Hell on Wheels: The Promise and Peril of America's Car Culture, 1900-1940
ISBN: 9780700615155 / Angielski / Twarda / 2007 / 276 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. The emergence of the automobile on the American scene represented many things--excitement, freedom, progress-but also danger, death, and injury.
In this unique examination of America's changing cultural perceptions of the car, David Blanke tells how the automobile pulled society in two contradictory emotional directions: exhilaration in personal mobility versus anxiety over public safely.

A Destiny of Choice?: New Directions in American Consumer History
ISBN: 9780739172193 / Angielski / Twarda / 2013 / 194 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych.

This was the...
