About this book
Look inside
Trade review
Scientific facts translated into compelling stories for the non-scientist, explaining the physical, emotional and mental aspects of adolesents. Think David Attenborough writing about teenagers rather than animals.
Synopsis
Why do teenagers need so much sleep? Why do their feet begin to smell? Why are they suddenly attracted to sex, drugs and rock and roll? This book gives you the biological, anthropological, zoological, and cultural answers.
