Baby Boomers

This ground-breaking study of the baby boomer generation who are now entering old age breaks new ground in ageing research. This post-war cohort has experienced a range of social cultural and medical changes in regard to their notions of body from the introduction of the Pill and the decoupling of sex and procreation to the H-Bomb and Earthrise. Yet paradoxically ageing is also universal. This exciting book reflects the intersection of time ageing body and identity to give a more nuanced and enlightened understanding of the ageing process.
