Society Twentieth Century

A showcase of Britain's most architecturally significant shops throughout the twentieth century and beyond.
100 20th-Century Shops is a fascinating insight into the heritage of Britain's changing high street and the diverse architectural styles of the 20th century. Entries in this book showcase 100 often instantly recognisable shops from across the country, from throughout the 20th century and stretching into the 21st, capturing the changing architectural styles of our beloved and rapidly disappearing retail environment.

From Tudor-revival department stores and futuristic supermarkets to Art Deco shop fronts and post-war Festival style markets, the 100 shops featured here evoke a variety of design styles and traces the history and evolution of our cherished high street. 
The book also contains essays by respected writers Elain Harwood, Lynn Pearson, Matthew Whitfield, Kathryn A. Morrison and Bronwen Edwards on the design, development and decline of the high street over the last 100 years within a social and political context. This compelling book provides a glimpse into the wonderful shops that Britain has to offer and is a must-have for all fans of design history, architecture and retail.

The Songwriting Magic Formula -...

Paul Wright

The Songwriting Magic Formula 
The shortcut to melody creation 
The songwriting tips and tricks no one ever told you about. 
Instantly compose HIT vocal melodies with the backing chords at the same time. 
This audio book dispels the myths of songwriting and destroys the negatives that hold songwriters back 
and ends songwriters block in melody. 
Short extract from book 
Let’s get rid of a few myths. There’s no set way to create a melody. 
This is True and at the same time Not true. But only in the minds of those people that know everything ? 
Pupil says to mentor, “I know you’re going to teach me how to write better songs, but how do I come up with the actual melody?” 
The mentor turns to the pupil and says. “Well, that’s the million dollar question. I wish I could just say, ‘sit there with your guitar do this, and out will pop a melody’. But unfortunately, there’s no such thing as a magic formula”. 
This isn’t true. Let’s blow the other myth out of the water. The one where they say composing cannot be taught. Well, I’ve just learned you how to create 2 HIT vocal melodies in examples 1 and 2 another vocal melody in less than 15 seconds in example three and 2 more in the challenge. Usually it only takes a few seconds to hear the new melody being born. Now you can teach your friends and family how to compose a melody in less than 10 minutes. Even if they’ve never composed a melody before.  
And not just any melodies but catchy hit melodies.
