Create a flyer for "Middle Adulthood"

"This edited book is a very interesting and welcome addition to the series of publications recently devoted to the long neglected issue of development during middle adulthood. It adopts a truly lifespan approach, by considering not only development between 40 and 65 years of age, but also the impact that adolescence and young adulthood can exert on midlife, and the continuity from middle age into old age.

In the early 21st century, with increased longevity and quality of life a real prospect for many in the Western world, Sherry Willis and Mike Martin have succeeded in bringing together contributions from some of foremost researchers in the field of mid-life developmental research.   

A very strong volume.  The combination of a longitudinal studies research base and an international collection of studies makes this a unique and unprecedented entry in this field....This book will clearly be a 'must-have' for scholars interested in midlife.

Midlife is no longer an 'uncharted territory' in human development. A group of outstanding researchers from different countries focuses on this peak period in the life span, when people are at the height of social power and have access to a rich supply of resources.

The book is unique because of the focus on longitudinal studies and international perspectives.  There is no other book like it; existing volumes on mid-life development are either outdated or more narrowly focused.  The author list is an impressive set of scholars….The chapters in this volume bring into clear focus the promise of the life span developmental perspective…. this book will be useful both as an advanced undergraduate or graduate course text and as a resource for scholars.
