LIFE IN THE 1970S (PITKIN)

This book looks at the stories and people who made the headlines in the 1970s - from Thatcher and David Bowie to Barbie and Ken - but also how ordinary people really lived at the time; how we worked and played, how we shopped, what we ate, wore, drove, watched and listened to. Britain went decimal and was introduced to the VHS player and the microwave, Gary Glitter and Elton John entertained us and fashion gave us punks, hippies and glam rockers all at once. It will bring back memories for those who were there, and, for those who were not yet born, it will give them an idea of what the 70s were really like.
