Description
|
|
|
|
Two earth-shattering World Wars; the dawn and dissolution of the Soviet Union, and the countries formed in its wake; the establishment of the European Union; the end of apartheid in South Africa; the push for equal rights all over the world; the Kyoto Protocol—these and many other changes happened in the last century and have shaped the world we know today. This decade-by-decade review charts the most significant historical, social, political, and cultural moments of the last 100 years, from the introduction of Kodak's Brownie camera to Barack Obama's presidential candidacy. Illustrated throughout with hundreds of full-page archival photographs, the book presents a thousand events in the past century that have helped define the world we live in today.
