"This book is an outstanding study of shifting patterns of civic engagement among successive generations of American citizens. A key finding: generational differences matter, and we should pay more attention to indications of declining political involvement among young adults."--William A. Galston, Saul Stern Professor, School of Public Policy, University of Maryland
