Book Synopsis Reminiscences of the First Baby Boomer by : Michael B White
Download or read book Reminiscences of the First Baby Boomer written by Michael B White and published by Australian Self Publishing Group. This book was released on 2024-06-20 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Using his own experiences, the author sets out to explode some myths perpetrated by later generations that Baby Boomers were an over-privileged, idle, self-indulgent generation that ruined the world. “If you remember the 60’s, you weren’t really there”. Fact or fiction? What role did they play in the transition of Australia from a White Australia, to the multi-cultural phenomenon of today? What influence did they exert on the then colonial territories of Papua and New Guinea in their successful transition onto today’s independent, modern society. Growing up in the Canberra region, spending early years at boarding schools at Galong and Inveralochy and much of his formative years in Papua New Guinea, Michael White explores how the Baby Boomers became what they are today. After retiring from careers in the public Service and then in Private Enterprise, Michael lives in retirement in Ngunnawal with his wife, Christine, and dog, Baxter. He continues his interest in family and military history through his involvement with the Australian War Memorial.
Book Synopsis Recollections: A Baby Boomer's Memories of the Fabulous Fifties by : Jim Chambers
Download or read book Recollections: A Baby Boomer's Memories of the Fabulous Fifties written by Jim Chambers and published by Jim Chambers. This book was released on 2009 with total page 186 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As one of the first post-WWII Baby Boomers, Jim Chambers' childhood and early teenage years were in the 1950s, a remarkable decade for the United States that saw enormous political, technological, and cultural changes. Although many books have covered the headline-making events of the era in great detail, few of these books give the reader a real feel for what daily life was like for Americans living in that decade, especially for kids growing up then. The author remembers the little nuts and bolts things of daily life for families during the fascinating decade known as the Fabulous Fifties. "Recollections" perfectly blends paying homage to the little day-to-day rituals with a larger scale examination of social issues and mores of the times, and it's equally entertaining on either level. "Recollections" is a warm, lovingly honest, and fascinating portrait of America in the mid-20th Century.
Book Synopsis Memories of Baby Boomers by : Debbie Dashner
Download or read book Memories of Baby Boomers written by Debbie Dashner and published by . This book was released on 2021-04-07 with total page 76 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 don't." 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.

Book excerpt: Baby Boomer Blitzkrieg (B3) is an entertaining recollection of the exciting and often tumultuous times experienced by a young Baby Boomer throughout the first 25 years of life. B3 provides the reader insights into how the American culture shaped Boomers' young lives and how a blitzkrieg of tens of millions of Boomers, in turn, shaped American culture in very dramatic ways. There were many humorous, entertaining, and unique things that Baby Boomers experienced relative to modern times. This book facilitates the reader's enjoyment of some memories that will provide a laugh or invoke some feelings of nostalgia. The hope is to live up to the caption under my high school yearbook picture: "Full of fun." In addition to entertaining Boomers, this book will be of interest to Boomer kids and grandkids who may wonder on occasion why their Boomer parents and grandparents behave in the way and hold the values that they do, oftentimes at odds with current thinking or even in conflict with today's cultural norms. There are countless life experiences that impacted Boomers' opinions and behaviors, many of which are captured in this writing.

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.

