Product Description
Amazon.co.uk Review
How much of the last century do you remember? As a dramatic chronicle of human life, the 20th century is difficult to beat. Two World Wars broke out, the communist political system in the Soviet Union suddenly collapsed, Nelson Mandela was set free, historic trips were made to the Moon, England actually won the World Cup and Charles and Diana were married before a global TV audience. Dorling Kindersley's 20th Century Day by Day brings the century alive again. You're invited to experience events as they happened. The conflicts and scandals that shocked society, the ideas that turned the world upside down and the people who made it happen. As you enter a 3-D virtual newsroom and click on photographs and typewriters you are led back into the decades of the 20th century. In the 1960s you can read about John Lennon, follow the events of the Vietnam War and hear Martin Luther King talking of his dream of a new kind of society. In the "Twentieth Century in Focus" section, you can re-live breakthroughs in space exploration. Watch videos of rockets taking off and see Neil Armstrong walking on the moon. Throughout the CD-ROM you can search for famous people and places; follow a story of events through from start to finish or simply browse the headlines and biographies.

This is a highly stimulating and exciting multi-media chronicle of the 20th century. More than 34,000 days of history are played back like breaking news stories. It will be difficult for dusty history textbooks to compete with this entertaining record of a rollercoaster century. Parents, grandparents and children will love it. --Justin Hunt
