The Life of the Automobile: A New History of the Motor Car

In this book Steven Parissien examines the impact, development and significance of the automobile over its turbulent and colourful 130-year history.

But when disaster strikes, we ought to be better prepared than the Romans were when Vesuvius erupted or medieval Italians when the Black Death struck. We have science on our side, after all. Yet the responses of a number of devloped countries to a new pathogen from China were badly bungled. Why?
