From the vogue for nubile models to the explosion in the juvenile crime rate, this modern classic of social history and media traces the precipitous decline of childhood in America today-and the corresponding threat to the notion of adulthood. Deftly marshaling a vast array of historical and demographic research, Neil Postman, author of Technopoly, suggests that childhood is a relatively recent invention, which came into being as the new medium of print imposed divisions between children and adults. But now these divisions are eroding under the barrage of television, which turns the adult secrets of sex and violence into popular entertainment and pitches both news and advertising at the intellectual level of ten-year-olds. Informative, alarming, and aphorisitc, The Disappearance of Childhood is a triumph of history and prophecy.Binding Type: Paperback

⭐ Strong and reliable, but a bit bulky
Size: 18" Blue
Pros: Heavy-duty feel, doesn’t slip, fits most lug nuts
Cons: Larger size makes storage tricky
Experience: Used this during a tire change on my SUV. The grip gave me good leverage and felt secure, though I wish it folded for easier trunk storage.
Who It’s For: Drivers who want a sturdy emergency tool.
Verdict: 4 stars — dependable, gets the job done.
