Published by Nasou Beperk, this Afrikaans-language textbook was developed for the 1985 South African educational syllabus, offering a historical perspective on global and local events through a mid-1980s lens. Co-authored by Lambrechts, Bester, Fourie, and Swanepoel, the work features a distinctive "clock" cover design illustrating major 20th-century milestones such as the Apollo 11 moon landing and world leaders like Winston Churchill and Indira Gandhi. The book is in good vintage condition, showing some light bumping and chipping to the corners and spine of the softcover, along with minor foxing and toning to the internal pages, which remain clean and free from major inscriptions.
