Atlas van de jaren 60
De jaren zestig waren iconisch. Dit boek brengt dat vernieuwende decennium in kaart aan de hand van getekende figuren, kaarten en infographics. We zien waar bekende bands werden opgericht, welke mode opkwam en hoe de anticonceptiepil zijn intrede deed. Op zowel serieuze als grappige wijze tonen de kleurrijke kaarten wat er speelde op het gebied van cultuur, politiek, technologie en wetenschap. Naast de donkere kanten van het tijdperk (de schokkende moorden op Martin Luther King en JFK bijvoorbeeld) laat het boek vooral zien hoe vernieuwend, invloedrijk en kleurrijk dit decennium was. Gordon Kerr werkte bij een uitgeverij en in een boekhandel voordat hij fulltime schrijver werd. Hij is de auteur van verschillende korte geschiedenisboeken en heeft een fascinatie voor de jaren zestig. Claire Rollet is een Frans illustrator.

The 1960s in Maps
Which countries were under a dictatorship? Where did the Beatles perform live outside the UK? Where were atomic bombs tested? Which nations boycotted the 1966 World Cup?

Here is a book that maps those years - through their culture, their politics, their technological and scientific advances, their conflicts and their natural disasters.
