Cars

Accelerating the Modern World

New Paperback Illustrated

Postscript summary

The invention and increasingly wide availability of the motor car facilitated faster and more independent travel, but it also transformed our environment and the way we live. This well-illustrated social history reviews how the motor industry and car culture shaped society from the development of mass production and 20th-century industry to the designed environment in the form of the vehicles themselves and the pattern of our buildings and cities.
