BOOMERS. What was the World like that you inherited? And "How We Changed The World." There are over 80 million Boomers in the U.S. If you look through the data it is obvious how the citizens of the United States of America (YOU) fought for honor, decency, high moral values and against all of the warnings we started to slide ever so slowly down that path to where we are today. What so many of us do not remember is how long and hard we fought. This book will mean something different to every person who reads it because we are all different with a common ground. Our intention is to take you back in time and allow you to feel exactly what it was like. This book is a powerful academic resource that can be used on many different levels. Above all it is down-to-earth and extremely interesting to just sit and read.
