Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the three and a half years from its conception in late 1890, to its opening on Whit Monday 1894, the Blackpool Tower has, in its preparation and construction, a story of triumph over conflict, of financial successes and failures, of the stern arguments of Temperance in condemnation of alcohol in its protracted application for a drinks licence, a conflict of aesthetic values in the perceived ugliness of its ironwork, scepticism of its strength to withstand a south westerly gale, a criticism of its representation of capitalism in the emerging socialism, and the men who built it could fight, get drunk and injured, incidents which included the tragic recording of two fatal accidents.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Jade Marie lives on a farm with her mother and father. Tom, the farmhand, is the only other, almost permanent, person who is usually around. She is in her last year at school, and the future doesn't hold much hope for her. Relationships have become increasingly strained, and her father, especially, had begun to have little to do with her. She loves the outdoors where she can escape into the fields, with only the animals as her companions, and spends much time in her own company. Falling deeper into herself, she steadily increases her isolation from others.At school, she doesn't fare much better, as the difficulties of her home life are affecting her ability to foster good friendships. Her natural aloofness is the subject of much ridicule by the Tuesday Boys, the miscreants of the class, but she is considered with curiosity and compassion by a single admirer, whose attentions she feels unable to return.While walking back from the village with her mother, one, early Spring evening, she finds a doll that had been carelessly abandoned in a builders' skip. Retrieving it, she takes it home, and is convinced that it was instrumental in saving both her own and her mother's life by the river bank, as a brief, but vicious rainstorm took part of the precarious path away.The doll, which she calls Skipdoll, becomes her best friend and, from that day, events which take place in her life, and which are often threatening, could be explained by the presence of the doll, as all events or their solutions, could be traced back to it.In the moment of perhaps her deepest despair, the reasons for the strained relationships at home are revealed to her, leaving her with the potential to turn her life around to a happy one, if she has the skills to engage with others.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - In the middle of the 19th century an unsettled Europe was being drained of emigrants dreaming of a new and better life in the New World. The packet ship Ocean Monarch was carrying nearly 400 of these passengers and crew on its return voyage to Boston from Liverpool on August 24th 1848. While still in sight of the North Wales coast, the ship caught fire which swept through its timbers in record time, giving many no chance of escape. In a time capsule of the politics of the age, its rescue operation brought together all levels of society ranging from the poor who had to bring their own straw on board to sleep on to those at the top of the social scale as aristocrats.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Blackpool was the Royal Army Medical Corps base during WW1, with 10,000 RAMC personnel in the town. When war broke out on August 4th 1914 the holiday season in the popular holiday resort was in full swing.and then the soldiers began arriving. First the regional regiments to train on the wide beaches and stay in the plentiful accommodation available. Then the munition workers and then the medics and along with the growing numbers of injured soldiers came the Belgian refugees. In 1917 the fresh faced young US medics of the base hospitals, straight out of university, made Blackpool their home for their education in the state of modern warfare before moving out to repair the damage to mind and body on the slaughter fields. It was a place where the War was reflected in both the weaknesses and strengths within the diversity of the human spirit of the generation that was thrown into it.…

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - Taken largely from contemporary newspapers, this is the biography of Music Hall star Cissie (Cecilia) Loftus, whose career also spanned the serious stage, movies and radio, first successfully bursting onto the sage at the young age of 17. Much loved in her time but now mostly a forgotten name, she showed her versatility through published stories, music and lyrics and sketches. As well as a musician, dancer and stand-up comedian, she was mostly known, respected and loved for her skills in impersonation of any manner and any voice. She was never far from controversy which was ever a part of an independent and energetic life in the public glare, and her career runs parallel with the Music Hall itself from the heights of its 1890's success, to the reduction in its popularity by the production and development of film.The Music Hall itself is a history of attitudes and collective expression written, in effect, by the audiences and reflected by the performers on the stage, each giving the other what they wanted. Within the attitudes of the day in the western world, Cissie's life, along with her fellow performers took in the confusion and unfairness of race and sexuality, the effects of a colonial heritage in the self-consciousness of national identity, a suffragette sympathy with its celebrated march through London, a compassion shown to poverty and distress during a devastating world war and her own struggle with identity and illness. After a celebrated drugs bust in 1922 from which she emerged triumphantly from her addiction, she settled into a less hectic career and a quieter role which included the celluloid of Hollywood as it evolved from the stage, Music Hall and vaudeville.…
