PEACE(I***N=9781426202940) 英文原版 pdf 夸克云 tct umd 下载 2025 azw3 kindle

　　As the boomer generation moves onward through the milestones

of life, 1960s nostalgia holds tremendous meaning today. And

nothing more eloquently symbolizes the counterculture era than the

peace sign. How did this *** sketch become so powerful an image?

Peace: The Biography of a Symbol tells the surprising story of the

sign in words and pictures, from its origins in the nuclear

disarmament efforts of the late 1950s to its adoption by the

antiwar movement of the 1960s, through its stint as a mass-marketed

commodity and its enduring relevance now.

As the symbol’s popularity blossomed, so did an entire

generation, and author Ken Kolsbun’s expertly selected images—from

his own collecti*** as well as a variety of historical

archives—illustrate both the sign itself and the larger history

that it helped to shape. Along the way, the book recounts the

controversy inspired by the peace symbol, bringing to light several

trials that challenged its very existence. Drawing on exclusive

archival interviews with Gerald Holtom, the late creator of the

symbol, Peace recounts its birth and goes on to build a historic

portrait using both iconic and rarely seen p***ographs.

With guaranteed appeal for audiences who flocked to Hippie

several years ago, Peace will also capture fans of symbology, art,

and history—and will pose an interesting counterpoint to the 2008

election. The compact trim size and low price point will help to

position Peace as both affordable gift and easy impulse

purchase.
