From the Publisher:

Dramatically expanded Web Resources including Web Icons which appear throughout each chapter, next to appropriate content, signaling to the student that connecting links and additional information is available on the 8th edition web site. Taking it to the Net problem-solving exercises have been added to encourage students to explore topics in more depth via the internet.
Key Terms are now defined in the margin of the page on which they first appear making it easier for students to learn new vocabulary.

Through The Eyes of Psychologists feature quotes and insights from today's top developmental researchers in the field such as Eliot Aronson and James Jones. These passages bring researchers and their subjects to life for students.
Unique Cross-linkages are featured within the text of every chapter to refer students back to the primary discussion of key concepts to increase comprehension. This serves as a built-in review for students.
Explorations in Adolescence boxes appear one or more times in each chapter and provide applications like "Why Youth Kill" (Ch. 6) that focus on providing a better understanding of and a more caring world for adolescents.
