THE ATLAS OF THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
(Atlante del Novecento Directed by Luciano Gallino, Massimo
L. Salvadori and Gianni Vattimo)
This is an indispensable guide for all those who wish to enter
the maze of the Twentieth Century without getting lost.
The Atlas, in 65 essays of rare depth, competence and originality,
undertakes an extraordinary journey. It explores the causes and
evolution of the great transformations in history, demography, the
environment, the economy, the sciences, technology, society, communications,
computers, philosophy, religion and art that have changed the world,
and made the century that has just drawn to a close so very different
from any other era.
