  A smooth ride through the golden age of car travel, looking at both its cultural and architectural impact on the world.
  The culture of road travel and the road trip is arguably best reflected in the stationary spots found along the way. Christopher Beanland journeys through these built environments the world over, whose sole purpose is to cater to cars and those who drive them, and examines what makes them so alluring.
  Illustrated with 65 stunning photographs, Architecture For Cars explores everything from the brutalist fashions of listed UK petrol stations to the quirky and colourful drive-thrus found across the US. If you're interested in the autobahn churches of Germany, why Ed Ruscha felt drawn to painting gas stations, or you just enjoy the aesthetics of car-centric architecture across the globe, this book is for you.
  Also included are essays on wider topics such as roadside signs, drive-in malls and retail parks, cars on film, and roads that never were. This latest architectural deep-dive from Christopher Beanland focuses mainly on the 20th century, with an additional optimistic look towards the future: hopefully an electric vehicle-led existence will herald a new, greener 'golden age' for cars.

  Vogue magazine started, like so many great things do, in the spare room of someone's house. But unlike other such makeshift projects that flare up then fizzle away, Vogue burnt itself onto our cultural consciousness. 
   
   
   
  Today, 128 years later, Vogue spans twenty-two countries, has an international print readership upwards of twelve million, and nets over sixty-seven million monthly online users. Uncontested market leader for a century, it is one of the most recognizable brands in the world and a multi-million dollar money-making machine. It is not just a fashion magazine, it is the establishment. But what—and more importantly who—made Vogue such an enduring success? 
   
   
   
  Glossy will answer this question and more by tracing the previously untold history of the magazine, from its inception as a New York gossip rag, to the sleek, corporate behemoth we know now. This will be a biography of Vogue in every sense of the word, taking the listener through three centuries, two world wars, plunging failures, and blinding successes, as it charts the story of the magazine and those who ran it.

  The Grand Budapest Hotel is a whimsical comedy-drama directed by Wes Anderson, set in the fictional Republic of Zubrowka during the early 20th century.

  “The Grand Budapest Hotel became the highest-grossing independent movie of 2014 and also the highest-grossing limited-release movie of that year.”

  “Saoirse Ronan, who plays Agatha, explained in an interview that making the hotel's signature pastry, the Courtisane au Chocolat, wasn’t easy. Unlike most films, the food plays a major role and required actual baking.” 
    
  “L'Air de Panache (The Air of Plume) was a fragrance created by a Parisian boutique for Wes Anderson to gift his actors and actresses.”
