Backtrack: Australia's Twentieth Century by Glenn Miller

Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges.

This book presents a brief, yet evocative, survey of the world's major and lesser known events of the last 100 years. The news stories, fads, fashions, talk and big names of each year are covered, as well as popular books, songs, films, television programs and births and deaths of Australian and international celebrities.

Special interest boxes compare the way our standard of living has changed over the years, and comprehensive appendices include lists of Melbourne Cup winners, Australian Prime Ministers and Rugby League Champions of the century. (publisher blurb)
