Kitsch In Sync by Peter Ward
Ever since the arbiters of taste first took their mothers' flying ducks off the walls of their suburban semis and displayed them proudly alongside their Bauhaus furniture, or chuckled knowingly at the musical toilet rolls in each other's bathroom, kitsch has become part of the style-setter's anti-style. Peter Ward explores the global culture of kitsch and charts a course through the shallowest waters of trivial bad taste that encompasses all aspects of life - from fashion to furnishings, art to artefacts, through movies, TV, pop and personalities.
Peter Ward is professor of geological sciences at the University of Washington, Seattle. He is the co-author of Rare Earth and the author of Rivers in Time, The End of Evolution, which was a finalist for the Los Angeles Times Book Award, and On Methuselah's Trail which won the Paleontological Society's Golden Trilobite Award for best popular science book of 1992.
