The author answers these questions and more in this unique examination of the great parades and processions of history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Part chronology, part social history, this book outlines why parades are more than the simplistic, ephemeral entertainment we sometimes assume them to be, as people are often deeply affected by regalia, costumes and uniforms, dances and floats. The book traces the fascinating origins and development of carnival parades, religious processions, protest marches, victory parades, circus parades, parade floats, ship sail-pasts and aerial fly-pasts. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Doug Matthews\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476688796\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476688794\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 12\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 233\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Doug Matthews","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44065862484223,"sku":"9781476688794","price":39.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6a9acb01-0281-4853-adef-2bb1f6eacfc4.jpg?v=1685403934","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/why-we-love-parades-doug-matthews-9781476688794","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
