It is more important than ever in this ever quickly changing field (gender development) to be able to provide up to date information to students. For teaching, it is a matter of searching out multiple and varied sources to find the current theories, terminology, and in depth snapshots of current research. Trying to maintain the balance of teaching and doing research and doing each well is difficult. I learned so much and it is by far and away so much better than what my current textbook has for gender identity.

With the newer editions, there have been additional authors brought on board to add fresh perspective and contribute expertise on emerging ‘hot’ topics in the field." Jeffrey Liew/Texas A & M University (Siegler user): "The authors of this textbook are renowned research scholars and experts in the field and each bring unique expertise and perspectives as well as specialization in different domains of development to the writing of this textbook. This allows students to engage in surface or deep learning of the material, depending on their interest, motivation, and background knowledge." Jeffrey Liew/Texas A & M University (Siegler user): "The writing is clear even though there is a lot of detail. The use of the themes to introduce each of the theories makes this easier for students to understand." I often try to get my students to think about how the theories are similar or different. Shelia Greenlee/Christopher Newport University (Siegler user): "The authors do a great job of comparing and contrasting the theories throughout. In addition to bringing in new research and contemporary topics, the authors have specifically looked for ways to incorporate the current issues most relevant to students and instructors: cultural diversity (especially in the studies cited), our evolving understanding of genetics and epigenetics, developments in neuroscience, and our understanding and treatment of gender identity and research. The result is a slightly leaner text that preserves the overall coverage and engaging narrative of previous editions while also adding in coverage of new research without bloating the chapters.ģ. Streamlined exposition: The authors have made judicious changes throughout the text to remove redundant material and refresh the coverage with the goal of streamlining each chapter for more consistency in length across the text.
