The 100 Things We Loved About The 20th Century

The 21st century is another country . . we'll do things differently there. But in our journey from the 20th century, we will need to take some souvenirs - a small amount of carry-on baggage to remind us of the way we were.

In this book, David Dale analyses those essential souvenirs - the ideas, products, people, fads and entertainments that changed Australia during the past 100 years. From the Pill to the poker machine; from "Number 96" to "Friends", from Germaine Greer to Paul Hogan, from Mars Bar to the Big Mac; from the Walkman to the Internet . . . these are the things that captured the imagination of Australians on their trip to a new millennium.
