ABOUT Once viewed as a plaything of the wealthy and eccentric, cars are now an integral part of modern life. "The Car" provides a snapshot history of the automobile, not just the makes and models but its role in many spheres of life: politics, family life, war, advertising, architecture, film and art to name but a few. Jonathan Glancey also covers the development of the car, from the early 'horseless carriages', through people's cars from the VW Beetle to the Ford Galaxy, and the speed machines and dream cars of various eras. Combining Glancey's illuminating text with stunning b&w and colour images.
