On New Year's Day 1964, the first edition of «Top of the Pops» was broadcast on the BBC. The timing was perfect, British rock and roll had just entered its greatest period — the Beatles were occupying the top five positions in the American singles charts, and their international success was followed by the Rolling Stones and the Dave Clark Five, who were both featured on that first programme. Over the next decade virtually every major rock and pop act from Britain and America appeared on the series, and were captured by the camera of the resident photographer, Harry Goodwin. He recorded the changing imagery of the era at a time of enormous social change, as music progressed from beat to protest, from Motown and Psychedelia to heavy metal and glam rock. «My Generation: The Glory Years of British Rock» tells the story of the people who provided the soundtrack to those momentous times, and includes outstanding images of the biggest names in rock history — from the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Bob Dylan to Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd and David Bowie.

Surrealism was one of the most influential movements of the twentieth century and had a profound impact on all forms of culture. It was a philosophy and a way of life for some of the most brilliant artists of the century. This is the first book to examine in depth its impact in the wider fields of design and the decorative arts and its sometimes uneasy relationship with the commercial world. From the sensuality of Dali's Mae West Lips Sofa to Schiaparelli's extraordinary 'Tear' dress, Surrealism produced some of the most emotive objects ever created. In this ground-breaking book, works in all media from artists and designers such as Jean Cocteau, Pablo Picasso, Man Ray, Alexander Calder, Max Ernst and Joan Miro will be used to explore some of Surrealism's dominant themes. Containing over 350 stunning illustrations, including previously unpublished works in private collections and specially commissioned photographs, the range of objects spans painting, sculpture, works on paper, bookbindings, jewellery, ceramics, glass, textiles, furniture, fashion, film and photography.
