  God Gave Rock and Roll to You -...

  Few things frightened conservative white Protestant parents of the 1950s and the 1960s more than thought of their children falling prey to the "menace to Christendom" known as rock and roll. The raucous sounds of Elvis Presley and Little Richard seemed tailor-made to destroy the faith of their young and, in the process, undermine the moral foundations of the United States. Parents and pastors launched a crusade against rock music, but they were fighting an uphill battle. 
   
   
   
  Salvation came in a most unlikely form. When a revival swept through counterculture hippie communities of the West Coast in the 1960s and 1970s a new alternative emerged. Known as the Jesus Movement—and its members, more colloquially, as "Jesus freaks"—the revival was short-lived. But by combining the rock and folk music of the counterculture with religious ideas and aims of conservative white evangelicals, Jesus freaks and evangelical media moguls gave birth to an entire genre known as Contemporary Christian Music (CCM). 
   
    
   
  In this book, Leah Payne traces the history and trajectory of CCM in America and, in the process, demonstrates how the industry, its artists, and its fans shaped—and continue to shape—conservative, (mostly) white, evangelical Protestantism.

  The Power of Acting

  ACTING is a vast and relatively unknown subject... for many. And yet millions are fascinated by it. Why? The answer is because this all-encompassing human art form is as fundamental to the self-actualisation of a human being as reading, writing and maths. We sense this. We know it. Surely the possession of such knowledge would be of great advantage in any profession, in any walk of life, and not just the preserve of stage and film? Why are we not taught these playful and transformative skills in school? This book uncovers why, and reveals top acting secrets, techniques and games that will dramatically change the way you see yourself and the world around you. 'This is a wonderfully helpful book regarding the importance of adults learning to play again, in order to free themselves from the oppressive everyday tramlines we follow... Josephine is a great inspiration to many people and this book will show you why.' Peter Richardson - founder of the COMIC STRIP troupe
  'Sculptress of the creative spirit, enkindling in even our most timid selves a passion for play, interconnectedness, listening, ritual and generosity on all of life's stages,Josephine is an indelible force of love and wisdom, at once ready for a fit of laughter or all hell to break loose. For her teachings and humanity, my immeasurable gratitude! Watch out for that fourth wall; you might fall through it reading this book.' Seumas F. Sargent, Performer, Blue Man Group, Berlin 'You're a rock, an inspiration, a star-I wish to the heavens I'd had teachers like you when I was at school! My God, I could have done anything.' Richard Down - a player 'My life changed beyond all recognition during the last four years coming to your classes with many, many challenges. The safe loving environment you created has been a great source of strength-even when I have been unable to attend! It has been a very important part of my liberation.' Louise Gough - a player

  Twentieth Century Seaside...

  A nostalgic exploration of Britain's distinctive and architecturally significant seafront buildings from the 1920s to the new millennium.
  British seaside resorts enjoyed phenomenal popularity for much of the twentieth century. Told chronologically, this book is the first look at how resort architecture around the UK coast kept pace with changing fashions and the increasing competition of foreign destinations.
  Using vintage postcard images, Kathryn Ferry showcases the inherent playfulness of seaside architecture as it evolved from interwar classicism, through art deco and international modernism, to Festival of Britain-inspired mid-century style, then later to seafront tower blocks and the artificial beaches of 1970s leisure centres. Featuring a wide range of building types, Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture explores everything from beach huts and bandstands to lidos, piers, theatres, hotels and amusement arcades.
  As climate change and the soaring cost of living provoke changing attitudes to travel, Britain's seaside has witnessed renewed popularity, making now the perfect time to champion our architectural legacy of domestic tourism. Offering a compelling reassessment, Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture will appeal to fans of architecture and design who love to be beside the sea.
