Abstract

This review of the 1997 paperback, The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy, helps Extension educators understand our turbulent times and anticipate changes predicted for the next two decades. The authors, William Strauss and Neil Howe, demonstrate how our "linear" paradigm of history should be replaced with their "cyclic" theory in which four phases of about twenty years each are repeated in a predictable sequence.
