498 pages, map endpapers, cloth, dj, very good. 1st edition. From the dj, 'Millions of readers literally defined their lives through Gail Sheehy's international bestseller Passages, named by a Library of Congress survey as one of the most influential books of our times. Seven years ago she set out to write a sequel, but instead she discovered a historic revolution in the adult life cycle. People are taking longer to grow up and much longer to die, thereby shifting all the stages of adulthood - by up to ten years. She traces radical changes for the generations now in the Tryout Twenties and Turbulent Thirties and finds baby boomers in the Flourishing Forties rejecting the whole notion of middle age. In its place Gail Sheehy discovers and maps out a completely new frontier - Second Adulthood in middle life.'
