Smithsonian Miscellaneous Collections, V99, No. 6, August 28, 1940.
After two decades of technological disruption, economic collapse,
social upheaval, political polarization and a war on terror, one
generation carries on its shoulders the responsibility to return us
to a time of social balance and economic growth. The Hooked Up
Generation was born into disruption, but is destined to lead the
world into a transcendental period of tolerance and peace. They are
hooked on the Internet, hooked together by the Internet, and
hooking up in relationships managed and defined by the Internet.
Jack Myers tells you why today s college students may prove to
be the next Great Generation and possibly the greatest generation
of the 21st century. The Hooked Up Generation will make you hopeful
about its future and yours.
Once again, Jack Myers has his fingers on the pulse on the very
latest, the impulses of the kids who will one day run the whole
show, and he has the statistics to back up his cogent insights.
This is by turns an absorbing, disturbing and ultimately
indispensable account of a hugely misunderstood demographic group
that will shape our future. Myers clearly has done his homework and
the result is this superb study.

At the Newhouse School, we are living with the Hooked Up

educators, parents and all those who care about the next generation
of leaders.

These Internet Pioneers, born between 1991 and 1995, are not
like us. They absorbed the Internet like a native language while
the rest of us struggled to learn it. Any time now, these pioneers
will be commanding the agenda and we d better understand them.
Hooked Up is the best guide to the future that I ve yet come
across.
Sir Martin Sorrell, CEO, WPP Group
The Hooked Up Generation is rewriting feminism, sexuality,
politics, education, language, relationships, and media. This
accessible and fascinating book brings new insights into how our
cyber-society is shaping a captivating generation. The message is
clear: the Hooked Up Generation offers hope for the future of our
planet.

Formerly The Longman Dictionary of Poetic Terms, this newly updated
version contains over 1,600 entries on the devices, techniques,
history, theory, and terminology of poetry from the Classical
period to the present. To bring it up-to-date, the authors have
added fifty new entries and examples. The numerous quotations from
poems are especially useful. The Dictionary of Poetic Terms is
compact enough for classroom use, but thorough enough to be the
definitive reference handbook for poets and scholars, and the many
writers who are both.
Seven chronologically arranged essays--each covering roughly a
decade from 1908 through 1988--plus two special-focus essays on
black and female poets, an introduction by Ed Folsom, and a preface
by editors Jack Myers and David Wojahn, outline the critical,
creative, aesthetic, and cultural forces at work in the American
poetry of this century. Several contributors, including Michael
Heller, Richard Jackson, and Jonathan Holden, have recently
published important book-length critical studies in their essay
area; all have published well-regarded collections of their own
poetry.
