| Publisher Description: Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. The 1940s were a decade of great change worldwide, not just in the U.S. but on a global scale. The effects of World War II were felt in the latter half of the decade and the entertainments and arts industries had to fight to stay afloat. This book looks at influential developments in literature, film and music in the 1940s and innovators like Akira Kurosawa, Ernest Hemingway and George Orwell. Project Webster represents a new publishing paradigm, allowing disparate content sources to be curated into cohesive, relevant, and informative books. To date, this content has been curated from Wikipedia articles and images under Creative Commons licensing, although as Project Webster continues to increase in scope and dimension, more licensed and public domain content is being added. We believe books such as this represent a new and exciting lexicon in the sharing of human knowledge. |
