AB - 190 Book Reviews young people aged fourteen to seventeen. All the chapters end with a high- lighted passage containing implications for practice and a short list of some sug- gestions for further reading. The book contains an author index and a very good, comprehensive subject index. The book also features a variety of tables, graphs, etc. and is sprinkled (two or three per chapter) with some rather grainy black-and-white photographs, the purpose of which defeats me—the text flows smoothly and effortlessly; it does not need breaking up with these (frankly, rather naff) portraits—this is my only (minor) gripe. The book remains unique and, arguably, unrivalled. John Coleman weaves together a range of perspectives on adolescence in a highly readable text. This is a work of wisdom and scholarship cleverly combined with a great deal of useful and practical information. This is no mean feat—making such complex ideas (merging anthropology, criminology, neuroscience, psychology, psychoanalysis and (a little bit of) sociology) accessible and understandable whilst not losing sight of the practice implications of the material is to be com- mended. All these make it essential reading for all those social workers working with adolescents. Reference Coleman, J. C. and Hendry, L.
