![]() ![]() ![]() Kurlansky is a writer of remarkable talents and interests.”Ĭarefully researched and remarkably readable. Whether you agree or disagree with its points, you’ll find it makes for fascinating reading.” ![]() “In this highly opinionated and highly readable history, Kurlansky makes a case for why 1968 has lasting relevance in the United States and around the world. Encompassing the diverse realms of youth and music, politics and war, economics and the media, 1968 shows how twelve volatile months transformed who we were as a people-and led us to where we are today. In this monumental book, Mark Kurlansky brings to teeming life the cultural and political history of that pivotal year, when television’s influence on global events first became apparent, and spontaneous uprisings occurred simultaneously around the world. ![]() Yet it was also the year of the Martin Luther King, Jr., and Bobby Kennedy assassinations the riots at the Democratic National Convention in Chicago Prague Spring the antiwar movement and the Tet Offensive Black Power the generation gap avant-garde theater the upsurge of the women’s movement and the beginning of the end for the Soviet Union. To some, 1968 was the year of sex, drugs, and rock and roll.

This is a book that I would definitely use in my classroom as it makes it very easy for kids to understand what a verb is. At the end of the book you will find an activity to help the reader further understand verbs.
