Paperback. Condición: Good. Generation Y takes a critical look at the Baby Boomers in this veritable encyclopedia of Cold War invention.

It takes the seemingly quirky features of the postwar life style and shows how they are intimately connected to the economic, political and psychological forces of the period. Written by smart young group of scholars, groomed in their methods and introduced to us by a proven innovator in architectural thinking. Great visuals will amuse and delight the reader.…
