Author Description

"- A comprehensive examination of the impact of the Baby Boomers and their themes of freedom, diversity, and choice, along with their information and technology, on our latest emerging generation. "- Based on his major new survey of over 5,000 Canadian teenagers, including a special sample of Aboriginals, and interpreted through the eyes of his unparalleled national surveys of teens and adults spanning the mid-1970s through now. "- A report on the good, the bad, and the unfinished -- the politically pleasing and politically incorrect. "- A portrait of everything worth knowing about teenagers -- their values, their loves and likes, what they are thinking and doing sexually, their self-images, anxieties and fears, what they are doing with all that technology, their awareness of what is happening in the world, their family experiences, beliefs and spirituality, and their hopes and expectations as they look to the future. "Written in Bibby's signature style -- the solid, stimulating researcher and lively, engaging author."-- Back cover.
