Book Synopsis Reflections of a Baby Boomer by : Janice Hiatt Steil
Download or read book Reflections of a Baby Boomer written by Janice Hiatt Steil and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2004 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The seventy-six million Americans born between 1946 and 1965 have reshaped America with their style, their tastes and, above all, by their sheer numbers. The Boomers are passing through American history, outnumbering the previous generation by a staggering 28 million. This book is a refreshing reminder of what we considered the simpler, quieter times of the fifties, surviving the turbulent sixties and further impressions of a baby boomer growing up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Hopefully, it will take you on a trip down memory lane. Times have changed so much from the fifties, some for the good, some for the bad, but life does go on and we as "baby boomers" will survive.
Book Synopsis Baby Boomer Reflections by : Fred Arnow
Download or read book Baby Boomer Reflections written by Fred Arnow and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-05-01 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: While many books examine the effect that adult baby boomers have had on the country, politics, and society, few have dealt with the formative years of this influential generation-until now. Inspired by the recollections and nostalgic conversations from his fiftieth high school reunion, "typical" baby boomer Fred Arnow sets out to describe the events and environment in which he grew up. The result is a sometimes serious, often humorous examination of the world that shaped a generation. Focusing his remembrances around the graduating class of 1964, Arnow summons up powerful memories of growing up in the 1950s and coming of age in the 1960s, comparing them with the often turbulent world boomers occupy today. Baby Boomer Reflections is more than nostalgia. Arnow has created a storehouse of powerful memories boomers can share with their children and grandchildren, offering a chance to pass on the wisdom of a lifetime-a chance he wishes someone had offered him when he was a brash young man on the cusp of adulthood. Relive the events-good and bad-that made the boomers who they are. This is their story, set down on paper so that it will never be forgotten.

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.

Book Synopsis The Good Lives After by : Stephen L. Canipe
Download or read book The Good Lives After written by Stephen L. Canipe and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-08-01 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a compilation of 78 weekly columns, which focused on issues of concern to those who are termed "baby boomers." It will be by, for, and about boomers and their issues. In other words, it means it is specifically for those who were born between 1946 and 1964. Current population estimates are that there are nearly 75 million boomers. The author is one of this illustrious number being born in 1946!! Although boomers are the target of this series, it should be interesting and possibly informative for anyone who knows or loves a boomer. Have boomers already begun turning "old" at 65? According to published reports, there are more than a thousand turning that magic 65 every day and this aging will go on until 2029. Why is 65 considered the age of "oldness"? Even the oldest boomers didn't qualify for Social Security at that age. The oldest boomers had to be 66 to qualify for full benefits and the youngest will need to be 67 for full benefits. Currently boomers qualify for Medicare at 65 and they can still take early retirement at 62. Maybe the Medicare is the trigger for the magic 65. During the years since their birth, boomers have had a profound impact on any number of things because of the large population numbers. Many boomers have been witness to some pretty spectacular things and some of those might best be forgotten. Some of the technology that was being developed was instrumental in boomer power. Television began to make a strong penetration into the entertainment scene and along with it the advertising that was targeted towards boomers. Boomers were the first generation to really embrace differences in all forms. They were pretty much responsible for a different type music and our more open attitudes have led to more relaxed attitudes on race, sex, drugs, etc. They were often more open in seeing and accepting differences than their parents and have instilled that attitude into their children and grandchildren. Each generation had its war and Viet Nam was the one for boomers. It was not pretty and there were many different attitudes about the conflict. Some were willing to go and fight to defend a country that was loved so much or because they believed in obeying authority, even if not in support of the war; others loved the country just as much but were willing to leave the country to avoid doing something that was antithetical to what was believed. Schools saw boomers crowded into large classes or sometimes, if lucky, even new school buildings. Classes were always larger than the classes which had been ahead of the boomers, at least for those in the early years of the boom. New teachers, new school classrooms, and lots of other things because of large numbers were needed. Boomers changed education, just as they changed almost everything else. As a group boomers were pretty egalitarian and believed that everyone should be judged by their merits. The leaders who were respected covered a broad range from Martin Luther King, Jr. to John Kennedy to Billy Graham. These role models have led to boomer leaders including Bill Clinton and George W. Bush - almost a paradox. But then boomers never were easy to pigeonhole as a group and remain that way.
Book Synopsis A Baby Boomer's Decision Making by : Francis J. Kostel
Download or read book A Baby Boomer's Decision Making written by Francis J. Kostel and published by Dog Ear Publishing. This book was released on 2010-08 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Baby Boomer's Decision Making drives the nation's 75 million baby boomers to examine life through the decisions they make, whether they are considering finances, changing national priorities or the needs of aging parents. Boomers will explore decisions of love, school, career, family and fun. From 1956 Chevrolets to Martin Luther King Jr., Vietnam and the 21st century, memoir snippets expose the author's best and worst decision making. From these engaging stories, a model of decision making emerges driven by individual experience in a distinctive combination of understanding, relationships and God. A Baby Boomer's Decision Making creates a bridge from abstract theoretical manuscripts to the daily reality, dreams and apprehensions of baby boomers. Mathematics unlocks the tools of decision making, and prejudice is an omnipresent force. The peaks and valleys of love, family and career highlight the ingredients of decision making. Guidelines and principles of decision making solidify and further assist readers in reviewing the past, assessing the present and preparing for their future. A series of activities and questions at the end of the book encourage individual reflection or small group discussion. Francis J. Kostel earned a Ph.D. from the University of Chicago.

