They draw on research to address standard topics regarding this age - family and peer relationships, schooling, preparation for work, physical and mental health - and show how these have a different cast across societies. As a whole, the book depicts how rapid global change is dramatically altering the experience of the adolescent transition, creating new opportunities and challenges for adolescents, parents, teachers and others. | 01-Jan-02 | B.Bradford Brown, Reed W.

The authors identify some ominous societal changes that will affect youth : unstable job markets, competition for public resources due to an aging population, and widening income gaps between "information workers" and low-skill workers. But the authors also observe numerous opportunities that may improve the lives of young people through the creation of new information technology, innovations in health-service delivery and criminal justice rehabilitation.

3 | NYC01010600 SPPED TRIBES - DAYS AND NIGHTS WITH JAPAN Speed Tribe is a grippingly fresh portrait of an unseen country. Mr Greenfeld's Japan is an underclass of sorts, an underclass not always represented by wealth or lack of it, but more of spirit or direction. It's a collection of ne'er-do-well youth...who have been sucked, pushed or drawn into the more marginal circles of Japanese society.
