A fascinating ushering out of the old, this book captures, in brilliant black and white photographs, the ever-changing nature of the 20th century from movies to microfiche; from the discovery of penicillin in Dolly the Sheep; from suffrage and civil rights to consumerism for the masses; from space exploration to modernism and multimedia; and everything in between. This superb collection of some of this century's most memorable events has been carefully selected from the unique Hulton-Getty archive and the Independent newspaper. The text tells the story behind the pictures, and highlights key events in each year.
