Product Information
The reach of the car today is almost universal, and its effect on landscapes, cityscapes, cultures - indeed, on the very fabric of the modern world - is profound. Cars have brought benefits to individuals in terms of mobility and expanded horizons, but the cost has been very high in terms of damage to the environment and the consumption of precious resources. Despite the growing belief that a Faustian price is now being paid for the freedom cars have bestowed on us, we are none the less manufacturing them in ever greater numbers. Autopia is the first book to explore the culture of the motor car in the widest possible sense. Featuring newly commissioned essays by writers, critics, historians, artists and film-makers, as well as reprinting key texts, it examines the effect of the car throughout the world, including the USA, Western and Eastern Europe, Japan, China, Cuba, India and South Africa. In this book the car is treated neither as a technological fetish object nor as an instrument of danger. Instead, it is examined as a hugely important determinant of 20th-century culture, neither wholly good nor an unmitigated disaster, and certainly endlessly fascinating. Contributors include Michael Bracewell, Ziauddin Sardar, Al Rees, Martin Pawley, Donald Richie and Peter Hamilton. Key texts by Marshall Berman, Jane Jacobs, Roland Barthes, Marc Aug and others.

Reviews
This is the first book to capture the cultural effects of the car on a global scale and is recommended, To download some sample pages from Autopia please clickhere(1Mb). 'This collection . . . takes a broad view of how we live with cars and their influence on society . . . Several of the pieces would not be out of place in a travel book, and give the collection a real richness and relevance, while the excellent photographs - many in colour - bring the work to life, Critically sophisticated without ever being merely modish, this book provides an overview that's genuinely illuminating and invariably fun to read

Had multiple listed at time of purchase and then 2 weeks later just refunded with no messages sent. This was after ebay had asked for feedback for item. I Had tried to purchase multiple items from one seller to make sure I was more likely to get them. Other item was great in every way. So if they have it, great seller
