1960s: Space and Time (20th Century Science & Technology)

20th Century Science and Technology is a decade-by-decade account of scientists and their breakthroughs, inventors and their inventions, that have shaped the modern world. A fact-filled text and both full-color and duotone photographs come together to create an exciting presentation of scientific and technological progress in conjunction with other history-making world events of the time.While the world's superpowers competed fiercely for "firsts" in space, as well as military might, space-age research and inventions surged into everyday life. Satellites beamed phone calls and television programs around the world, and lasers performed cutting-edge medical procedures.Steve Parker is the author of '1960s: Space and Time (20th Century Science & Technology)' with ISBN 9780836829457 and ISBN 083682945X.
