ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
This enchanting, unique collection of postcards recovers an old world swept away and forgotten over the decades. The lost royals captured here have not been misplaced or gone missing - what has been lost is the very foundation of their royalty. Collected here are royal figures from around the world who lost their titles and were displaced as a result of World War I and other early twentieth-century political movements.
The royal houses of Europe, Africa, and Asia once ruled a continent and held dominions beyond the seas. Today, just ten monarchs still reign in Europe, and those with only limited powers. Captured in these distinctive postcards held in the collection of the Bodleian Library are these lost emperors, kings and queens, czars and czarinas, princes and princess, and grand dukes and duchesses, who were left behind by the sweep of history. Featuring monarchs from the Balkans to the Iberian Peninsula, from Ethiopia to Korea, these portraits include members of the Russian imperial family, and roy ...

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Teasmades and TV dinners, queuing and commuting, strikes and street parties, lino and lawnmowers - the last century was a fertile time in the development of the British way of life. And from the Roaring Twenties to the comical eccentricity of the 1970s, the British way of life underwent a massive revolution. This book captures that sometimes awkward development in a selection of poignant photographs that will bring fond memories flooding back.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
The British may not have invented the holiday as such, but they were largely responsible for the way many other nations spend their leisure time today. Seaside resorts, package tours, holiday camps...
Britain gave these gems to the world, largely so we could later go and enjoy them in a warmer climate.
In a series of nostalgic snapshots, this book records the way we spent our time off last century, a formative period in history when our holiday dreams evolved from a weekend in Blackpool to a fortnight on the Costa Brava.

Ten tours, which are classified according to their geographic scope, provide an overview of almost 150 buildings and projects.

ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
All textiles begin with a twist. From colourful 30,000-year old threads found on the floor of a Georgian cave to what the linen wrappings of Tutankhamun's mummy actually meant; from the Silk Roads to the woollen sails that helped the Vikings reach America 700 years before Columbus; from the lace ruffs that infuriated the puritans to the Indian calicoes and chintzes that powered the Industrial Revolution, our continuing reinvention of cloth tells fascinating stories of human ingenuity.
When we talk of lives hanging by a thread, being interwoven, or part of the social fabric, we are part of a tradition that stretches back many thousands of years. Fabric has allowed us to achieve extraordinary things and survive in unlikely places, and this book shows you how -- and why.
With a cast that includes Chinese empresses, Richard the Lionheart and Bing Crosby, Kassia St Clair takes us on the run with escaped slaves, climbing the slopes of Everest and moonwalking with astronauts. Running l ...

Day-VII Architecture. A Catalogue of Polish Churches post 1945 (Dom Publishers)
скидки на товар нигде нет ;( это обычная* цена - 2273.00 руб.
|
ОПИСАНИЕ ТОВАРА:
Over 3,000 churches were built in Poland between 1945 and 1989, despite the socialist state’s hostility towards religion. We call this Day-VII Architecture.
Built by parishioners from scavenged or pinched materials, the churches were at once an expression of faith and a form of anti-government protest. Their fantastic designs broke with the state’s rigid urbanism. Neither legal nor prohibited, the construction of churches during this period engaged the most talented architects and craftspeople, who in turn enabled parish communities to build their own houses of worship. These community projects eventually became crucial sites for the democratization of Poland.
Unearthing the history of these churches through photography and interviews with their designers, this publication sheds new light on the architectural dimension of Poland’s transformation from state socialism to capitalism.
