Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: En 1878, le Français Amédée Bollée sort la Mancelle, première voiture fabriquée en série. Dans les dix ans qui suivent, la circulation des automobiles est déjà assez importante pour que le préfet Lépine, en 1893, impose l'ancêtre du permis de conduire. Et dès 1899 un Belge, Camille Jenatzy, dépasse les 100 km/h à bord de la Jamais Contente, une voiture... électrique. Premier magazine illustré, L'Illustration a suivi toute l'évolution de l'automobile et la véritable révolution qu'elle engendre. Tout d'abord considérée comme une bizarrerie pour riches oisifs, puis comme un sport, l'auto devient après la Grande Guerre un phénomène populaire, qui modifie le pays en profondeur. Les villes et les routes doivent s'adapter à ce nouveau mode de déplacement grâce auquel les Français (les plus aisés) partent en week-end, en vacances, et font du tourisme. La signalisation routière, les feux rouges, le code de la route apparaissent... Le design, la publicité, la mode se développent autour de la voiture. Dès les années 1910 à 1930, l'automobile permet également la grande aventure des raids à travers le monde : la traversée du Sahara, la croisière Jaune, la croisière Noire. C'est aussi la naissance d'un extraordinaire engouement pour les courses, la recherche de la vitesse : en 1909, le Français René Thomas dépasse les 200 km/h sur une Blitzen-Benz de 200 CV. Cet ouvrage, qui rassemble les plus belles pages de L'Illustration, retrace plus de soixante ans d'histoire et d'innovations qui ont révolutionné le mode de vie des Français. Un panorama complet et foisonnant de cet âge d'or de l'automobile.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Apparue en France et en Allemagne vers 1890, l'automobile a apporté aux hommes une extraordinaire liberté et rapidité de déplacement. Elle a fait évoluer les techniques industrielles vers la production de masse, a bouleversé les conditions de la vie rurale et de la vie citadine, a poussé les sociétés développées à consommer. Aujourd'hui, l'auto est devenue universelle. Et pourtant, au moment où elle se diffuse de plus en plus dans les pays socialistes et dans le tiers-monde, elle suscite dans les Etats d'Occident - là donc où elle est le plus répandue - de très virulentes critiques... Ce livre vient sans doute à point nommé nous raconter la Révolution automobile. II ne retrace pas seulement l'histoire de ceux qui utilisent l'auto : conducteurs ou passagers, et de ceux qui la produisent : constructeurs, ingénieurs, techniciens, ouvriers. II montre aussi comment la qualité de la vie de chaque citoyen, et même la liberté d'action des Etats, dépendent d'un bon usage de l'automobile. Des tacots héroïques de la Belle Epoque aux recherches futuristes sur le véhicule électrique, des grands patrons comme Ford ou Agnelli aux O.S. de Bombay ou Liverpool, voici donc une véritable histoire mondiale du phénomène automobile. Pour les auteurs, même si le rythme de son expansion doit se modifier, même si sa place de moteur et de symbole de la croissance lui est contestée, l'automobile a encore devant elle un indéniable et incomparable avenir.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses cars of the future and the new socio-economic paradigm that they represent. It examines the electromobility revolution in the traditional automotive industry and brings together multidisciplinary expertise to provide insights into the shift towards electromobility. New vehicular technologies may develop in various directions, including the smart car, and this context raises two important questions: will car manufactures maintain control over the industry? And if so, will they be able to come up with sufficiently radical innovations to steer us into the electromobility of tomorrow? One thing is certain: the transition to electromobility will be a revolution. The book’s combined approach to understanding this complex reality enables readers to better visualize the possible future directions. It offers anyone interested in electromobility an excellent review of the subject and a useful roadmap to future developments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne. The names of these and other French regions bring to mind time-honored winemaking practices. Yet the link between wine and place, in French known as terroir, was not a given. In The Sober Revolution, Joseph Bohling inverts our understanding of French wine history by revealing a modern connection between wine and place, one with profound ties to such diverse and sometimes unlikely issues as alcoholism, drunk driving, regional tourism, Algeria’s independence from French rule, and integration into the European Economic Community. In the 1930s, cheap, mass-produced wines from the Languedoc region of southern France and French Algeria dominated French markets. Artisanal wine producers, worried about the impact of these "inferior" products on the reputation of their wines, created a system of regional appellation labeling to reform the industry in their favor by linking quality to the place of origin. At the same time, the loss of Algeria, once the world’s largest wine exporter, forced the industry to rethink wine production. Over several decades, appellation producers were joined by technocrats, public health activists, tourism boosters, and other dynamic economic actors who blamed cheap industrial wine for hindering efforts to modernize France. Today, scholars, food activists, and wine enthusiasts see the appellation system as a counterweight to globalization and industrial food. But, as The Sober Revolution reveals, French efforts to localize wine and integrate into global markets were not antagonistic but instead mutually dependent. The time-honored winemaking practices that we associate with a pastoral vision of traditional France were in fact a strategy deployed by the wine industry to meet the challenges and opportunities of the post-1945 international economy. France’s luxury wine producers were more market savvy than we realize.