A pictorial record of the 20th century, covering the headline stories year by year. Military and political events are covered as well as the arts, sciences and sport.

From Charlie Chaplin to Billy Connolly, from "Monty Python" to "The Fast Show", Britain has always been at the forefront of comedy. Leading comedians and writers honour the best from Britain's long and diverse comedic history in a collection of essays.

Six British historians contribute to a comprehensive dictionary which not only is a reference work for events, people and places from 43 AD, but also acknowledges that history is as much about the writing of what happened as what actually did happen. It also includes information on historical concepts and controversy. The contributors are Dr David Bates (University of Wales, College of Cardiff), John Gillingham (London School of Economics), Dr Diarmaid McCulloch (University of Bristol and University College London), Joanna Innes (Somerville College, Oxford), Dr David Englander (Open University) and Dr John Stevenson (Worcester College, Oxford).

A year-by-year pictorial history of events since World War II. The photographs are accompanied by lively text which describes not only international military and political events, but also milestones in the arts, sciences, exploration, sport, and daily life.
