      EVERYTHING in the 1980s was about excess; the personalities, the strikes and protests, the storms and the hair were all super-sized. It was the era of Thatcher, Reagan and Gorbachev, single-minded leaders with, whatever one’s views of them, visions o

      THE BATTLE FOR Kurrumbede

      Jul 21, 2019

      A fabulous book that compares yesterday's way of life with today's world. Readers will be able to identify the changes as well as what has stayed the same through the years. Great book for a Social Studies Unit. I am saving this book to add to my library collection!
