Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This series is each devoted to a decade of British life and contains around 300 photographs which were hand-picked by PA Photos' own archivists. Most have lain unseen since they were first used as news pictures and each image has been scanned especially, many from glass plates, to ensure the bes…t possible quality of reproduction. These photos tell a fascinating story: alongside the major events that constitute formal history are found the smaller things that had significance for ordinary people at the time. These cameras have recorded for posterity everything in their view and each picture tells an eloquent tale, of occurrences big and small, which have shaped the people and the face of Britain today.PA Photos is the photography arm of the PA Group, which also owns the The Press Association, the UK's national news agency. Established in the late 19th Century, the PA has been capturing editorial photography for 140 years, resulting in an extraordinary archive of over 15 million images recording British life over more than a century. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Only 20 years after the First World War, the "war to end all wars", the Second World War broke out in Europe in 1939 and spread rapidly around the globe, involving most of the world's nations and all of the great powers, who formed two opposing military power blocs: the Allies and the Axis.… The former were led by the United Kingdom, the United States and the Soviet Union; the primary members of the latter were Germany, Italy and Japan. The war raged until 1945, when the first use of nuclear weapons in warfare (the atomic bomb by the Americans) finally brought an end to the conflict with the last remaining Axis power, the Japanese, in the Far East. The most widespread war in history, the Second World War involved more than 100 million people who served in military units. Moreover, the major participants adopted a state of 'total war' whereby the nation's entire economic, industrial and scientific capabilities were dedicated to the war effort, removing the distinction between military and civilian resources. The widespread use of strategic bombing by both sides saw civilians targeted in their homes and at their workplaces, particularly in Britain, Germany and Japan, leading to substantial death tolls. Moreover, mass exterminations of civilian populations by Germany and Japan produced a total number of fatalities that some estimates suggest reached 50 million, while others say that the number could be more than 70 million. It was the deadliest conflict in human history. Legacies of the war include the establishment of the United Nations and the European Union to encourage international co-operation and prevent future conflicts, and the rise of the United States and Soviet Union as rival superpowers, leading to the Cold War, which lasted for nearly half a century. This book looks at the Second World War from a largely British perspective, based on approximately 350 photographs from the archives of Mirrorpix. AUTHOR: Mirrorpix represents the archives of the Mirror Group Newspapers. This incorporates the archives of the Daily Mirror, Sunday mirror, People, Daily Record, and Daily Herald. Mirrorpix offers unmatched access to a brilliant and unique collection of archive and contemporary images and illustrations, spanning more than a century of British and world history.

Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. This book is all about a sense of place, about our fascination with the fact that, wherever we are in the world, we're living, breathing, feeling and thinking where thousands of other people have done so before us. That fascination is heightened when the location in question has been the scene o…f great events - sometimes joyous, sometimes calamitous - a place where history was made. Colin Philpott, Director of the National Media Museum, takes us on a personal journey around Great Britain to visit destinations, such as sports stadiums, that were built to stage great events, or places made famous by a single event such as a disaster, or an event of social, political or cultural significance. It also examines what has happened to those places touched by history, how changing uses reflect changes in society, particularly in economic circumstances and in leisure time. Above all, it is a journey to inspire further exploration and discovery and an enduring sense of place. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. This fascinating book traces the development and style of women's and men's clothing from the end of the 19th century to the present day in an intriguing selection of fashion photography from the vast archives of the Mirror Group's Mirrorpix; a collection of more than 300 images that spans…more than a century of British history. Catwalk, studio and fashion-shoot photographs reflect the real-life social changes and attitudes that have influenced our fashion, from the bustles and heavy tightly-laced corsets of the Victorian era, through the softer, more fluid lines and brighter colours of the Edwardian period, to the conservative ration-driven outfits of the war years to the broad-shouldered business chic of the 1980s; and the more colourful, softer, more feminine clothes of the present day. Men's clothing, too, has undergone many changes during this period, from the simple, conservative 'suit for all occasions' to a far wider, more casual and more colourful look. Here, too, are the designers, the models and celebrities who influenced what we wore over the course of more than a century. AUTHOR: Mirrorpix represents the archives of the Mirror Group Newspapers.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. When one thinks about the First World War, one doesn't immediately imagine the soldiers recording the horrors of trench warfare by taking snaps with their pocket cameras. But that is exactly what happened. The Vest Pocket Kodak and The First World War is the first in a series of books docum…enting the relationship between conflicts and the iconic cameras that were used to freeze-frame forever those moments in time. Launched in April 1912, the Vest Pocket Kodak was one of the world's first compact cameras. About the height and width of today's iPhone, it was small enough to fit into the pocket of a waistcoat (the American 'vest') and became something of a craze on the eve of the war. It was advertised as the 'Soldier's Kodak' and troops were encouraged to 'Make your own picture record of the War.' With the military banning journalists from reporting early setbacks in the war, newspaper editors offered soldiers a prize for their VPK photographs of 1,000 over ten times a lieutenant's salary. The images they preserved offer us a remarkably personal viewpoint, and create a fascinating link between the camera and the conflict. The first half of the book sets the technology and timeline of the camera against those of the war. It looks at how the Vest Pocket Kodak was developed and advertised, and tells the story of its significance in creating a unique visual account of the Great War. The second half presents a commemorative album of images taken with the camera, a remarkable record of a lost generation, and a tragic reflection of the manufacturer's advertising by-line: 'Kodak pictures never let you forget.' AUTHOR: Jon Cooksey is a leading military historian, editor of Stand To! magazine and author of over 20 titles. His work has appeared in military magazines and he's appeared on the BBC as a military historian. As an experienced battlefield guide, he leads tours for both world wars as well as the Falkland Islands. His books include Pebble Island: The Falklands War 1982 and Calais: A Fight to the Finish. 50 photographs Launched in 1912, the Vest Pocket Kodak was one of the worlds first compact cameras, about the size of todays iPhone. This book documents the relationship between WWI and the iconic camera that was used to record it. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
