The Face-to-Face Book and the 20th Century by DK

The Face-to-Face Book - Ed Keller and Brad Fay
Bored of being constantly told that we are moving into a faceless world of communication? Here is a fascinating look into that preconception. Keller and Fay reveal that less than 5% of all communication is through online social networks and that they have far less influence on day to day living. Are we being sold another gold rush? The Face-to-Face book gives the reader a rethink about the rhetoric of social media evangelists 3/5

20th Century – Richard Overy
Packed full of the most important events of the 20th Century. Overy goes to great depths to portray the moments that have shaped our world, from the incredible feats of engineering, to countless conflicts and much more. I have never been so engrossed in a book that arguably depicts man’s most incredible century. The photographs are beautifully captivating and give a sense of awe, wonder and pride as well as shame. Great gift for dads 5/5
