Announcing two new books from Ted Polhemus . . .
64 years in the making – hope you like it. I think BOOM! – A Baby Boomer Memoir 1947-2022 is my most important book – weaving together social history, personal memoir, pop culture, youth culture, politics, design, TV, fiction, food, sex, drugs, Rock ‘n’ Roll and a lot else besides to make sense of what has happened to our world from WWII to the present day – and beyond.
From Neptune, New Jersey to Swinging London, Rhythm & Blues to Punk, the rise of suburbia to the rebirth of the city, modernism to post-modernism, I Love Lucy to The Adams Family, Playboy to ‘Make Love Not War’, boom to bust, LSD to ecstasy, Hipsters to, um, Hipsters, Cool Jazz to Cool Hunting, youthculture to ‘Kidults’, ‘Us’ to ‘Me, Me, Me’.
400-pages – including lists of all the most important music, films, TV and fiction for each decade, a Timeline to enable you to do the time warp and a comprehensive index.
>>>You can buy BOOM! print-on-demand (you order it, they print it and send it to you) or as an e-book download for Amazon Kindle complete with 125+ links to the best film, music and TV of each decade >>> BOOM!
or check your local Amazon site.

Or if you want the illustrated version . . .
>>>Orbiting Neptune – a baby boomer memoir is a pictorial companion to BOOM! and is available print-on-demand and e-book download from http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/detail/2583817
