The seventies was a time when movies and music changed in ways that had never before seemed possible. Special effects and rock and roll excess only added to the explosive nature of one of history's most important decades. Among the chaos came monumental breakthroughs in technology, freedom, and science. We were given Space Invaders, the Walkman, and even the first cellular phone. But just underneath all this wonder, the Yorkshire Ripper was striking fear into the public's hearts. His horrendous crimes darkened the second half of the decade and left a mark on history forever. But the seventies was all about determination and change, and the world came together as one in the face of adversity. They may have been afraid, but they never let that get in the way of creating one of the most important and magical decades of all time. In this book, we will take a stroll through the period of time that gave us punk, disco, Star Wars, Jaws, and the VHS tape. Delivered in a casual, conversational style, we will bring you these events in a more informal way than your regular old history book.So, sit back and relive the seventies. You will smile, you will laugh, and you may even cry. But one thing is for certain; it will be far out, radical, and funky all at the same time...
