The Car - A History of the Automobile

The Car: A History of the Automobile 

De Jonathan Glancey

Edition Carlton - 2006

2°édition

Once viewed as a plaything of the wealthy and eccentric, cars are now an integral part of modern life. 

The Car provides a snapshot history of the automobile, not just the makes and models but its role in many spheres of life: politics, family life, war, advertising, architecture, film and art to name but a few. 

Jonathan Glancey also covers the development of the car, from the early horseless carriages, through peoples cars from the VW Beetle to the Ford Galaxy, and the speed machines and dream cars of various eras. 

Combining Glanceys illuminating text with stunning photographs, The Car is much more than another encyclopedia; it reveals why we love, loathe and depend on one of the greatest modern inventions, and how the car really has shaped the way we live now.
