Kurzbeschreibung
A celebration of the 1960s, this encyclopedia profiles the 250 most interesting personalities who significantly changed popular culture, including musicians, actors, directors, artists, athletes, politicians, writers, and astronauts. Sidebars provide a trip down memory lane with lists including the top movies, television shows, cars, Bond girls, Playmates, concerts, and cameos in beach movies, plus a running calendar of "what happened on this date" that lines the margin of each page for a day-by-day review of the most influential decade of the 20th century.

This book is The encyCOOLpedia of the 60s!
9. März 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
Chris Strodder has written another fantastic book on the 1960s, but while his previous book "Swingin Chicks of the 60s" focused on 101 of the decade-defining women his current book focuses on the people, events, and just about everything that is memorable about this decade. The book has a "day in history" feature on every page that tells of births, marriages, movie openings and such for that specific date. Strodder writes about the big names of the 60s but always slips in the little-known, offbeat facts. He also writes about others that you might not have known or that might have slipped your mind and it's always clear why they are included. Strodder has side-bar information on astronauts, cars, movies, games, television shows, even Playboy Playmates. The book is fun and fact-filled. and if that isn't enough, the foreword is written by Michelle Phillips (of the Mamas and the Papas and Knot's Landing fame). This book is recommended to those that remember the 60s and those that want to.

A fun and entertaining book
22. März 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
I found this to be a fun and entertainig return to a decade that defined the Baby Boomers.
Just thumbing through the "Encyclopedia" quicky brings back names and faces that I haven't thought about in 30 years. Peter Max, Anita Ekberg, and Olivia Hussey are three.
Did you khow that Candy Johnson was considered to be the greatest go-go dancer of the '60s? Neither did I.
Do you remember the TV show "The Man from U.N.C.L.E."? Ok, but I bet you don't remember what U.N.C.L.E. stood for. And how about T.H.R.U.S.H.? It's all here and more.
This is a must-have for any self-respecting triva player.

A wealth of knowledge!
12. März 2007
Format:Taschenbuch
This encyclopedia is a colorfully thorough and well-researched collection of facts and interesting details over-flowing from the pages. Not only that but a healthy sprinkling of wit and a nice conglomeration of eye-catching vintage photos make this book an attractive read. The versatility of the writing style make it exciting to read through one article at a time or to flip through aimlessly discovering hidden gems of Sixties trivia. It's a great way to locate classic movies, famous athletes, or inspirational music. Don't try to play a Sixties version of Trivial Pursuit with Chris Strodder, but if you have this source of Sixties knowledge on hand, you'll surely be able to impress your friends.
