Description
Imagine a life without zip fasteners, vacuum cleaners, electric washing machines, traffic lights, jet planes, television, CD players, computers and antibiotics. It is hard to believe that less than 100 years ago, many of the things we now take for granted had not been invented. Electric light, telephones and cars were all relatively new and air travel didn't exist. Using colour photographs, this guide shows the clothes, household gadgets, buildings and people that have made their appearance since 1900. The book is organised into four thematic bands; arts and entertainment, science and technology, health and welfare, and world events, with special-feature chapter openers that give a historical background to the major events that have shaped the history of this century. - from Amzon
