Evan Wright

Berkley Trade, 2008

AWESOME ACCOUNT OF IRAQ'S INVASION!!!
Currently deployed in Iraq for the second time, I found this book a very interesting read. Not knowing anything about the book, i heard some of my marines talking about it and about the quality of the contents. Having only one copy, once i got my hands on it, it was deteriorating rapidly. I read the book in two days, since i couldn't put it down. I highly recommend this book and cant hardly ... 		  
  







  
  
Founding Brothers: The Revolutionary Generation379 reviews
Joseph J. Ellis

Turtleback Books Distributed by Demco Media, 2004

A tasteful look into each of those fascinating men
In the afterglow of the HBO series on John Adams, I grew interested in some of the founding fathers, many of whom had seemed boring to me ever since I read their bios in grade school. Ellis does a highly intelligent and readable job of laying out the personalities, conflicts and battles of the whole group during the first years of the nation. I particularly like the chapter on the duel between ... 		  
  







  
  
The Greatest Generation462 reviews
Tom Brokaw

Random House, 2004

Good ...
I think Tom Brokaw should be applauded for writing this book. A lot of reviewers have commented the contents, which I will not say much. This is not a book that I can read in one-shot as it is a collate of several stories. Some people have complained about the book for lacking in substance. But, I think the beauty of the book is the "awareness" or appreciation created by these short ...

Generations: The History of America's Future, 1584 to 206929 reviews
Neil Howe, William Strauss

Harper Perennial, 1992

This analytical historical model holds up well 16 years later.
I think Strauss and Howe are on to something. Remember we are in the realm of social sciences, and no analytical model is ever 100% correct; if you reach 60% that's good. I think Howe and Strauss cleared this hurdle by a wide margin. I support my opinion on the following considerations. First, based on all the different generations I have met so far the Strauss and Howe model fits well. ...

Jean M. Twenge

Free Press, 2007

Everyone needs to read this book!
A reviewer, college professor., May 9, 2008, Everyone needs to read this book! I used this book as a textbook in my college research class. My students could not stop talking about it. Very well researched and well written, it is an interesting read as well. My students told me that this was not only one book that they would not be 'selling back to the bookstore', but that they would be leaving ... 		  
  







  
  
The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future (Or, Don't ...13 reviews
Mark Bauerlein

Tarcher, 2008

Help Is Here At Last
I love this kind of book. Saul Bellow, if only you were alive to read it! Of course, it is too late, but it is always fun to read the thoughts of an educated man who has the guts to expose the poverty of America's youth. Emory, the author's university, must get a pretty good cross-section of America's upper-middle-class youth - you know, like the lacrosse players down at Duke. It's the same set. ...

Candice Kelsey

Da Capo Press, 2007

For those internet-savvy or not, this book is a keeper!
I'd like to think that I'm fairly internet-savvy, but when I read Candice Kelsey's book "Generation MySpace," I was blown out of the water. Now I know what my students really mean! I'm not a parent yet, but I can see how useful it will be to parents who want to understand what their kids are into. It's all about the internet these days, and it is a scary, unfamiliar world to many of us. Here ...

The Second Generation43 reviews

Wizards of the Coast, 2002

after test of the twins, comes the second generation
I was told by a friend that this book was not as good as chronicles or legends. So I didn't buy it or read it. I've found that to have been a mistake, since the book it very good. It binds together events happening in the test of the twins and the dragons of summer flame. It may not involve the old heroes of the lance as much as previous books but brings fort new heroes, and foes. I'd ...

Generation X: Tales for an Accelerated Culture107 reviews
Douglas Coupland

St. Martin's Griffin, 1991

Creative, Unusual, Thought Provoking
This is the second Coupland book I have read (after JPod) and found this book, although difficult going at times, ultimately rewarding. For quite a bit of the book, I didn't think it was going too well. Clear plotlines and stereotyped, easy to understand characters are not traits of this book. It's not a super action packed book and generally it isn't an extraordinary tale. It's a lot more ... 		  
  







  
  
Temptation of a Generation12 reviews
Danielle Tiano, with Karen Child

Self Published, 2007

This book makes The Boys to Men transition
Wow, I never thought I would ever read a book that would cover such a topic in a non-threatning way. i think this is one that young boys should read and I would love to get feedback on how it helps girls. Back in the day, you found adult magazines under the bed. Today, with the Internet you never know unless your monitoring them. One thing a parent can do to curb Internet surfing is to keep ...

Brian Carroll

McGraw-Hill, 2006

Every company leader ought to read this book
This book does a great job of covering an important topic that few companies in the business to business space get. Most companies look for the "silver bullet" but there is no such thing. In this world of emails, voicemails and meetings, it is harder and harder to get in to see senior executives. Only patient and consistent nurturing will build your credibility and get you in. Read this ...
