London Calling (Time Out Guides) [Idioma Inglés]: High Art and Low Life in the Capital Since 1968 - Tapa dura

Reseña del editor

Forty years ago, London was an ailing post-industrial city that had seen better days. Today, it's the cultural and financial capital of the world. How did that happen? And who made it happen? London Calling has the answers. It tells the story of the rebirth of the capital since 1968, covering every aspect of London life, from architecture to art, fashion to food, clubbing to the counter-culture, music to morals.

Lavishly illustrated with new and historic photographs, it includes essays by leading writers and critics; reminiscences from key artists, writers, musicians and politicians; timelines charting significant events; and original material from Time Out magazine's unique archives of words and pictures.

From Tony Elliott snuggling up with John and Yoko to Bowie at Hammersmith Odeon in '73; the Brixton riots to crashing stock markets; the rise of the Tate and Borough market and through two summers of love - if you want to know how we got to now, this is the book.

Biografía del autor

Founded in 1968, Time Out has grown from humble beginnings into the leading resource for anyone wanting to know what's happening in the world's greatest cities. Alongside our influential weeklies in London, New York, Chicago and Dubai, we publish more than 20 magazines in cities as varied as Beijing and Beirut; a range of travel books, with City Guides now joined by pocket-sized Shortlist series; and an information-packed website. The company remains proudly independent, still owned by Tony Elliott four decades after he launched Time Out London. Written by local experts, and illustrated with original photography, our books also retain their independence. No business has been featured because it has advertised, and all restaurants and bars are visited and reviewed anonymously.
