Description: In the last three years, the Millennial Generation has emerged as a powerful political and social force. Currently including 95 million young people born between 1978 and 2000, the Millennials are the largest generation in history. They are also the first post-ideological, post-political, and post-partisan generation, and they are spearheading a period of sweeping change in America and around the world. Generation We explores the emerging power of the Millennial Generation, shows how they (and their supporters from other generations) are poised to change our nation and our world for the better, and lays out a powerful plan for progressive change that today s youth is ready to implement. Generation We presents for the first time the results of a major research study into the characteristics of the Millennial Generation, including an in-depth survey of 2,000 individuals and a series of twelve geographically- and demographically-diverse focus groups, all sponsored by author Eric Greenberg and conducted by Gerstein | Agne Strategic Communications, one of the most respected research organizations in the United States. It s the essential guide to the values, dreams, and enormous potential of the Millennials, and could serve as a spark to help kindle the coming youth movement that will restore the damaged American dream. The young members of Generation We are inheriting a world rife with war, environmental degradation, dysfunctional health and educational systems, dangerous dependence on fossil fuels and foreign oil, creeping totalitarianism, diminished civil rights, and a fragile economy. Generation We believes that we must innovate our way out of this complex set of problems, discovering and implementing solutions that will work on a global scale and we need to do it soon. Generation We suggests an agenda by which today s youth can help lead an American renaissance. As Greenberg and Weber show, the best way to launch the Millennial revolution is with Project FREE, a massive scientific and industrial program to move America beyond fossil fuels by inventing the next generation of non-carbon based energy a program that will save the environment, end our dependence on foreign oil, create millions of jobs, and jump-start a massive economic boom. Project FREE could be one of humankind s greatest achievements and a proud legacy for the Millennial generation. Generation We also answers the question, What can I do to help turn this vision of a better America into reality? It offers a list of specific steps citizens of any age can take to help promote the progressive ideals and program outlined in the book. Generation We is the book that can inspire a generation to achieve new heights of greatness, allowing Americans to take back control of our lives, our communities, our country, and our future.

Review Summary: Real facts with concrete plans of action |
Date: 2008-12-02 |
|

Details: As a "member" of Generation We, I was able to see a lot of my own opinions and feelings reflected in the research of this book. I liked that the book included a lot of good research and that it wasn't dry because the researched was backed up with engaging summaries and inspiring plans of action.
The book encourages Generation We to act now. It doesn't look at this generation as a group of kids or young adults in preparation for involvement in the coming years. It looks at this generation as a powerful force now that can begin to make changes now.
The book presents some challenging ideas and does a great job at synthesizing current social ills in a way that shows how they are all connected. Then it gives concrete ideas on Generation We can begin to solve these social ills.
This is a call to action. If our generation ignores the points that Greenberg and Weber bring up, we will follow the mistake of our parents and leave the planet in worse shape for our own children. |

Review Summary: Whats up with Generation We? |

Details: If you are interested in learning about what happened to inspire a whole generation of young people to vote in unprecedented fashion so bringing about change in America... then here is the information you need to see.
I'm a visual person, so pretty pictures are sometimes more important than words. For figures and stats, I find colored graphs more attractive than spreadsheets.
This book is an easy read, makes sense, and is pretty down the middle of the political isle. I'm part of the generation running up the tab on this earth party, so I hope these ideas catch fire and inspire the kids.
If you want to learn about benefits to innovating the next generation of energy to society, these ideas are solid. Coffee table compliant and green friendly. Just text me. |

Details: Generation We is a book that offers lots of interesting food for thought about our current youth and how they play a part in the state of the world. What I like about the book is that it is very well written, packed with interesting facts and exciting visuals, and clearly states the problems and offers a plan. The recent presidential campaign is proving the book's survey findings to be true. The book gave me lots of hope and optimism for the future. It's a great book for any age. |

Details: This book is a true gift! Greenberg and Weber really did their homework. They were able to capture data to substantiate the sheer political and social force brewing within the Millennial generation and lay out a powerful plan for progressive change. But this book is not only about numbers, it captures and hopes and fear of the largest generation in American history. The flow of the book makes for a quick and easy read.
Generation WE is a must read! |
