Modern Locomotives by Brian Solomon
Over recent decades, almost every area of historical study has seen its global turn - from consumption to finance, from politics to migration, from social order to cultural patterns. This volume reflects the vibrant state of global history scholarship in Europe and examines to what extent global history is practiced and conceptualised distinctively within Europe.Drawing together contributions from scholars from France, Germany, Hungary, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and the UK, the book offers a sweeping overview of the state of the field. In particular, the contributors look at histories of colonialism and imperial expansion, knowledge circulation and mobility across borders.
This book reflects the diversity of current scholarship on global and transnational history and will offer important insights for anyone interested in understanding the cutting edge of research in this area.
Brian Solomon is regarded as one of the most accomplished railway historians of his generation. He has written over thirty books about railroads and locomotives, and his writing and photographs have appeared in some of the world's most prestigious rail journals, including Trains, Railway Age, Passenger Train Journal, and RailNews. He spends half of his time in Massachusetts and the other half in Ireland.
