This international and interdisciplinary collection of original and thought-provoking essays explores the social history and cultural heritage of the amusement park. It examines the notion of modernity and the heyday of the amusement park in the UK, then compares the UK's experience with a range of international cases, before focusing on their decline, demise, cultural significance, heritage and protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 296\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 x 9.21 x 6.14 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e November 29, 2018\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53344740016435,"sku":"9780367022709","price":113.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/mNXNNK-Y8w9780367022709.webp?v=1778731901","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/the-amusement-park-history-culture-and-the-heritage-of-pleasure-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
