The book spans the past 100 years in nine chapters. Each chapter is introduced with an essay by a notable children's writer, including Katherine Paterson, Jane Yolen, Avi, Robert Cormier, Lois Lowry, Fredrick and Patricia McKissack, Jerry Spinelli, Gary Paulsen, and Cynthia Rylant. In each chapter is a special section, called Turning Point, that traces an event or trend from the beginning of the century forward. And each epoch closes with a Requiem, which recalls some memorable individuals who died during that time.
The worlds of politics, science and technology, and the arts, as well as the lives we led at home -- all are explored and brilliantly captured within these pages.
