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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInformative, alarming, and aphorisitc, \u003ci\u003eThe Disappearance of Childhood\u003c\/i\u003e is a triumph of history and prophecy.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Disappearance of Childhood | Neil Postman | Paperback | 9780679751663 | Used: Like New | Sociology 1741042 (temp: 7)","offer_id":48769839661208,"sku":"1741042","price":7.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61kUMMPyPVL.jpg?v=1774426117","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/disappearance-of-childhood","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
