Críticas
You have probably heard of Woodstock, Twiggy, The Beatles, and the assassination of John F Kennedy. However, there are many more events that span this 10-year timeline. One page with one photograph is devoted to each summary in this eye-opening album. You will relive politics, protests, the revolution of art, television, movies, and much more. A must-have for history readers and lovers of the rebellious '60s.-- (10/06/2018) The 1960s were a seminal decade that changed politics, science, society, and culture. In this illustrated time line of the era, 100 key events from the 1960s are presented in words and black-and-white photos from the U.S., Europe, Latin America, Africa, and Asia. The year-by-year time line covers 5-to-12 topics for each year, with each topic having a 1-page summary and photograph. In choosing topics, the authors looked for events that had worldwide importance, such as the development of the birth-control pill in 1960, the building of the Berlin Wall in 1961, the Detroit race riot in 1967, and the moon landing in 1969. Besides major political events, the book looks at the social and cultural impact of television, the Peace Corps, short skirts, the Beatles, Hare Krishnas, women's liberation, flower children, and Woodstock. The Sixties is designed to be a delightful reminder of those turbulent times for those who lived through them and a fascinating introduction for those who didn't. A good purchase for high-school and public libraries.-- (12/14/2018)
Reseña del editor
An illustrated timeline of a transformative decade. In the 1960s, social systems worldwide saw fundamental social and political change. In the U.S., civil rights movements fought against segregation; in Western Europe, students rejected stagnant post-World War II ideologies; and in South America, Africa and the Far East, countries broke free from colonial and military oppressors. For a time, a new idealism rose, especially among America's young, which culminated in the "summer of love" in 1967 and the Hippie counterculture. The decade would end tumultuously however with protest movements driven by American Indians, gays and women demanding recognition and equal rights. Politically, a new world order was on the rise. The Soviet Union and Eastern bloc would take shape leading to the Cuba crisis and the Berlin Wall. Protestors around the world became a voice against interventionist policies, including the Vietnam War from which the U.S. was forced to retreat after losing thousands of young lives. By the end of the decade, the North-South and East-West divides were deeply entrenched, a wave of dictators had taken power, the Cold War and the anti-nuclear movement were in full swing and the U.S. had landed a man on the moon. The Sixties: Freedom, Change and Revolution chronicles this chaotic decade by laying out a timeline of 100 key events driven by people, technology, politics, societal change, popular culture and more. Some years were more eventful than others and these get more pages. Each spread covers a single year within the decade, presenting a full complement of succinct text and photographs. This book is a fascinating album for those who lived in the 60s and a vivid introduction for those born afterwards. It is also an excellent starting point for projects and further reading about a vast variety of topics and issues, all of them part of the foundation on which our world now rests.
