Paperback. Condizione: New. VINTAGE ALPINE POSTCARDS celebrates our relationship with Europe's great mountain range. These dispatches from the Alps take us from men in bowler hats with stout ropes nonchalantly crawling over crevasses, through the gilded age of grand hotels and sleigh rides, to the modernist concrete infrastructu…re of mountaintop restaurants and cable-car stations - framing the changing the way we've experienced landscape and leisure over more than a hundred years. Underlying the Alpenkitsch is a serious examination of our relationship to nature and how we have used and abused the beauties of the natural world. Postcards travel through time as well as space, they arrive with messages from our former selves. But, like sun-burnished memories of holidays past, they do not necessarily correspond to reality. Postcard makers have always combined reality with artifice to conjure fantastic spaces, worlds in which the sky is always blue, the pine trees resplendent and there is always plenty of fresh powder. These skaters, skiers, sledgers and St Bernards will surprise and delight mountain aficionados, transporting them to a high altitude holiday wherever they are.

These dispatches from the Alps take us from men in bowler hats with stout ropes nonchalantly crawling over crevasses, through the gilded age of grand hotels and sleigh rides,…to the modernist concrete infrastructure of mountaintop restaurants and cable-car stations. They frame the changing way we've experienced landscape and leisure over more than a hundred years - from the intrepid to the banal, sublime to ridculous and brutalist to kitsch.

Postcard makers have always used artifice to conjure fantastic spaces, worlds in which the sky is always blue, the pine trees resplendent and there is always plenty of fresh powder. Featuring great views, architecture, infrastructure Alpinism, hiking and snow sports, VINTAGE ALPINE POSTCARDS is perfect for skiers, hikers, cyclists and mountain lovers.

Paperback. Condizione: New. The Rough-Stuff Fellowship Archive volume 2. A second volume of photos and stories from the archive of the oldest off-road cycling club in the world. The original members of the RSF, founded in 1955, were the godfathers and godmothers of off-road cycling as we know it today - mountain bikes, gravel an…d bikepacking all follow in their tyre tracks. Since we published the first book, more that 25,000 new and unseen slides have come into the archive, dating from the 1920s to the 21st century. Volume 2 will have more photographers, more photos, more stories- and more bikes where bikes don't normally go.

Paperback. Condizione: New. In the 1980s, Hackney was one of the most deprived parts of the UK, its citizens ignored by Margaret Thatcher's new vision of Britain. But at Dalston's Rio - London's oldest community cinema - the Tape/Slide Newsreel Group was giving unemployed local youth a voice. Set up in 1982, it taught photograph…y and sound-recording skills, and championed an alternative, left-wing perspective on Hackney life. In 2016, thousands of slides were found in a filing cabinet in the Rio's basement, a legacy of this ground-breaking project. The book presents the best of the slides that were shown in newsreels before the main feature at the Rio, alongside recollections of the Tape/Slide Newsreel Group participants. This important oral history places the photos in the cultural and political context of Hackney in the 1980s, meaning that, unlike some photobooks about East London, it is connected to the communities it portrays and remains true to the original radicalism behind the Tape/Slide Newsreel Group. There are introductory essays by Andrew Woodyatt (of The Rio), about the cinema's activities in the 1980s, and by Alan Denney (the photographer and local historian who digitised all the slides) putting the archive into the context of the contemporary movements in radical community photography, plus forewords from Michael Rosen and Zawe Ashton. The archive is presented chronologically and themes include: activism, parades and protest marches; art, culture, music and festivals; social problems and community action; street life and style; urban landscapes and dereliction; work and everyday life; young and old.

Hardback. Condizione: New. Jobst Brandt (1935-2015) was a California cyclist and engineer whose passion and intellect changed the way we ride bikes today. Years before the evolution of mountain bikes and gravel bikes, his legendary 'Jobst rides' took riders and their bikes to places they hadn't gone before. Jobst spent almost fi…fty summers in the Alps, lightweight touring and adventuring over 2,000 miles each time, always carrying a camera to document his trip. He was also the brilliant mind behind many innovations such as the bike computer and smooth tires, and he even influenced the birth of the mountain bike.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Jo Burt's comic strips detailing the adventures of Mint, a mountain-biking sheep, have amused and delighted readers for over three decades. Join Mint as he rides through an enchanting, bucolic world in which Death stalks the whaleback hills of the South Downs and Summer is a beautiful, capricious godd…ess. Cheerfully wistful, wilfully surreal and obsessively detailed, Mint Sauce covers the broad gamut of existence, with ungulates on bikes the backdrop to love, loss, death, the weather, joy, sadness and some more weather. Jo Burt has been drawing the Mint Sauce cartoon since 1987 and this is the first time it has ever been collected in a book. Featuring a new six-page story, a selection of classic strips from 1987-2023, calendar images, plus commentary and an introduction by Jo. 'Cartoons are an odd thing. On the one hand, they are brief, ephemeral, enjoyed for a short minute and thrown away. On the other, they can resonate and be stuck on the fridge, remembered, loved, kept close, and somehow become a tiny touchstone in your life.' 'Mint has always been about gently immersing yourself within the landscape and experiencing all of what that may bring. Mud, brambles, rain, the odd glimpse of sunshine, roots, nettles, and very immovable trees. And a necessary stillness. While others might see mountain biking as a way of owning something or smashing it Mint has always seen a ride as a way to disappear, dissolve into the hill and become an intimate and quiet part of the scenery.' - Jo Burt.

Paperback. Condizione: New. The first book to celebrate the history, vintage style and visual heritage of the UK's outdoor clothing brands. When a British expedition reached the summit of Everest in 1953, it put British mountaineering at the top of the world. In the decades that followed, there was an explosion in the popular lo…ve of the outdoors, and outdoor clothing boomed. What hikers and mountaineers wore evolved from woolly jumpers, army surplus and cotton or tweed into highly technical specialist gear. Mostly responsible for this was a small group of climbers, who couldn't buy the products they needed and so decided to make them, sowing the seeds for the global brands - Berghaus, Craghoppers, Karrimor, Mountain Equipment, Rab, Sprayway and others - we know today. Still worn in the toughest environments imaginable, British outdoor clothing is also now ubiquitous - equally seen on hikers, everyday dog-walkers and vintage gear lovers in east London, Manchester's Northern Quarter or Tokyo. Mountain Style: British Outdoor Clothing 1953-2000 is the first illustrated book to tell this story, from the days of postwar austerity, through the colour explosion of the 1980s, to the 1990s, when outdoor clothing became embedded in football and rave subcultures and crossed into the mainstream. It celebrates the outsiders, the problem solvers and the mavericks: the manufacturing pioneers and the mountaineers who from humble beginnings went further, faster and higher -setting the template for what we all wear in the outdoors, and inadvertently creating style classics along the way. Alongside interviews with those at the birth of the brands, Mountain Style features vintage brochures, adverts and photos, plus new studio photography. From down jackets that summited Everest in 1953 to the first Gore-Tex and multicoloured fleeces, via logos, materials and more, it is an indispensable companion for outdoor and style lovers in the UK and beyond.
