Author Description

Our Century is a dramatic, newspaper-style presentation of each decade. These volumes highlight historic events and outstanding individual achievements in the sporting world, international affairs, scientific discoveries, daily life, and the arts. The 1930s saw worldwide economic collapse, Hitler's attempts to restore Germany to its former glory, and civil war in Spain. But the accomplishments of social reformers like Jane Addams and explorers like Amelia Earhart still managed to capture the world's imagination.
