Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The 1950s home presented an exciting new way of living for the generation that moved out of the suburbs. Young couples who had previously rented accommodation in urban centres found themselves able to afford new build homes with hot running water, an indoor bathroom and aerials for the wireless already installed. Some four million houses were erected, mostly in cosy semi-detached styles that harked back to traditional cottage architecture. The design elite rejected this 'Stockbroker Tudor' look and opted instead for brave, flat-roofed modernist villas. This book introduces the homes that people fell in love with in the 1950s, and the fixtures and fittings that went in them. Packed with illustrations and informative chapters on architectural styles, gardens, furnishings and technology in the home, this book is an ideal introductory guide to the houses of the period. 56 pp. Deutsch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The Morris Minor, designed by Alec Issigonis and introduced in 1948, isone of Britain's most famous and long-lived models of car. Over sixty years on it still attracts interest from new admirers, enthusiastic owners and the public at large, who still have a nostalgic affection for a vehicle that was an important part of British life in the 1950s and 1960s. Whether used by the district nurse, local vicar, grocer, travelling salesman, postman or the next-door neighbour, the Morris Minor provided versatility and reliability for them all. Sold in North America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and India, in 1960 the millionth car left the factory gates in Oxford; who could have guessed then that production still had over ten years to run. Through informative text, photographs and contemporary advertising, the author reflects on the success of the Minor range and its design, promotion and use. 48 pp. Englisch.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - 'Everything human beings do finishes up bad in the end. Everything good human beings ever make is built on something monstrous. Nothing lasts. We certainly won't.'Based on his experience as a teacher, Stephens describes his play as 'The History Boys on crack'. It explores the underlying tensions and potential violence in a group of affluent, articulate seventeen year old students. Contemporary and unnerving, with elements of The Catcher in the Rye, Punk Rock follows the story of seven sixth-formers as they face up to the pressures of teenage life, while preparing for their mock A-level exams and trying to get into Oxbridge. They are a group of educated, intelligent and aspirational young people but step-by-step, the dislocation, disjunction and latent violence simmering under the surface of prosperity is revealed. 112 pp. Deutsch.

His writing is brisk, confident and colourful . a pleasure to read' Sunday TelegraphThe true story of a one-handed pianist and the fall of his aristocratic familyThe Wittgenstein family was one of the richest, most talented and most eccentric in European history. The domineering paternal influence of Karl Wittgenstein left his eight children fraught by inner antagonisms and nervous tension. Three of his sons committed suicide; Paul, the fourth, became a world-famous concert pianist (using only his left hand), while Ludwig, the youngest, is now regarded as one of the greatest philosophers of the twentieth century. In this dramatic historical and psychological epic, Alexander Waugh traces the triumphs and vicissitudes of a family held together by a fanatical love of music yet torn apart by money, madness, conflicts of loyalty and the cataclysmic upheaval of two world wars.
