20世纪简史：从无线电到柏林墙
(australia) Geoffrey Bryne
"Everyone's Little Book" by an Australian national treasure historian is a century-old journey around the world that is both familiar and unfamiliar. A major theme running through this book is war and peace: two large-scale wars and a fragile peace. But beyond the war, this book traces extraordinary discoveries in medicine, the impact of cars, airplanes, and radio, the advancement of women, the Green Movement, the emancipation of Third World countries, the craze for sports, the changing future of Christendom and Islam, and little-noticed vignettes, vivid scenes of everyday life. The world in the 20th century has become smaller and smaller. In addition to world wars, economic crises, and ideological confrontations, changes in human lifestyles have constituted a colorful historical picture.
