The Klira company was a German manufacturer of stringed instruments from 1887 to around 1982. In the 1960s, Klira was one of the leading German guitar manufacturers alongside its competitors. To a lesser extent, Klira also produced electric basses, mostly copies of the model 500/1, also known as the Beatles Bass. In the sixties, Klira was able to record its greatest sales successes due to the increased demand for electric basses and the expansion of the export business.

We often remember the 1960s as a time of peace and love, but it was also a time of assassinations, riots, and an unpopular war. Furthermore, more than three million people took to the streets in violent antiwar and civil rights demonstrations during this decade. In The Incredible ’60s, renowned historian Jules Archer brings the glories and tragedies of the sixties to a new generation, with a comprehensive history of sixties counterculture, the Vietnam War and the resistance movement, civil rights, feminism, science, rock ‘n’ roll, and more. Covering everything from the Kennedy Era and the Freedom Riders to nuclear weapons and the Cold War, Archer aims to make sure important history is not forgotten, and this is a story for young people-a story about seeing what needs to be changed in the world and making that change happen.

Scotland in the 60s The Definitive Account of the Scottish National Football Side During the 1960s


Free Download Ronnie McDevitt, "Scotland in the 60s: The Definitive Account of the Scottish National Football Side During the 1960s"
English | 2016 | ISBN: 1785311808 | EPUB | pages: 256 | 1.4 mb
The 1960s heralded a golden age of players who wore the dark blue of Scotland. Law, Gilzean, Baxter, Greig and Johnstone are just some of the names still familiar to supporters today. Bookended by heavy defeats against the Auld Enemy, the decade witnessed just one other defeat in the annual fixture against England and contained both the most-celebrated and horrific of Wembley encounters. The ’60s also included a brief spell with Jock Stein as manager and the only Scotland international to date to be decided in extra time. Valiant but ultimately failed World Cup campaigns included memorable matches against Italy, West Germany and Czechoslovakia; an embarrassing loss to the amateurs of Norway was offset by a six-goal spree in Spain a matter of days later. Set against the backdrop of the Swinging Sixties, Scotland in the 60s looks at each of the 64 matches played by the national side during the period and the consequences of those results. Extensive newspaper and video archive research is complemented by the memories of the players who took part and the reminiscences of supporters and journalists who were there.
