Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This work explores a generational history from America's Colonial period to the United States of contemporary times. A novel historical approach relies on generational markers every 15th year, rather than yearly astronomical dates. This method makes history more accessible and its patterns more apparent. The phases of history, identified from cultures presented in an earlier volume, are: 1) "Invisible" Beginnings; 2) Establishment and Testing; 3) Novel Consolidation and Opening Up, 4) Crisis and Creativity; 5) Empire and Inclusion, and 6) Rigidification or Renewal. This history does not seek to hide or obscure the shadow side of America, nor does it fail to present the considerable beauty and light present, especially during the 30s generational phase. Come journey with us and experience historical events and people's lives generation by generation, and see how they resonate with an historical phasing. Such awareness, the author contends, will help us make the generational choice of our times.
