Download or read book What Did The Baby Boomers Ever Do For Us written by Francis Beckett and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-22 with total page 201 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 2010, this book explores the legacy of the baby boomers: the generation who, born in the aftermath of the Second World War, came of age in the radical sixties where for the first time since the War, there was freedom, money, and safe sex. In this book, Francis Beckett argues that what began as the most radical-sounding generation for half a century turned into a random collection of youthful style gurus, sharp-toothed entrepreneurs and management consultants who believed revolution meant new ways of selling things; and Thatcherites, who thought freedom meant free markets, not free people. At last, it found its most complete expression in New Labour. The author argues that the children of the 1960s betrayed the generations that came before and after, and that the true legacy of the swinging decade is in ashes.

Book excerpt: University Press returns with another short and captivating book - a brief history of the Baby Boomers. After World War II, birth rates in the western world increased dramatically and a remarkable baby boom was born. In 1946, the United States had a population of 146 million. In a span of less than 20 years - from 1946 to 1964 - Americans had 76 million babies. Those babies are the Baby Boomers and their generation has changed the world. American Baby Boomers had a unique experience in a nation that was simultaneously becoming a superpower and finding its own identity. Coming of age during the tumultuous 1960s and 1970s, Baby Boomers witnessed the same historical events, grappled with many of the same cultural forces, and, today, experience similar challenges. This short book provides an abbreviated account of the dazzling and devastating events, forces, triumphs, and setbacks that have shaped the Baby Boomer generation - a version that you can read in about an hour.

Download or read book The Longer You Live the Older You Get written by J. Michael Krivyanski and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2015-11-06 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Baby Boomers experienced a world growing up that is very different from the one we live in today. Some say it's better, and some say it's worse. We can all agree it's very different. These are humor columns about being a Baby Boomer. Baby Boomers came of age in a time when there were water fountains instead of hydration stations. Our childhood was filled with playing outside. When we were forced to stay inside it was tantamount to being punished. We spoke to people in person and understood body language. There was no cyber world. We all had to learn how to deal with reality. There were no computer games. There were pick-up sports based on who had a baseball, football, basketball or other sports equipment. Playing a game depended on if the sports equipment owners were willing to share. Card games were played with real cards. We camped out without adults, went on bike hikes, swam in creeks and more. Now we're middle age or older. Our bodies are changing, and the world around us continues to make less and less sense. This book is about the many common things experienced by Baby Boomers. Just like the song from the group "The Who", I'm "Talkin' 'bout my generation.

Download or read book Memories of Baby Boomers written by Debbie Anne Dashner and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2018-03-14 with total page 77 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As I was preparing this work, I asked some young adults (early 20s of today) what they know about the baby boomers. One reply was, You had morals. Today, people dont. Another reply was, My grandmother is one, and she worries a lot. Then he qualified his statement with this idea, No, she really takes good care of us. Thus, he was implying that the baby boomers are very humanitarian. Naturally, each of these statements is a value judgment and is open to opinion, and everyone knows that every generation has good and bad people. However, I would qualify the statement that the first young man said with this idea: I do believe that the baby boom generation has been a generation of traditional values in a very special way that no others in modern times seem to have been. Another way to say that is to say that baby boomers followed their parents values in a way that no other generation of modern times has done.

Download or read book Reflections of a Baby Boomer written by Alexis Malone Lynk and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2016-11-10 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: REFLECTIONS OF A BABY BOOMER This book is about how my life as a girl, born after World War II, as part of the Baby Boomer Generation (1946-1964), has affected my view of life today as an aging Baby Boomer. My generation was full of passion: we changed history, loosened morals, dappled in drugs, fought for civil rights, protested the Vietnam War, saw assassinations of powerful people, changed music from pop to R&B (Motown), just to name a few. These events, though long ago, have impacted our thoughts and views on life today. I speak as one voice, for our aging generation, on various topics that are important or of a concern to us today such as caring for grandchildren, traveling, aging, having sex, staying fit etc. as we continue to be a vital force in this world.

Download or read book Born at the Right Time written by Doug Owram and published by University of Toronto Press. This book was released on 1997-12-15 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is rare in history for people to link their identity with their generation, and even rarer when children and adolescents actually shape society and influence politics. Both phenomena aptly describe the generation born in the decade following the Second World War. These were the baby boomers, viewed by some as the spoiled, selfish generation that had it all, and by others as a shock wave that made love and peace into tangible ideals. In this book, Doug Owram brings us the untold story of this famous generation as it played out its first twenty-five years in Canadian society. Beginning with Dr Spock's dictate that this particular crop of babies must be treated gently, Owram explores the myth and history surrounding this group, from its beginning at war's end to the close of the 1960s. The baby boomers wielded extraordinary power right from birth, Owram points out, and laid their claim on history while still in diapers. He sees the generation's power and sense of self stemming from three factors: its size, its affluent circumstance, and its connection with the 1960s – the fabulous decade of free love, flower power, women's liberation, drugs, protest marches, and rock 'n' roll. From Davy Crockett hats and Barbie dolls to the civil-rights movement and the sexual revolution, the concerns of this single generation became predominant themes for all of society. Thus, Owram's history of the baby-boomers is in many ways a history of the era. Doug Owram has written extensively on cultural icons, Utopian hopes, and the gap between realities and images – all powerful themes in the story of this idealistic generation. A well-researched, lucid, and humorous book, Born at the Right Time is the first Canadian history of the baby-boomers and the society they helped to shape.

Download or read book Baby Boomers written by M. Joanna Mellor, DSW and published by Springer Publishing Company. This book was released on 2005-05-17 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is the United States prepared for the Baby Boomers to grow old? This book seeks to answer these questions. It also suggests strategies to make sure that the answer to these questions becomes YES. Much has been written about the Baby Boom generation but this is the first book to address current issues they face while simultaneously projecting ahead to challenges and benefits that are likely to characterize this next generation of older persons. It is based on keynote presentations by noted leaders in the field of aging, who discuss their expectations of their old age. Thus, it is both an introductory primer to aging today as well as a book that raises questions, suggests solutions, and indicates avenues of planning for the future. The book takes a close look at the state of readiness of health and social service providers for the large numbers of older persons in society's future. A careful look is taken at what is and what might be in the areas of income security, health security and health care, long-term care, and housing and living arrangements. The importance of this book lies in the fact that it addresses the lack of planning by both the Baby Boomers and services providers, and identifies steps to be taken, with particular emphasis given to needed changes in the education of health and social service professionals to prepare them for what lies ahead.
