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? What was the route of the Hippy Trail? The 1960s was a momentous decade whose legacy is colourful and enduring. Here is a book that maps those years - through their culture, their politics, their technological and scientific advances, their conflicts and their natural disasters. What emerges is a fresh and revealing portrait of a decade which saw enormous social change, seemed to offer boundless potential, but also had its darker side.

The 1960s Maps for Curious Minds
The 1960s had it all: cultural transformation, social upheaval, political unrest, technological leaps, and more. But until now, it's never been brought to vivid life in such extraordinarily informative maps, brimming with I-never-would-have-thought-of-that insight and delectable illustrations that remind us why the 1960s was arguably the most consequential decade of the twentieth century. Some of the maps are serious (the terrible wave of assassinations), some are fascinating (Apollo 11's harrowing journey to the moon and back), some are fun (the rise of soul, British pop, and folk music), and all are eye-catching. Together they form a fresh and revealing portrait of a momentous, enduring decade that changed the world in ways that continue to reverberate today.
