After the First Hundred Years chronicles the sweeping transformations of modern life, tracing the dramatic evolution of transportation, technology, and everyday culture that reshaped the world across the twentieth century. Written with clarity and purpose, Palmer and MacLeod present a vivid, accessible account of progress and change, illustrated with charming line drawings by Mary MacQueen that bring the era's defining inventions — from early motorcars to helicopters — to life on the page.\n\nThe work sits at a fascinating intersection of social history and popular education, capturing the spirit of an age defined by acceleration and innovation. Palmer and MacLeod write with an assured, informative tone that instructs as much as it entertains, making complex historical shifts comprehensible to a broad readership. Published by the prestigious Longman imprint, this volume stands as a testament to mid-century optimism — and leaves the reader wondering just how much further the next hundred years will take us.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160936915163,"sku":"2026200013834-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/c3b73b59-0031-4158-948e-e563529be6ed.png?v=1787188450","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200013834-secondhand-after-the-first-hundred-years","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
