Reviews for Motor Transport

'Along with the volume introduction by editor Margaret Walsh, the contributions provide valuable insight into motor transport history; a field that the editor rightly argues has been under-appreciated by the wider discipline. The work, therefore, is an excellent addition to an institutional or personal library, which probably contains few, if any, studies of machines powered by internal combustion engines and how these contraptions have influenced twentieth-century culture, society, and economics.' Albion, Vol. 31, No. 1
