This book features interviews with four people from different walks of life - rich, poor, urban and country dwellers - who grew up during the 1970s. Their memories and reflections combined with historical information (and evocative photos) give a real sense of what life was like as a child during the era of platform shoes and glamrock; what their homelife was like, what food they ate and where they went on holidays. Readers will learn about important events of the 1970s, such as the Arab-Israeli fuel crisis of 1973, and the first Concorde flight in 1976. It is complete with glossary and index.
