Next comes an Awakening, a time of spiritual exploration and rebellion. Then comes an Unraveling, in which individualism triumphs over crumbling institutions.

With blazing originality, \u003ci\u003eThe Fourth Turning\u003c\/i\u003e illuminates the past, explains the present, and reimagines the future. Most remarkably, it offers an utterly persuasive prophecy about how America's past will predict what comes next. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eStrauss 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 twenty-year eras--or \"turnings\"--that comprise history's seasonal rhythm of growth, maturation, entropy, and rebirth. Illustrating this cycle through a brilliant analysis of the post-World War II period, \u003ci\u003eThe Fourth Turning \u003c\/i\u003eoffers bold predictions about how all of us can prepare, individually and collectively, for this rendezvous with destiny.","brand":"Crown Publishing Group (NY)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48710535020761,"sku":"9780767900461","price":22.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0787\/3121\/5065\/files\/9780767900461.jpg?v=1778806553","url":"https:\/\/www.blacknectarbooks.com\/products\/the-fourth-turning-what-the-cycles-of-history-tell-us-about-americas-next-rendezvous-with-destiny-paperback","provider":"blacknectar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
