Written within a bio-psychosocial framework, Cavanaugh and Blanchard-Fields' best-selling text covers the specific ages-stages of adult development and aging. In its unparalleled coverage of current research and theory, the authors draw clear connections between research and application. The book's focus on "positive aging" and the gains and losses people experience across adulthood distinguish it from its competitors. 1. Studying Adult Development and Aging. 2. Neuroscience as a Basis for Adult Development. 3. Physical Changes. 4. Longevity, Health, and Functioning. 5. Where People Live: Person-Environment Interactions. 6. Attention and Memory. 7.

New or updated material includes discussion of structural brain changes and their relation to behavioral change with age, Theory of Mind, age related macular degeneration, the Kronos Early Estrogen Prevention study (KEEPS), genetics of health and genomic-based interventions, the MESSAGE Communication Strategies in Dementia training program, neurological development, and the Openness-Fluid-Crystallized-Intelligence (OFCI) model, among many other topics. The "Real People" feature, which illustrates principles through the lives of individuals, includes new profiles on Pope Francis, Oliver Sacks, Beverly Paige's recovery from stroke, Angelina Jolie's public discussion of her cancer risks, Harry Lorayne (a magician and memory-training specialist), Bernie Sanders and the 2016 election, Pat Summitt (University of Tennessee women's basketball coach who had early-onset Alzheimer's disease), and Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump (as examples of impression formation), among others. New topics in the "How Do We Know?" features -- which highlight research methods mentioned briefly in the main narrative -- include hearing loss and quality of life; the relationships among intelligence, health, and survival; possible selves and the pursuit of social goals; and the long-term health effects of leisure activities. This edition presents current information on Alcohol Abuse Disorder from DSM-5, the "gig economy," the most frequent causes of death by age, updated brain death criteria, death doulas, the Model of Adaptive Grieving Dynamics, and disenfranchised and ambiguous grief. Chapter 14, "Healthy Aging," is restructured to focus on social issues and the healthy aging framework. It includes revised discussions of Social Security and Medicare based on recent political activity, and new discussion of salutogenesis as an important framework for promoting wellness.
