The reach of the car today is almost universal, and its effect on landscapes, cityscapes, cultures – indeed, the very fabric of the modern world – is profound. This highly illustrated survey of the effect of the motor car on global culture is the first book to explore the culture of the motor car in the widest possible sense, featuring specially commissioned essays by writers, critics, historians, artists and film-makers, as well as reprinting key texts. Includes over 400 stunning photographs, 150 in full colour.
