{"product_id":"from-barnum-bailey-to-ernest-albrecht-9780786495245","title":"From Barnum \u0026 Bailey to Feld: The Creative Evolution of the Greatest Show on Earth","description":"\u003cp\u003e Since its inception in 1872, the Greatest Show on Earth has continually transformed itself to meet changing tastes and cultural shifts. Over the course of its long existence, it has been at various times a biblical spectacle and historical pageant, a ceremonial introduction to the peoples and cultures of the world, and a fairy tale masque. It has also featured sights ranging from gladiatorial combat and aerial daredevils to oddities of nature and foolhardy wonders. This work chronicles the colorful artistry of the Greatest Show on Earth from its beginning to 2010, revealing how each of 12 changes in management brought about changes in style and content. More than 50 photographs bring the flamboyant performers and amazing spectacles to life in this informative appreciation of the circus and its evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ernest Albrecht\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0786495243\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780786495245\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/15\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 308\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.05lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 6.90w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 10\/15\/2014 pg. 94\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 01\/01\/2015 pg. 808","brand":"Ernest Albrecht","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48447777702143,"sku":"9780786495245","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_13f7d254-cae5-4013-bdb5-f503f8f937d3.jpg?v=1777234746","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/from-barnum-bailey-to-ernest-albrecht-9780786495245","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
