Locally known as 'Kaali-Peeli', there were once more than 60,000 of these iconic black and yellow cabs struggling through the chaos of Mumbai's streets. Over a four year period Dougie Wallace documented these elaborate Bollywood disco bars on wheels. The crowded streets of Mumbai and the assortment of passengers provide a dynamic and intense backdrop, as do the cabs themselves.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49541212307729,"sku":"GOR008821960","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1907893857.jpg?v=1751123954"},{"product_id":"well-heeled-book-dougie-wallace-9781911306184","title":"Well Heeled","description":"Dougie Wallace has turned his camera on man's best friend and the strange world of 'pet parents'. Dogs, and his pursuit of them, have taken him to London, Milan, New York and Tokyo. Their owners, often described as 'extreme pet humanisers' can spend as much on accessorising and grooming their 'offspring' as they would on themselves. Dougie Wallace has used his observation and wit to portray this phenomenon in his new series Well Heeled. Wallace's dogs have human expressions and are strong characters, who, with their knowing looks, can even appear to play to camera.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49606902546705,"sku":"GOR009272145","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50050623013137,"sku":"GOR010982172","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1911306189.jpg?v=1750932317"},{"product_id":"east-ended-book-dougie-wallace-9781911306603","title":"East Ended","description":"\u003cstrong\u003eThis is an open access title available under the terms of a C BY-NC-ND 4.0 International licence.

Both characterizations can be correct, depending on the context. \u003cem\u003eWhen Democracy Breaks\u003c\/em\u003e aims to deepen our understanding of what separates democratic resilience from democratic fragility by focusing on the latter. The volume's collaborators--experts in the history and politics of the societies covered in their chapters--explore eleven episodes of democratic breakdown, from ancient Athens to Weimar Germany to present-day Russia, Turkey, and Venezuela. Strikingly, in every case, various forms of democratic erosion long preceded the final democratic breakdown. Although no single causal factor emerges as decisive, linking together all of the episodes, some important commonalities--including extreme political polarization, explicitly anti-democratic political actors, and significant political violence--stand out across the cases. Moreover, the notion of democratic culture, while admittedly difficult to define and even more difficult to measure, may play a role in all of them. Throughout the volume, the contributors show again and again that the written rules of democracy are insufficient to protect against tyranny. While each case of democratic decay is unique, the patterns that emerge shed much light on the continuing struggle to sustain modern democracies and to assess and respond to the threats they face.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":49735136149777,"sku":"NGR9781911306603","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":51437731578129,"sku":"GOR014279642","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/191130660X.jpg?v=1750867364"},{"product_id":"stags-hens-bunnies-book-dougie-wallace-9781905928118","title":"Stags, Hens \u0026 Bunnies","description":"Blackpool has an unenviable reputation for its stag and hen parties. Every weekend marauding packs of brides and grooms, close friends and family, overflow its streets on a mission to consume dangerous, liver-crushing levels of alcohol. This, their rite of passage acted out on the last night of freedom, before the conventions and responsibilities of marital life, mortgage, children. Dougie Wallace presents an unflinching depiction of these nights in this unforgettable series of images.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50493418373393,"sku":"GOR007256505","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50899539755281,"sku":"GOR009775768","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1905928114.jpg?v=1751218341"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/de-ch\/collections\/autor-buecher-von-dougie-wallace.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
