Nobody built sports cars like British manufacturers in the 1950s & 1960s. There was something very special about the combination of low-slung open two-seater bodywork with a spartan interior, a slick sporting gearchange & a rorty exhaust note. This was wind-in-the-hair motoring, & it was affordable by the average young man
- at least, until he got married & had a family. The names of MG & Triumph stood proudly out from the rest, but there were many others as well. Austin-Healeys & Jaguars were grander & faster, but they still embodied that almost indefinable fun factor. Then there were the bit-part players, who did their best to secure a place in the affections of the sports car buying public. British sports cars were hugely popular overseas, especially in the USA. & tellingly, when Japanese manufacturer Mazda wanted to make a sports car in 1989, it sought inspiration from these very classics of the 1950s & 1960s. Today, the Mazda MX-5 is the world`s best-selling sports car.

This book was commissioned by The Theatres Trust, the body charged by Acts of Parliament with `the better protection of theatres`. After decades of destruction, theatres are now recognised as significant records of the societies that produced them & valuable cultural resources for the prsent day. This book outlines the history of theatres & music halls from the late sixteenth century to the present time, noting changing fashions in entertainment & evolving official attitudes to safety that have, at various times, influenced the architectural character of the buildings. Particular attention is given to the thirty-five years before the First World War, when music hall & variety entertainment developed rapidly, accompanied by a masive surge in theatre building. The account is enlivened with illustrations of theatres, their architects & their audiences. ...

Towns are complex & sophisticated creations. Mapping towns stretched cartographers` ingenuity to new heights of both artistic beauty & scientific exactitude as they strove to represent & communicate the physical patterns of streets, buildings & spaces; the `above ground` & the `below ground`; the built structures & the economy; the lives of those who live or work there; & the unseen realities of land ownership, administration, religion & politics. These maps served a variety of purposes, from guiding travellers, assisting with administration & government, raising taxes, planning the built environment, organising its defence
- & much, much more. Some of the maps in this book are well known, others have languished in obscurity, deep in archives, until revealed by the ten years` work of a British Academy research project on which this book is founded. Lavishly illustrated in colour, it tells the story of the mapping of urban Britain from the late middle ages until modern times. The text is accompanied by a comprehensive index of town maps which have been catalogued on an open-access electronic resource.
