Jonathan Glancey also covers the development of the car, from the early 'horseless carriages', through to the 'people's cars' such as the VW Beetle and Ford Galaxy, to the speed machines and dream cars of various eras. Combining Glancey's 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. With many rare and unusual images from around the world, this is a sensory treat for any car lover. |
