365 MODERN HISTORY: FROM WORLD WAR TWO TO THE WORLD WIDE WEB:GREAT STORIES IN MODERN HISTORY FOR EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR
Book ID/图书代码： 12844009B33483
English Summary/英文概要： The third book, now in paperback, in Icon’s increasingly admired 365 series, revelling in the highs and lows of the world since the last year of the Second World War.
The world since the end of the Second World War often seems to represent the lighter half of the 20th century. Rapid recovery from the ravages of war; the rise of popular culture; the phenomenal growth in affluence, health and quality of life; the communications revolution in the West at least, the story is a good one.
But the years between 1944 and 2009 those covered in this book are far from being free of strife. They are, sadly, no strangers to famine, disease, violent political and social upheaval, terrorism, discrimination and environmental catastrophe.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这是365系列的第三本书了，这次是以平装本的形式推出，披露了第二次世界大战末年的世界起伏。
我们的世界自第二次世界大战末以来一直被看作是不足为20世纪的一半。这书耐读，包括了从战争蹂躏中迅速复苏、流行文化的崛起、经济增长现象、健康和生活质量以及交流变革。
但是本书所涉及的1944到2009年间是一个没有战争的年限！可悲的是，没有陌生人忍饥挨饿，饱受疾病、政治暴力和社会动乱、恐怖主义、种族歧视和环境灾难。
