Decades of the 20th Century. Photographs from the Getty collection. Fascinating photographs put images of the power of an event or the zaniness of new trends right before the viewers' eyes. The force of war and political conflict is just as important a theme as world-shaking innovations in science and technology. These are accompanied by portraits of great personalities in art, politics, and society.

This review is from: 1900s (Getty Images) (Paperback)
This whole series is just fascinating. The pictures are so much more than snapshots, they truly draw you in and you feel what the subjects are experiencing. It's a walk through history. Our whole family is experiencing them and it's sparking an interest in history from everyday life to monumental events. It really brings the present into sharp relief as well; you start to notice that we're making history all the time. And, while I don't mean to portray it in any way as depressing because it runs the full gamut, it truly demonstrates that there was never any such thing as "the good old days". We're always living it, and only distance gives us perspective.
For that reason I enjoyed the older versions more, but the newer ones allow you to insert yourself into them. It's a great series.
