\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0415966671\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780415966672\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 1212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.66lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.31h x 8.76w x 2.91d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2007 pg. 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eRec Ref Bks for Small\/Med Libr\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 167\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAmerican Reference Bks Annual\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2007 pg. 351","brand":"Jeffrey Jensen Arnett","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48064978780415,"sku":"9780415966672","price":650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_da318cb8-01c8-4db4-a893-c5cf6d0bfda2.jpg?v=1768672323","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/international-encyclopedia-of-adolescence-jeffrey-jensen-arnett-9780415966672","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
