Reviews

Beaulieu’s concern for our “abandoned” younger generations is wide-ranging and documented, but not pedantic. It does not water down, and does not talk down. It beckons. One illuminating device is the pairing of ideas, e.g., the progress and regression of culture, or our wonder at the science of Galileo’s telescope but our failure to embrace the reality of ultrasound. The author places into clear relief many modern-day mind traps that too often are accepted without thought. This work is recommended for all audiences, but especially millennials interested in an imaginative critique of current personal and cultural confusion. -- Andrew Tadie
