1976: The Year That Broke and Rebuilt the World

1976 tore things down and quietly built them back up. In a single year, an earthquake erased a sleeping city of a million people overnight, two young men founded Apple in a California garage, a mysterious illness stalked the streets of Philadelphia, and a small craft named Viking 1 sent home the first photograph ever taken from the surface of Mars. Professor Whiskerton examines the year that held catastrophe and wonder in the very same breath.
