A Look at Life in the Eighties by Adrian D Gilbert

This text takes a look at popular culture in the 1980s including such phenomena as the first space shuttle, the end of the cold war, personal computers, Madonna and the Terminator. It includes chapters on the news, music, fashion, art and architecture, science and technology, sport, and leisure and entertainment.
For most of the 1980s Adrian Gilbert worked as a book and partwork editor. Since then he has written many books on historical themes, including two volumes for Wayland on the French and Russian revolutions. He reckons the best thing about the 1980s was the development of the personal computer - which has made life for a bad speller a great deal easier!
