The Eighties (Series : Decades) Af Edward Grey

Hardback The period from 1980 to 1989 seemed to bring one disaster after another - famine, war, space tragedy, nuclear accident, the Aids virus... Yet, at the same time, the world became safer as the superpowers grew closer together. The decade marked the beginning of the era of truly global communications, and in 1985 more than 1,500 million people in 160 countries watched the Live Aid charity concert on television. THE EIGHTIES looks at this decade in a new way. The emphasis is on the style of the period and the dramatic social changes that took place, especially in those areas directly concerning young people - music, clothes, the media, leisure, youth culture and style. These are seen against the background of the decade's maijor historical, political and technological events.
