Here is a book that maps those years—through their culture, their politics, their technological and scientific advances, their conflicts and their natural disasters. Some of the maps are serious, some are fun, all are eye catching, and together they form a fresh and revealing portrait of a decade that saw enormous social change.This is a decade that seemed to offer boundless potential, but gradually showed its unrest, with the rise of worldwide protest movements, shocking assassinations of political figures such as Martin Luther King and JFK, and conflicts erupting across the world whose ramifications continue to reverberate today.
