Description
Howard Chudacoff reveals that our intense age consciousness has developed only gradually since the late nineteenth century. As he explains how we came to take our own ages and those of others into constant consideration, he explores a wide range of topics, including demographic change, the development of pediatrics and psychological testing, and popular music from the early 1800s to the present.
