Fülszöveg

LIFE: Century ofChange is a fast-paced and enthralling look at how our daily lives were radically transformed between 1900 and 2000 - the houses we lived in, the food we ate, the technology we relied on and the ways we shopped, traveled, worked and played. This "Century ofChange" has left no eorner oflife untouched; communication has progressed from the BAPTlSTS for KENNEDY pen to the Pentium chip, transportation from the Model T to the Boeing 747 and medical knowledge from the early X-ray to genetic engineering. In more than 700 remarkable photographs, gathered from around the world, this ambitious book unfolds the century past in 10 ehapters, each exploring a separate theme: home, machines, lifespan and medical advances, design, family, shopping and the consumer economy, sex, celebrity, entertainment, and the racial and ethnic diversity of our nation.

LIFE: Century ofChange is a fast-paced and enthralling look at how our daily lives were radically transformed between 1900 and 2000 - the houses we lived in, the food we ate, the technology we relied on and the ways we shopped, traveled, worked and played. This "Century ofChange" has left no eorner oflife untouched; communication has progressed from the BAPTlSTS for KENNEDY pen to the Pentium chip, transportation from the Model T to the Boeing 747 and medical knowledge from the early X-ray to genetic engineering. In more than 700 remarkable photographs, gathered from around the world, this ambitious book unfolds the century past in 10 ehapters, each exploring a separate theme: home, machines, lifespan and medical advances, design, family, shopping and the consumer economy, sex, celebrity, entertainment, and the racial and ethnic diversity of our nation. Chapters open with dynamic essays written by respected authorities within those fields. Interwoven are fascinating profiles of 20 of the sometimes little-known but crucial players behind the scenes, such as the developers of air-conditioning, Muzak, eBay and the controversial system that brought water to L. A. Special Turning Point photo essays illuminate issues as diverse as eensorship, childbirth and America's passión for cars. LIFE: Century ofChange was created by the same brilliant editorial team that produced the national best-seller LIFE: Our Century in Pictures under the leadership of distinguished magaziné editor Richárd B. Stolley. Drawn from the picture files of Life magaziné and other famous archives, this book offers an unparalleled treasury of photographs, classic and unknown. LIFE: Century ofChange is both richly nostalgic and a penetrating social history. Vissza
