Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most recognised and revered car brands, Bentley celebrates its centenary in 2019. In conjunction with the Bentley Drivers Club and the W.O. Bentley Memorial Foundation, 100 Years of Bentley is a lavish celebration of the company, from its earliest models right up the modern day cars. A six-times winner in the gruelling Le Mans 24-hour race, Bentley is also the brand behind iconic cars such as the 41/2-Litre ‘Blower’, the R-type Continental, and modern classics such as the Continental GT and Mulsanne. Featuring more than 200 pictures, many from the club’s archives and some never seen in print before, this beautiful book details the whole history of Bentley. From W.O. Bentley’s early days as a railway engineer along with his first attempts at modifying French DFP cars, to the company’s early racing exploits, including its victories in the early Le Mans races. Covering the Bentley brand’s revival in the 1980s and renewed impetus when it was acquired by the Volkswagen group, the story is brought up to date with the awesome new Bentleys built for the 21st century and the new era of electrification just around the corner.

Download or read book Autonorama written by Peter Norton and published by Island Press. This book was released on 2021-10-21 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Autonorama: The Illusory Promise of High-Tech Driving, historian Peter Norton argues that driverless cars cannot be the safe, sustainable, and inclusive "mobility solutions" that tech companies and automakers are promising us. The salesmanship behind the "driverless future" is distracting us from better ways to get around that we can implement now. Unlike autonomous vehicles, these alternatives are inexpensive, safe, sustainable, and inclusive. Norton takes the reader on an engaging ride--from the GM Futurama exhibit to "smart" highways and vehicles--to show how we are once again being sold car dependency in the guise of mobility. Autonorama is hopeful, advocating for wise, proven, humane mobility that we can invest in now, without waiting for technology that is forever just out of reach.

Download or read book Punching Out written by Paul Clemens and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2012-01-17 with total page 290 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An elegy—angry, funny, and powerfully detailed—about the slow death of a Detroit auto plant and an American way of life. How does a country dismantle a century’s worth of its industrial heritage? To answer that question, Paul Clemens investigates the 2006 closing of one of America’s most potent symbols: a Detroit auto plant. Prior to its closing, the Budd Company stamping plant on Detroit’s East Side, built in 1919, was one of the oldest active auto plants in America’s foremost industrial city—one whose history includes the nation’s proudest moments and those of its working class. Its closing also reflects the character of the country in a new era—the sad, brutal process of picking it apart and sending it, piece by piece, to the countries that now have use for its machines. Punching Out is an up-close report, at once tender and angry, from the meanest, sharpest edge of America’s deindustrialization, and a lament for a working-class culture that once defined a prosperous America—and that is now on the verge of economic extinction.
Download or read book The Automobile written by Clay McShane and published by Greenwood. This book was released on 1997-11-25 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chronologies can be very useful reference sources, showing the progression of events in relation to time. This chronology on the automobile provides a listing of events related to the automobile from c.8000 B.C.E. (the domestication of animals) to 1994, when Volvo introduced the side impact air bag. Between these two dates are listed all the expected automobile events covering inventions, manufacturing, and production as well as many events related to other vehicles, such as bicycles, trains, buses, military vehicles, and airplanes. Also included are events that have influenced or been influenced by the automobile, such as the appearance of the first U.S. golf course in 1889; the construction of the earliest example of a theriomorphic building (animal-shaped) in 1882, which later influenced the design of American roadside strips; the opening of the first shopping center mall in Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1949; and the peak year for drive-in movie theaters (1958). Even things that are only marginal to automotive history, such as 'Kenneth Grahame's novel, The Wind in the Willows, parodies the car culture for children' (1908), help put the automobile in a larger social and cultural context. The book is divided into seven chapters, from 'Prelude to 1885' to 'Revival: 1981-1994.' Entries, which are arranged year by year, are concise but informative. One appendix contains 14 tables that provide such information as Ford and Cadillac prices for the years 1900-1990; U.S. gasoline prices for the years 1925-88; and persons per car in the U.S. for the years 1925-90. A second appendix is a directory of North American car museums. The index provides name and subject access. All in all, this is a useful book that will provide some quick answers to questions about automobiles at the reference desk in high-school, public, and academic libraries. It is also an interesting book to browse. The only failings are the lack of a general bibliography and citations to source material where readers could find more detailed information.
