"Arnett has produced a brilliant compilation of everything you want to know about the latest theory and research on emerging adults. He has skillfully assembled a first-rate group of scholars who provide clear and cogent accounts of what is known and set the stage for new directions of inquiry. This is a landmark resource for anyone interested in understanding how the period of emerging adulthood fits into the overall life course." --Margie E. Lachman, Minnie and Harold Fierman Professor of Psychology, Brandeis University, Director of the Lifespan Development Lab, and Editor of the Handbook of Midlife Development

"Ever since Professor Jeffrey Arnett introduced the concept of emerging adulthood in 2000, the scholarly study of this developmental stage has taken off in a way that few topics ever do. The Oxford Handbook of Emerging Adulthood is an impressive, timely, and necessary resource. It offers a depth and comprehensiveness that is rare in such a relatively new area of study. Scholars, both new and seasoned, will find a treasure trove of theory, findings, and applications in its pages." --Bella DePaulo, PhD, author of How We Live Now and Singled Out

"This book on the new and rapidly growing area of study in developmental psychology--emerging adulthood--is a bold, pioneering effort of Dr. Jeffrey Arnett and 75 other scholars... This is an outstanding contribution to psychology. As we understand ourselves and others more deeply, we lead happier, more meaningful lives." --BIZ INDIA
