{"product_id":"the-generation-gap-sky-adler-9798901947050","title":"The Generation Gap: Parents, Children, Music, Manners, Technology, and the Endless Battle Between Old and New","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe generation gap is often treated as a modern problem, blamed on smartphones, social media, video games, television, rock and roll, or changing manners. Yet the conflict between old and young is far older than any modern invention. Across history, older generations have worried that the young were becoming disrespectful, distracted, immoral, impatient, badly dressed, poorly spoken, politically reckless, or too quick to abandon inherited values. Younger generations, in turn, have often felt misunderstood by adults trying to guide them with rules shaped by a world already changing.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Generation Gap\u003c\/strong\u003e tells the long, fact-based story of that recurring human pattern. Moving from ancient complaints about youth to the rise of schooling, printed books, industrial cities, adolescence, jazz, rock and roll, television, punk, video games, computers, the internet, smartphones, social media, climate politics, and modern work, this book follows the many ways families and societies have argued over change. Written in a polished, accessible narrative style, it shows that the battle between old and new is not a passing crisis but one of history's most persistent forces.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis is a book about parents and children, memory and arrival, discipline and freedom, fear and possibility. It explains why every generation thinks the next one has gone too far-and why the argument never truly ends.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sky Adler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798901947050\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Publishdrive\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/08\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 236\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.71lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Sky Adler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49097362604287,"sku":"9798901947050","price":23.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-generation-gap-sky-adler-9798901947050","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