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The events of 1968 have been seen as a decisive turning point in the Western world. The author takes a critical look at "May 1968" and questions whether the events were in fact as "revolutionary" as French and foreign commentators have indicated. He concludes the student movement changed little that had not already been challenged and altered in the late fifties and early sixties. The workers' strikes led to fewer working hours and higher wages, but these reforms reflected the secular demands of the French labor movement. "May 1968" was remarkable not because of the actual transformations it wrought but rather by virtue of the revolutionary power that much of the media and most scholars have attributed to it and which turned it into a symbol of a youthful, renewed, and freer society in France and beyond.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers one and a quarter century of the automobile, conceived as a cultural history of its technology, aimed at engineering students and all those who wish to have a concise introduction into the basics of automotive technology and its long-term development . Its approach is systemic and includes the behavior of drivers, producers, nonusers, victims, and other "stakeholders" as well as the discourse around mobility. Nowadays, students of innovation prefer the term co-evolution, emphasizing the parallel and mutually dependent development of technology and society. This acknowledges the importance of contingency and of the impact of the past upon the present, the very reason why The Evolution of Automotive Technology: A Handbook looks at car technology from a long-term perspective. Often we will conclude that the innovation was in the (re)arrangement of existing technologies. Since its beginnings, car manufacturers have brought a total of 1 billion automobiles to the market. We are currently witnessing an explosion toward the second billion. Looking back, we can see this history evolve through five distinctive phases: • Emergence (1880–1917) • Persistence (1917–1940) • Exuberance (1945–1973) • Doom (1973–2000) • Confusion (2001–present) The Evolution of Automotive Technology: A Handbook helps us understand how these phases impacted society and, in turn, shows us how car technology was influenced by car users themselves.

This book was released on 2017-06-30 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the history of the automobile and its evolution. The 19th century is marked by unparalleled advances in science and its applications to the industrial arts. The automobile is looked upon as an ultra progressive idea. The records, however, show that the subject engrossed the attention of inventive minds many hundreds of years ago. In fact, as far back as the beginning of the thirteenth century a Franciscan monk named Roger Bacon prophesied that the day would come when boats and carriages would be propelled by machinery. The first authentic record of a self-propelled carriage dates back to the middle of the sixteenth century. The inventor was Johann Haustach, of Nuremburg. The device is described as a chariot propelled by the force of springs, and it is said that it attained a speed of two thousand paces per hour, about one mile and a quarter. Springs have been tried by many inventors since that time, but always without success from the simple fact that the amount of energy that can be stored in a spring is practically insignificant. In 1763 a Frenchman by the name of Cugnot devised a vehicle that was propelled by steam, and a few years after the date of his first experiment, constructed for the French Government a gun carriage which is shown in Fig. 1. As will be seen, the design was of the tricycle type, and it was intended to mount the gun between the rear wheels. The boiler, which resembles a huge kettle, hung over the front end and was apparently devoid of a smoke stack. Motion was imparted to the front wheel by means of a ratchet. Although this invention is very crude, it must be regarded as meritorious if we consider that it was made before the steam engine had been developed in a successful form for stationary purposes. The next effort to solve the problem was made by W. Symington in the year 1784, the carriage devised by him being illustrated in Fig. 2. This coach, although pretentious in appearance, was crude mechanically, but it actually ran. The service, however, was not what could be called satisfactory. In 1803, Richard Trevithick brought out the carriage shown in Fig. 3, which could run. but was artistically a failure. Moreover, the machinery was such as would soon give out, even if well designed, on account of its exposed position. Between 1805 and 1830, quite a number of steam vehicles were invented and put into practical operation...
