"The causes, celebrities, and defining moments of the baby boomer generation have all been captured by Peter Simon's camera in the course of his journey from the 1960s into the new millennium.

Love-ins, sit-ins, antiwar demonstrations, the "back to the earth" movement, communes, protests, nude beaches, the New Age quest for spirituality, reggae and the Rastafarians, following the Grateful Dead and the New York Mets, and finally the idyllic life on Martha's Vineyard - no other photographer has so evocatively portrayed the kaleidoscopic saga of this generation.".

"Accompanying these images of an era is a nostalgic, autobiographical amble through Simon's eventful life, a text full of wit and angst. In this astonishing record of the far-ranging experiences of his generation, Peter Simon has captured many of the major figures and events - both in the mainstream and counterculture - of the past forty years."--BOOK JACKET.
