Republic of Drivers by Cotten Seiler
Rising gas prices, sprawl and congestion, global warming, even obesity - driving is a factor in many contentious issues. This book looks at the period between 1895 and 1961 - from the founding of the first automobile factory in America to the creation of the Interstate Highway System - to find out how driving evolved into a symbol of freedom.
"This is history of the best sortRepublic of Drivers is brilliant, nuanced, and astonishing - the cross-disciplinary scope of this book is close to incredible. Despite the extraordinary reach of his research and thinking, Seiler wears his learning lightly and is sure to reach a wide audience." - James Livingston, Rutgers University"
