ReviewsIf you could create a newspaper headlining the major events of the last decade, it would read very much like this last installment in the "Decades of the 20th Century" series. Following a set format, the author addresses Lifestyle, Fashions and, Fads (dot.com growth, cell phones, terrorist bombers), Arts and Entertainment (alternative music, computer generated animation), Sports ( Tiger Woods, the summer of the home run kings), Politics (Desert Storm, Waco, the fall of the Berlin Wall, Clinton scandals), and Science and Technology (Y2K hysteria, Human Genome project, cloning). Entries, which because of their brevity can only record the highlights, are concise and informative. While it provides a nostalgic overview, readers will have to rely on more detailed accounts to fully understand the events chronicled. Included are black-and-white photos, timeline, bibliography, web sites and index., Children's Literature
