hardcover. Condición: Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor.

We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.…

Couverture rigide. Condición: Très bon. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Très bon. « For the Victorians, the advent of the railways symbolized a new age of progress, power, and civilization. Since then, industrialization has often proved a mixed blessing; yet we continue to acknowledge the importance--as well as the romantic mystique--of the rails and all that comes with them. This engaging book examines the role of the railway station around the world, revealing a microcosm more complex and fascinating than anything our nineteenth-century forebears could have dreamed of. The authors chart the changing styles in the construction and decoration of the station, from the somber grandeur of St. Pancras in London to the humbler delights of country stations in the American Midwest. As the book shows, the various facilities offered by the station have assumed as much importance as the building itself: the ticket office and the waiting room have become as familiar as the trains. The book also discusses how, in paintings and poetry, stations have been depicted as places of tearful departure or joyful reunion, and how, in films like Brief Encounter , they have assumed the status of a starring role. Stations also have had a part to play in politics and the economy, especially in wartime, and governments throughout the world have long recognized their strategic significance. This enthralling volume captures the allure of the station by encompassing the disciplines of history, literature, art, and architecture in a sweeping global survey, unique in both scope and perspective.» Blank stickers on flyleaf.…

For the Victorians, the arrival of railways marked a new era of progress and civilization. Industrialization has proven to be a mixed blessing, yet the significance and romantic allure of railways endure. This engaging exploration delves into the role of railway stations worldwide, revealing a complexity that surpasses the imaginations of the nineteenth century. The authors trace the evolution of station architecture and design, from the imposing St. Pancras in London to the charming simplicity of rural stations in the American Midwest. The facilities within stations, such as ticket offices and waiting rooms, have gained equal importance to the structures themselves. Additionally, the book examines how stations have been portrayed in art and literature as sites of emotional farewells and joyful reunions, with films like Brief Encounter highlighting their cinematic significance. Furthermore, the strategic role of stations in politics and the economy, particularly during wartime, is discussed, emphasizing their importance recognized by governments globally. This captivating volume weaves together history, literature, art, and architecture, offering a unique and comprehensive survey of the railway station's allure and impact.…
