{"product_id":"the-new-old-david-cravit-9781550228434","title":"The New Old: How the Boomers Are Changing Everything ... Again","description":"The oldest Baby Boomers have turned 60 so everybody's starting to talk about the \"aging of the population.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBut most of the talk is about numbers: what percentage of the population will be how old in what year, what it will mean for welfare rates or health-care costs, etc. But what's missing is the qualitative story. It's not there are more \"older people\" out there. It's that they are not the same as the older people of any previous generation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book will explore how the Baby Boomer generation is permanently destroying the previous meanings of: Aging, Retirement, Seniors, And even...maybe... Death. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe New Old\u003c\/i\u003e shows how the Boomers' simple act of refusing to age is creating a revolution -- in everything from education to employment to housing to health and beauty and, of course, to sex. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book is be backed up with solid statistical support, but it is not primarily about numbers -- it's about people. It's about new ground being broken, new ways of thinking, new kinds of social and work relationships, new products that can reduce or even eliminate the effects of aging. It will offer a sneak preview of an entirely new society that is coming -- a society in which getting your gold watch at the age of 65 will simply mean the first half of your life is over. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe book will also lay out specific strategies organizations must follow to take advantage of the opportunities -- and avoid being rendered irrelevant and uncompetitive in the new order.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Cravit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1550228439\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781550228434\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ECW Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/01\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 5.90w x 0.50d","brand":"David Cravit","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088554438911,"sku":"9781550228434","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e433c576-a3c5-49fd-80bc-5c4010a2bb8f.jpg?v=1769105414","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-new-old-david-cravit-9781550228434","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
