  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.

  The Shocking Truth about...

  Consumerism, as we know it today, is the result of centuries of societal, economic, and psychological evolution. Its roots can be traced back to the Industrial Revolution of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, a period that marked a profound transformation in the way goods were produced and consumed. Before this era, most economies were primarily agrarian, and consumption was limited to meeting basic needs. However, the advent of mechanized production brought about mass manufacturing, reducing costs and making goods more widely accessible. This shift laid the groundwork for the rise of consumer culture. 
  The Industrial Revolution not only increased the availability of products but also introduced the idea of consumer choice. As markets grew, competition among producers intensified, leading to innovations in marketing and branding. Businesses began to recognize the importance of distinguishing their products through unique features or emotional appeal, planting the seeds of modern advertising. By the late 19th century, print advertisements were appearing in newspapers and magazines, offering visions of a better, more glamorous life through the purchase of specific goods. 
  At its core, consumerism thrives on the tension between desire and need. Unlike basic survival needs, desires are shaped by cultural, social, and psychological factors. Early advertisers tapped into this distinction, framing products as solutions to problems or as pathways to happiness and status. This psychological shift was crucial in transforming consumption from a practical activity into an aspirational pursuit.
