• Sommario/riassunto: A celebration of the 1960's, this encyclopedia profiles the 250 most interesting personalities who significantly changed popular culture, including musicians, actors, directors, artists, athletes, politicians, writers, and astronauts. Sidebars provide a trip down memory lane with lists including the top movies, television shows, cars, Bond girls, Playmates, concerts, and cameos in beach movies, plus a running calendar of ""what happened on this date"" that lines the margin of each page for a day-by-day review of the most influential decade of the 20th century.