Book Synopsis A Berkshire Boyhood by : Begiebing, Robert
Download or read book A Berkshire Boyhood written by Begiebing, Robert and published by Anaphora Literary Press. This book was released on 2015-03-12 with total page 164 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neither celebrity-gawk, “misery memoir,” nor confessional melodrama, A Berkshire Boyhood is more reminiscent of such memoirs as Tobias Wolff’s This Boy’s Life and Emily Fox Gordon’s Are You Happy? In fact, A Berkshire Boyhood will strike readers as a parallel universe to Gordon’s book, her own story of growing up in Williamstown, Massachusetts, as a privileged faculty brat and young girl in the 1950s. Berkshire Boyhood is a boy’s story of growing up from working class roots in that same place and time. It explores family troubles arising out of the wounds and separations of World War II, ethnic religiosity, and adolescent sexuality (1950s variety). Its deeper appeal comes from our curiosity about the 1950s and the Boomer generation, from the fraught relations between that generation and their parents, who fought WWII, from our interest in the influence of landscape on human development, and from a vision of post-war years as a decade seething with the anger and dissent of an incipient counterculture that would explode the sixties.
Book Synopsis Life Happens in Lived Time by : K. Joe Schrott
Download or read book Life Happens in Lived Time written by K. Joe Schrott and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2014-08-08 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gathering data from over half a century of boomer watching, this book is a compilation of a hundred chapters, each with five hundred words or less. One hundred chapters symbolize the author's personal goal to join the six hundred thousand members centenarian club in his desire to reach one hundred years of vibrant life. In his reflective observations of boomer behavior, many new concerns have come to light. He views the baby boomers approaching retirement as a massive migration into an unknown destiny; many of whom are prepared, but the greater majorities are not. He has dedicated his time to take special notice of the many dichotomies that have entangled boomers in pervasively abusive lifestyles in what promises to ultimately become a harsh reality, if the necessary preretirement steps are not diligently observed. The truth is always hard to digest, but hopefully, after reaching beyond imagined personal needs, these passages will correlate into inspiration. Between 1946 and 1964, America was recovering from the Great Depression and World War II, a time when stay-home moms were honored, and fertile couples were joyfully building families; hence, the baby boomer generation was born. This is a humble effort to shed some light on problematic lifestyles, beliefs, doctrines, ideologies and boomer attitudes. The essays cover a wide range of subject matter that touches on everything from private neurosis, political intrigue, healthier diet and exercise routines, procrastination and psychological attachments. So buckle up and hunker down and think of this book as a preretirement inspirational wake-up adventure.
