A LOT CAN HAPPEN IN 100 YEARS. The last century has seen the birth of jazz music, frozen food, antibiotics, paperback books and, of course, the internet. (In fact, regular readers will know that you can turn to our gadgets column on p120 to see just how quickly our technological innovation is progressing.) The past few decades have also brought a dramatic increase in life expectancy; flip to p38 to see how the latest efforts to combat heart disease could augment this even more.
But not everything changes. Our loved ones, for example—they’re vital to happiness, whichever century we reside in. This is brought into sharp focus in “Return to Flanders Fields” on p58. In revisiting the battles of the First World War, we discover how those sacrificed remain at the heart of families, even though they never met the generations that survive them. It’s a humbling read — but also a life-affirming one. Here’s to the next 100 years.
