{"product_id":"9781039172845","title":"Canadian Boomers: Growing Up In Manitoba In The Fifties And Sixties","description":"It was the era of the Cold War, shiny new cars, rock 'n roll, and the magic allure of television. Entertainment was literally turning from black-and-white to colour, and its audiences were likewise bursting into adulthood in living technicolour. Canadian Boomers: Growing Up in Manitoba in the Fifties and Sixties invites readers to turn back the analogue clock to a different age when life was simpler. These relatable baby boomer memories provide insights into city and rural life during the age of post-war stability and consumerism. The co-authors tell their stories with humour, warmth, and nostalgia. They present personal and authentic reflections of the period, offering astute commentary on various elements of life as a whole generation knew it. This is a lively collection of fifty-five short stories and vignettes that paint a picture of Manitoba during the fifties and sixties: growing up on the farm; fun in the city; the bands that changed popular music; the high school experience; and surviving the fifties and sixties. Covering childhood diseases, Christmas holidays, sports, technology, and family traditions, readers are invited to look back and see themselves in these snapshots from a shared past. The stories in Canadian Boomers show innocent similarities and infinite differences across the unfurling of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eAuthor: \u003c\/b\u003eFrederick Ross, Helga Ross\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublisher: \u003c\/b\u003eFriesenpress\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003ePublication Date: \u003c\/b\u003eJun 08, 2023\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eNumber of Pages: \u003c\/b\u003e216 pages\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eLanguage: \u003c\/b\u003eEnglish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eBinding: \u003c\/b\u003ePaperback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-10: \u003c\/b\u003e1039172849\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e| \u003cb\u003eISBN-13: \u003c\/b\u003e9781039172845\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Friesenpress","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47917412254001,"sku":"9781039172845","price":22.05,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/8215\/8385\/products\/9781039172845.jpg?v=1702301341","url":"https:\/\/www.recomparo.com\/products\/9781039172845","provider":"ReComparo.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
