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.Ver livro
APOCALYPSE NOW THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA COLLECTION FROM THE MOVIE DIRECTED BY FRANCIS FORD COPPOLA CREATED BY FILM TRIVIA METAVERSE ABOUT THE FILM Apocalypse Now (1979) is a war film directed by Francis Ford Coppola, set during the Vietnam War. The story follows Captain Benjamin Willard, who is sent on a covert mission to assassinate Colonel Kurtz, a U.S. Army officer who has gone rogue and established a violent, godlike rule over a remote Cambodian outpost. As Willard journeys upriver with his crew, he encounters the brutal realities of war, exploring themes of madness, morality, and the human cost of violence. The film blends surrealism and psychological horror, offering a haunting critique of war and its dehumanizing effects. TRIVIA SAMPLES: “Principal photography concluded on May 21, 1977, after 238 days of filming.” “Al Pacino was also offered the role of Captain Willard but declined, fearing a lengthy stay in the jungle and recalling how he fell ill during The Godfather Part II in the Dominican Republic.” “Apocalypse Now won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, sharing the honor with The Tin Drum by Volker Schlöndorff, despite some boos from the audience.” “The film's title, Apocalypse Now, was inspired by a button badge from the 1960s that read 'Nirvana Now,' which John Milius modified for the film.” “During Captain Willard's conversation with Colonel Kurtz, Willard's Ohio roots are mentioned. Interestingly, actor Martin Sheen is from Dayton, Ohio, just like his character.”Ver livro

The empire, which developed from the old societies of Funan and Chenla, governed and/or "vassalized" the majority of mainland Southeast Asia and parts of Southern China, covering from the suggestion of the Indochinese Peninsula northward to modern-day Yunnan province in China, and from Vietnam westward to Myanmar.
