"With deliciously detailed descriptions and almost 300 illustrations, "The Great Funk" captures the shapes, smells and sensibilities of the chaotic and conflicted 'Me Decade.'" --Glenn C. Altschuler, "The Philadelphia Inquirer" "Hine displays a simultaneously sincere and ironic affection for the era, and treats the decade's goofiest icons (e.g., the pet rock, the Ford Pinto, Bobby Riggs v. Billie Jean King) with warmth, humor and reverence . . . It's the cannily selected photos that will likely cause the casual book browser to stand up and take notice . . .
