Ediz. illustrata. White Star 2008, cm.28,5x29, pp.324 centinaia di figg.bn.nt. legatura editoriale. Coll.Tesori Senza Tempo. Circa cinquant'anni prima dell'Indipendenza dalla Gran Bretagna la "carrozza senza cavalli" - così veniva chiamata l'automobile in lingua arcaica - apparve in India e rivoluzionò lo sfarzoso stile di vita dei reali indiani. In quel mezzo di trasporto a quattro ruote, così di moda, i favolosi Maharaja scoprirono un'affascinante nuova passione, che sarebbe durata per molti decenni. Non deve sorprendere che in India, come in nessun altro luogo del mondo, automobili così sfarzose venissero destinate ai più svariati compiti: processioni cerimoniali, visite ufficiali, matrimoni e battute di caccia. Questo volume ricco di fotografie dell'epoca presenta tutte le automobili dei Maharaja, le collezioni private e gli usi che venivano fatti di questi prestigiosi mezzi; non mancano immagini curiose e divertenti che raffigurano attraversamenti di fiumi, trasporto di tigri e carovane miste di elefanti e lussuose automobili.

London, Carlton Books 2003, cm.30x30, pp.256, ill.bw. and col., hardcover with dustjacket. Once viewed as a plaything of the wealthy and eccentric, cars are now an integral part of modern life. The Car provides a complete history of the automobile, not just the makes and models but its role in many spheres of life: politics, family life, war, advertising, architecture, movies and art to name a few. Jonathan Glancey also covers the development of the car, from the early 'horseless carriages', through people's cars from the VW Beetle to the Ford Galaxy, and the speed machines and dream cars of various eras. Combining Jonathan Glancey's illuminating text with fascinating photographs, The Car is much more than another encyclopedia, it reveals why we love, loathe and depend on one of the greatest modern inventions, and how the car really has shaped the way we live now. In the same impressive format as Space and Flight, this latest photographic collection will include rare and unusual images from around the world as well as classic shots of some of the greatest cars ever made.
