Intriguing profiles in each decade-long chapter are supplemented with information on current events, community issues, pricing of the times and news articles to give the reader a broader understanding of what was happening in that individual's world and how it shaped their life. To further explore the life and times of these individuals, each chapter includes several other helpful elements: Historical Snapshots: Chronicles major events and milestones, allowing the reader to develop a broader understanding of the time period; Timelines: Defines the background and key events of a particular issue important to the time period; News Features: Excerpted from the local media, these thought-provoking articles put the issues affecting the family or individual in context; Selected Prices: Examines what things cost during the time period, to further enrich the reader's understanding. Prices include food items, clothing, jewelry, tickets for leisure activities and so much more; Illustrations: Photographs, news clippings, advertisements, postcards, posters, quotes, songs and cartoons, add interest to each chapter and depth to the reader's understanding of the world that the individual or family lived in. - Publisher.
