By Jonathan Vankin
Again whilst irony was once only a literary equipment and folks wore bell-bottomsfor their very own sake, Western civilization reached its zenith and nadirsimultaneously. Jonathan Vankin's vast e-book of the '70s seems insurprising intensity on the developments and the extraordinary figures of that decade, usingillustrations from dozens of good comics artists like Shary Flenniken andTerry Laban. Richard Nixon, Jane Fonda, Burt Reynolds, and Jimmy Carter all getthe gigantic e-book therapy in a scrumptious mixture of behind-the-scenespeeks and simply digested historical past classes. Fads and phenomena like disco,running, and the increase of the women's circulation also are defined and, in somecases, up via smooth occasions. The writing is apparent and snappy, theillustration is continually well-done, and the subjects selected are a thorough,comprehensive mixture of light-weight (pet rocks) and critical (Vietnam). --RobLightner
