While it is doubtful to say that this works is scientific, not least to its use of prophesies as a description of what one generation can expect from the next, it is nevertheless a compelling hypothesis that adolescents and adults absorb inputs and mold themselves around the world they come to inhabit, and that this likewise forms their outlook of the future and thus future society.Should you dismiss this approach to historical understanding and prediction, you will at least be delighted in a fairly broad treatment of the last few centuries of Western history (though American centric and obviously heavily pop cultural in its treatment of recent times), that shaped societies into what led us to be here today.

NATIONAL BESTSELLER A startling vision of what the cycles of history predict for the future.USA WeekendWilliam Strauss and Neil Howe will change the way you see the worldand your place in it.With blazing originality,The Fourth Turningilluminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about howAmericas past will predict its future. Strauss and Howe base this vision on a provocative theory of American history. The authors look back five hundred years and uncover a distinct pattern: Modern history moves in cycles, each one lasting about the length of a long human life, each composed of four erasor turningsthat last about twenty years and that always arrive in the same order.In The Fourth Turning, the authors illustrate these cycles using abrilliant analysis of the post World War II period.First comes a High, a period of confident expansion as a new order takes root after the old has been swept away. Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion against the now established order. Then comes an Unraveling, an increasingly troubled era in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions. Last comes a Crisisthe Fourth Turningwhen society passes through a great and perilous gate in history. Together, the four turnings comprise history's seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth.The Fourth Turningoffers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for Americas next rendezvous with destiny.
