After such a destructive and costly war, few would have anticipated the important, positive global changes that came after World War II. However, this title takes a tour of all the ingenious innovations that came in the wake of that war. A brief recap of the conflict provides context before the text explores the advances made in weaponry, medicine, and international cooperation. Attention is given to many of the challenging debates that arose postwar, including conflict between newly independent nations and the rise of the Cold War, fueling critical thinking about the impact-positive and negative-of adversity.

      Gr 4-8-Each title begins with a focused crash course, allowing readers to dive in without much prior knowledge of the featured epoch. The remainder of each volume describes innovations that occurred in the days and decades following. Though the series' title suggests otherwise, not all of the changes were favorable. Without minimizing relevant horrors, the authors point out how tragedy inspired revolutions in arts and the media and led to positive change (in most cases) via new technologies and the reworking of government policies. Each volume is packed with illustrations. VERDICT Solid purchases.