Download or read book Boomers written by Helen Andrews and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2021-01-12 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Baby Boomers (and I confess I am one): prepare to squirm and shake your increasingly arthritic little fists. For here comes essayist Helen Andrews."--Terry Castle With two recessions and a botched pandemic under their belt, the Boomers are their children's favorite punching bag. But is the hatred justified? Is the destruction left in their wake their fault or simply the luck of the generational draw? In Boomers, essayist Helen Andrews addresses the Boomer legacy with scrupulous fairness and biting wit. Following the model of Lytton Strachey's Eminent Victorians, she profiles six of the Boomers' brightest and best. She shows how Steve Jobs tried to liberate everyone's inner rebel but unleashed our stultifying digital world of social media and the gig economy. How Aaron Sorkin played pied piper to a generation of idealistic wonks. How Camille Paglia corrupted academia while trying to save it. How Jeffrey Sachs, Al Sharpton, and Sonya Sotomayor wanted to empower the oppressed but ended up empowering new oppressors. Ranging far beyond the usual Beatles and Bill Clinton clichés, Andrews shows how these six Boomers' effect on the world has been tragically and often ironically contrary to their intentions. She reveals the essence of Boomerness: they tried to liberate us, and instead of freedom they left behind chaos.
Download or read book Boomer Nation written by Steve Gillon and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2010-05-11 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1964, form the single largest demographic spike in American history. Never before or since have birth rates shot up and remained so high so long, with some obvious results: when the Boomers were kids, American culture revolved around families and schools; when they were teenagers, the United States was wracked by rebelliousness; now, as mature adults, the Boomers have led America to become the richest and most powerful country in the history of the world. Boomer Nation will for the first time offer an incisive look into this generation that has redefined America's culture in so many ways, from women's rights and civil rights to religion and politics. Steve Gillon combines firsthand reporting of the lives of six Boomers and their families with a broad look at postwar American history in a fascinating mix of biography and history. His characters, like America itself, reflect a variety of heritages: rich and poor, black and white, immigrant and native born. Their lives take very different paths, yet are shaped by key events and trends in similar ways. They put a human face on the Boomer generation, showing what it means to grow up amid widespread prosperity, with an explosion of democratic autonomy that led to great upheavals but also a renewal from below of our churches, industries, and even the armed forces. The same generation dismissed as pampered and selfish has led a revival of religion in America; the same generation that unleashed the women's movement has also shifted our politics into its most market-oriented, anti-governmental era since Woodrow Wilson. Gillon draws many lessons from this "generational history" -- above all, that the Boomers have transformed America from the security- and authority-seeking culture of their parents to the autonomy- and freedom-rich world of today. When the "greatest generation" was young and not yet at war, it was widely derided as selfish and spoiled. Only in hindsight, long after the sacrifices of World War II, did it gain its sterling reputation. Today, as Boomer America rises to the challenges of the war on terror, we may be on the cusp of a reevaluation of the generation of Presidents Bush and Clinton. That generation has helped make America the richest, strongest nation on the planet, and as Gillon's book proves, it has had more influence on the rest of us than any other group. Boomer Nation is an eye-opening reinterpretation of the past six decades.
Download or read book My Generation written by Nowick Gray and published by Cougar Webworks. This book was released on 2019-11-10 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What if the system broke down, and you had to find a way to live? What if you wanted to find a better way, before it all went down? What if a whole generation faced these questions for the first time? That was My Generation. The year of my birth, 1950, was the pivot of the "American Century." Driving cross-country, the dream took shape in reality... and began to shape reality in its image. Endless opportunity gave birth to a permanent yearning--requiring, in the national guise, highways to everywhere, and permanent war. I foraged a tunnel through that hunger, tasting a future of loves gained and lost, freedom's bliss and cost, nature lost and found. Like so many of the Baby Boom, I entered the world sequestered in incubator and crib; was moved by corporate edict from city to city; molded by a society beholden to a suspect suburban dream. In 1965 I exited the public school system and discovered the alternative values of Quakers. Facing the doom of society, by war, and of family, by alcohol, I heard the anthem of hippiedom promising a better way: Live for today. At Dartmouth College, we in the Class of '72 saw ourselves as the vanguard of an historical transition. The campus revolution came to a head after the Kent State shootings of 1970; but the Vietnam War raged on. Taking refuge in literature and nature, drugs, sex and rock 'n roll, my peers and I tried to envision escape to a better world. I plotted my own course of freedom--off to California, mecca of easy money and free love. The blue-collar blues spun me first into a sideshow of experimental arts, then drove me back to the cloister of academics, and self-exile to Canada. At the University of Victoria I skirted the problem of survival by distancing myself from it. Nature, my constant muse, became an abstraction, an object of study and analysis. At last I saw the dead end and danced out of it, traveling with a woman who shared my dreams of a sustainable future on the doorstep of wilderness. Three years in the Quebec Arctic as teachers taught us timeless values and skills of the Inuit, who not only survived in the harshest environment, but stood up to colonial rule with their own nonviolent revolution during the Bill 101 crisis. Still outsiders in the North, we envisioned a new life inspired by our summers in a utopian community in backwoods BC. Finally, at the age of thirty--the very age of adulthood defined by my generation--my spiral of changes landed me in the place I could call "my country." There my stubborn ideals would be put to the test of nature, my chronic freedom traded for a self-chosen home. I could recreate myself--mountain man and homesteader, peace crusader and new father--and begin a new generation.
