How Youth Changed America in the 60's

Finally. Now we're getting somewhere.
In an amazingly clear and concise 175 pages or so the history and influence of the Boomer generation is laid out for a young adult audience. Starting with the post-war population boom and suburban expansion, the book focuses on the various key elements and movements that brought

This is the story of Tom Mayo, nickname Miracle Wimp. Sixteen years old, further down on the pecking order, working his way through the vicissitudes of social life in high school. Should have been in Computer Animation, wound up in wood shop.
Where is this story going? Good question. Page by page there's a new vignettes, each no longer than a page or two,
Thanks for pointing this one out. I'll be thrilled to know I'm bringing the Black Panthers into the library!
As a gen x-er I refuse to take any responsibility (isn't that what we do best :)?) for any of the messes we are in. It has all been the fault of people much older and richer than me.

Fuse, sorry about the delay. I went back over the book and cannot really say I found factual errors that I was aware of. I'd be curious to know what they were. Perhaps they didn't appear wrong to me because I learned the same errors... or was too young to verify information first hand? Please, do tell, let us all know!
I would also be interested in hearing about any inaccuracies. I tried to be as careful as possible when writing the book. The only mistake I've found is one that the proofreader missed. Maynard G. Krebs is incorrectly called Maynard Grebs. Somehow the period, space and K were dropped in the layout process.BTW, my wife Elise Whittemore-Hill designed the book. It would be so good without her.
