[T]his book will clearly be a 'must-have' for scholars interested in midlife."           - Michael Marsiske, University of Florida   "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 . . . Various views, including historical, cultural, and socio-structural perspectives, are adopted . . . [C]omprehensive reviews of studies on almost all relevant domains of human development . . . are given and provide a colorful picture of what midlife in these days may be all about." - Sigrun-Heide Filipp, University of Trier, Germany   Middle adulthood is a critical period of the life course.
