Synopsis

Book by Ken Dychtwald Joe Flower

Présentation de l'éditeur

Based on fifteen years of research by a leading expert on aging, this is the first comprehensive analysis of the consequences of the aging baby-boomer population on society. Examining the choices and challenges for the future, Age Wave discusses topics such as the cyclic lifestyle, reinventing the family, elder power at the polls, and redesigning America.
