Förlagets beskrivning
To celebrate the turn of the century and the new millennium, The Eventful Century series presents the vast panorama of the last hundred years- a century which has witnessed the transition from horse-drawn transport to space travel, and from the first telephones to the information superhighway. The Eventful Century chronicles epoch-making events like the outbreak of the two world wars, the Russian Revolution and the rise and fall of communism. But major events are only part of the glittering kaleidoscope. It also describes the everyday background- the way people lived, how they worked, what they ate and drank, how much they earned, the way they spent their leisure time, the books they read, and the crimes, scandals, and unsolved mysteries that set them talking. Here are fads and crazes like the Hula-Hoop and Rubik's Cube... fashions like the New Look and the miniskirt... breakthroughs in entertainment, such as the birth of the movies... medical milestones such as the discovery of penicillin... and marvels of modern architecture and engineering
