An Independent Eye: A Century in Photographs Book

The book captures in full the ever-changing nature of the 20th century: from movies to microfiche; from the discovery of penicillin to Dolly the Sheep; from suffrage and civil rights to consumerism for the masses; from space exploration to modernism and multimedia; and everything in between. Superb black and white photographs, drawn form the unique Hulton-Getty archive and the Independent newspaper, tell the story of the twentieth century in images-many previously unseen-that are sometimes startling, quirky, of offbeat, occasionally provaocative, always absorbing. Alongside the photographs the text tells the story behind the pictures, and highlights key events in each year. As an accessible and visually stunning album of the world in the twentieth century this book is unique; as a millenium souveneir it will be unsurpassed.Read More
