Book Description

Secondhand. Very good condition. Minor wear to book corners and edges. Faint marks on half-title page. Body text and binding are still very good.

Graeme Davison, Australia's leading urban historian, explores the Melbourne he knows so well to show us how the car entered our consciousness as an object of desire, a symbol of status, a creator of freedoms, and a shaper of sexual mores.

It is a fascinating journey through landscapes changed and cities redesigned by the car, of mayhem on the road and influence in the world of politics, of communities challenged and the environment threatened, and of an ongoing love affair with a machine.

Car Wars is a history of people, politics, landscapes, conflict, engineering, social movements and the environment. It is a story that is erudite, illuminating and elegantly told. (back cover)
