Item description from seller
Quarto, hardcover, near fine with part of dj laid in. 543 pgs. Profusely illustrated. Focuses on the prevalence of newness, the changing scale and scope of change itself, so that the years of man's life measure not some small growth or rearrangement or moderation of what he learned in childhood, but a great upheaval. 6 parts: Passing of the Old Guard-1900-1918; Roaring Twenties 1919-1929; Hard Times-1929-1939; The War years 1939-1945; Nuclear Age 1945-56; Space Age 1957-1976.

Store description
I have a large inventory of children's books, cookbooks, collectibles, classics, first editions, signed books, history, biographies, science, textbooks, and more.
Each book to me is a "precious jewel" and I try and describe it, giving you a good understanding of its content, and also its condition. One example, I have a John Muir book where he has written in the margins all through it to correct mistakes made by the publisher. (this was confirmed by John Muir historic site for me) I have over 50,000 books and some are quite rare from 1800's to 2020's. I've been collecting books for over 50 years and now am a spry 80 and going strong. I try and get books out same day as order comes in and love it when someone writes that they's been looking for a book for years and finally found it with me!
