      abstract = {This book suggests that the enduring problem of  generations remains that of knowledge: how society  conceptualises the relationship between past, present and  future, and the ways in which this is transmitted by adults  to the young. Reflecting on Mannheim's seminal essay 'The  Problem of Generations', the author explores why  generations have become a focus for academic interest and  policy developments today. Bristow argues that developments  in education, teaching and parenting culture seek to  resolve tensions of our present-day risk society through  imposing an artificial distance between the generations.  Bristow's book will be of interest to students and scholars  in the fields of Sociology, Social Policy, Education,  Family studies, Gerontology and Youth studies. .},
