Braces. Doc Martens. Harrington jacket. Trojan records. Ska music.
Tattoos. Pints. Pubs. Football. Respect. Working class pride. The
true skins have never gone away. Skinhead is the only British style
tribe that still genuinely scares people. From the dancehalls to
the football terraces, from the local pub to the tower blocks
working class teens in the late 1960's found their own form of
rebellion. It didn't come from Soho. You couldn't buy it on Carnaby
Street. They looked the long-haired revolution in the eye and
realised that it held nothing for them. Skins: a way of life is a
beautiful hardcover collection of photographs of skinhead culture
from the late 1960's throughout the 1980's. Many of these images
have never been published before. Presented with a series of

essence of the skinhead cult, without glossing over the darker side
of the story. Live the spirit of '69.

?Tonight! On the couch with yours truly for the first ever world
exclusive in depth interview with you. In this stunningly intimate
and revealing feature you finally answer the questions that your
public have been gasping like a shower of mackerel to ask.
For the first time ever, an incredible visual archive of Ultras
worldwide is curated in this book. Beneath the surface of modern
life, the ancient urge for fanatacism and tribal warfare lives on.
Their exploits are legendary, their tales are tall, hated and
feared by millions, yet idolised by a hardcore minority. In a world
in which we are told place no longer means anything - loyalty to a
team, loyalty to an area, loyalty to a social class, are all out of
time. And yet here they are, continuing to exist in this highly
structured and obsessive world. From its roots in the UK the
worldwide scene is explored from Turkey to Russia, Asia, Ukraine,
Poland, Italy, France and all of Europe. Whether you are disgusted
or fascinated - this is human behaviour. For some, this has always
been and will always be, a way of life.

The fixed gear bicycle is the simplest of human powered machines,
and legions of riders have discovered the joy of the "fixie." To
those in the know, 42 x 12 is a gear ratio, and a demanding one at
that, but this isn't a book about equipment, rather an attempt to
get under the skin of riders risking life and limb in pursuit of
their passion. 42 x12 - The Cult of the Fixed examines the global
repercussions of fixed-gear and single-speed bicycle culture.
Through contemporary observation and the collaboration of those on
the inside from Taiwan to New York, London to Tokyo, 42 x12 gives a
unique insight into what's going on at ground level. Features
within 42 x 12 include: The Tweed Run, as distinguished gents bring
style and sophistication to the streets of London; messenger and
alley cat racing, requiring the need for more than just speed in an
urban environment; indoor and keirin racing, eyeballs out at 150
Revolutions per minute.
Britain is changing. Don't panic! Let's talk. Who were we? Who are
we? Who do we want to be? Look back. Leap forward. Explore this
treasure trove of images from the Mirror archives that expansively
covers the last 100 years. Made in Britain is an epic collection of
photographs chronicling Britain at work - that both reminds us of
our collective power and giving us hope for the future. These
images are pieces of a lost world. Ships emerge at the end of the
street. The faces of tough, proud people look at us through the
lens of a camera. They had their own hopes and fears. What would
they say to us? This was Britain at work. We used to make stuff on
an epic scale. Life was not a rose garden, but together we achieved
incredible things. We built the modern world. We were always a big
family, welcoming workers from around the globe. Let's start a
conversation. Let's look back to leap forward. Epic goals are
exciting. Epic goals bring people together. We used to make stuff.
Could we make stuff again? Should we?
