Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - Behind the enduring popularity of beach huts lies a story of classic British eccentricity. Immensely photogenic and appealing, these colourful seaside buildings are direct successors of the Georgian bathing machine, which first appeared in the 1730s as a peculiar device to protect the modesty of rich and fashionable bathers. Kathryn Ferry paints a picture postcard view of the classic British seaside holiday through the history of beach huts and bathing machines, revealing how changing fashions in society shaped their design and development. A fascinating celebration of the evolution of the beach hut from its unusual beginnings to its status as a much-loved and sought-after structure by many a British holiday maker to this day. 64 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - In 1968, the Flying Burrito Brothers released The Gilded Palace of Sin on A&M Records,selling a disappointing 400,000 copies. Almost forty years later, front man Gram Parsons, is still spoken of with almost messianic reverence. Patron saint of alt-country, emblazoned with a shining cross, dead at 26. Overshadowed by Parsons, this album remains an anomaly in the country rock genre, a map in miniature of a moment in music, and warrants discussion as more than part of the Gram Parsons legacy. 144 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - To the girls who came to make it big in the town's 'What the Butler Saw' movie industry, Aberystwyth was the town of broken dreams.
