	The Norton Anthology of English Literature: The 20th Century: Review: Summary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		The roots of modern literature are in the late nineteenth century.

		century will, however, enjoy a dubious claim to fame as one that brought tremendous upheavals and disasters to the Balkans, leaving the peninsula hardly any better than at its beginning, or actually worse for wear.
		After centuries of dual control and domination by the Habsburgs and the Ottomans, the Balkans people began their liberation struggles in the 1800s.
		Their hopes and dreams, running high at the beginning of the century, have become casualties of wars, compromises and outside interventions. Balkans peace now seems farther away than it was in 1912.

	Climate Change 2001: The Scientific Basis
		Nevertheless the rate and duration of warming of the 20th century has been much greater than in any of the previous nine centuries.
		This value is about 0.15°C larger than that estimated by the SAR for the period up to 1994, owing to the relatively high temperatures of the additional years (1995 to 2000) and improved methods of processing the data.
		The record shows a great deal of variability; for example, most of the warming occurred during the 20th century, during two periods, 1910 to 1945 and 1976 to 2000.

	The 20th Century in Review - NWS Topeka, KS
		With the close of the 20th Century, let's take a look at some of the significant weather events that have occurred in Topeka over the last 100 years.
		These weather events are listed chronologically and not in their order of importance, amount of damage, deaths, etc. Data from the early half of the century are rather sparse, while a data "explosion" in the last 25 years allows for more specific information with recent events.
		This was the most destructive tornado in the city's history, and the 5th most devastating tornado in the 20th Century in Kansas.

		A "comprehensive, one-volume reference on the 20th century," this compilation is well balanced in its treatment of people and events around the world.
		Facts About The 20th Century is a single-volume reference that combines elements of a chronology, encyclopedia, and almanac.
		Ranging from the trivial to the essential, and from local to global information, this is a "user friendly" and accessible record of all countries' history in the 20th century and the worldwide events destined to shape the future.

	All-Reviews.com Music Review: 20th Century Boy: The Ultimate Collection by Marc Bolan & T Rex
		The recent car commercial playing the "20th Century Boy" track hasn't hurt renewed interest in Bolan's catalog.
		My favs are "20th Century Boy," "Jeepster," "Children of the Revolution," "Elemental Child," "Ride a White Swan,"and the incredible "Slider." Collections like this continue to give me further evidence that the 70's provided a cache of great music similar to that of the 60's.
		If you have been a fan of this music you will be in rock 'n' roll rapture, if this is the first time you have been exposed you will become a fan straight away.

	TheMovieBoy Review: Goodbye 20th Century! (1998) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Beginning in the aftermath of a war in the year 2019 that has left the Balkans a desolate, sparse landscape, a man named Kuzman (Lazar Ristovski) is abruptly shot into a grave by his fellow comrades after being suspected as the cause of the mass deaths of their children.
		One of the most offensive things about "Goodbye 20th Century!" is its treatment of incest, which flows throughout the picture.
		In short, "Goodbye 20th Century!" is an ambitious film on many different levels, and I can appreciate that, but it rarely succeeds on any of them.

		20th Century Fox, however, came a little late to the table and it wasn't until 1996 that they released their own contribution to the field—20th Century Fox: The First 50 Years—partly in conjunction with American Movie Classics.
		James Coburn narrates the history of 20th Century Fox, focusing on the first fifty years of its existence, 1915-1965.
		20th Century Fox: The First 50 Years is an entertaining and fascinating look at one of Hollywood's major studios.

	[Ganoksin] Book Review - 20th Century Jewelry, The Complete Sourcebook
		It is interesting to note that necklaces remain constant, peaking in the 1950s, while hair ornaments, for example — an essential accessory for the lady of the 1900s — dwindled into obscurity by the 1930s and were revived again in the 1950s.
		Similarly, novelty jewelry was relatively rare in the early years of the century, but became more dominant among the cocktail jewelry of the 1940s.
		And in the latter decades of the century, such a wide variety of earrings was worn that Peacock had to allocate extra space to them.

	dOc DVD Review: The 20th Century: A Moving Visual History (2000) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		What is most important is how many of the events of the early century past have such an integral effect on our life in the new century, from women's, civil and worker's rights to the war in Bosnia; from the state of Russian and Irish-British affairs to the creation of the Food and Drug Administration.
		Image Transfer Review: The very old turn of the century clips are mostly grainy, pockmarked and filthy, while others are in remarkably good shape.
		Audio Transfer Review: One doesn't expect much from a documentary covering back to the technological innovations of the early 20th century, so when I found some nice LFE effects at the beginning of episode two, and during the coverage of WWI, I was frankly surprised.

		Instead, I had to sit through "Goodbye 20th Century," a Macedonian film with obvious western influences.
		Set in three distinct time periods, "Goodbye 20th Century" is a solid effort that proves the filmmakers have done their homework.
		"Goodbye 20th Century" begins as serious science-fiction, but before it is done, the film becomes an all-out assault on tradition and the senses.

		For the last 20 years, Sonic Youth has skated the thin ice between improvised noise and indie-rock darlinghood to become one of the most prolific and polarizing camps in music today.
		It's fitting that at the end of the millennium they'd end up at "Goodbye 20th Century," a tribute album of sorts: Two discs clocking in at more than 100 minutes, all readings of 20th-century composers, the highbrow likes of Christian Wolff, Takehisa Kosugi and Cornelius Cardew.
		And strange sounds abound, including an arrangement of swinging microphones and the resulting feedback, and playing the piano by nailing down the keys.

	Mora's Modern Swingtet - 20th Century Closet
		Mora's dedication to classy interpretations of transcriptions and published stock arrangements has won his band a loyal following among the ranks of vintage purists, and Mora's Modern Swingtet—presenting the same power in a scaled format—is certainly no exception to that rule.
		This reviewer's personal picks include a balboa-tastic version of "Stompology" and the tongue-in-cheek risqué metaphors of "I Didn't like It the First Time"—the latter providing a glorious, fun showcase for Kayre Morrison's vocals.
		The liner notes include appropriate dated references to original arrangements, stock notes or tedious transcriptions—a wonderful tool for fans attempting to mine the roots of each track.

	Strange Horizons Reviews: 20th Century Ghosts by Joe Hill, reviewed by Graham Sleight
		Or take Robert Aickman, in whose work being alive in the twentieth century is the greatest horror, and whose stories consist—we might say—of ever-increasing dread at the failure to see that.
		It's a piece which could appear slight in some hands, depicting a few decades in the life of a cinema haunted by the ghost of a beautiful woman.
		Either way, like the twentieth century, they are behind us; closing the book is like the dull thud of earth thrown into a grave.
