Bloomsbury
A Brief History of Motion: From the Wheel, to the Car, to What Comes Next - Hardcover
Popular historian Tom Standage is back, this time with a look at 5000 years of various forms of personal transportation. We don't often consider how the various forms of transportation affect the societies and cultures around them. Starting with the wheel, which took thousands of years to to gain popularity, Standage's well-researched book covers the various eras of horses, trains, bikes, and examines how these modes of transportation affected the world around them. From the geography of cities to our very notions of time and gender, this fascinating account is anything but pedestrian.(This book may contain a sharpie mark on the top or bottom edge and may show mild signs of shelfwear.)
