LIFE: OUR CENTURY OF CHANGE is a richly illustrated and entertaining cultural history of 100 years of change, arranged not on a timeline but by theme. It explores all the key aspects of daily life and how they have been transformed - from the homes we live in, the jobs that employ us, the fashions we've worn and discarded, the ways we've brought up our children and how we've entertained ourselves. Famous writers and experts contribute brief essays to open the chapters, sharing their personal take on that particular theme. The hundreds of images included will capture the spirit of times past and present as only LIFE can do.
