Reviews

'This is a major contribution to the study of generations. Drawing on a comprehensive review of the theoretical context for generations in the study of time, Judith Burnett presents a powerful conceptualisation of the sociological idea of the generation. An innovative typology of generations is illustrated by case studies of the First World War generation and the post-war baby boomers. This is a fascinating study that deserves to have a major impact on future research.' John Scott, University of Plymouth, UK
