I snagged 2 awesome books to review that I KNEW would excite my man!
Tracing the history of the automobile, from the first prototypes to the super cars of today, Car covers the technological developments and manufacture of cars, the cultural backdrop against which the various models arose, and the enduring impact the car has had on society as an object of curiosity, symbol of luxury, and item of necessity.
The most lavishly illustrated treatment of the subject on the market, featuring the most noteworthy cars of each decade in beautifully photographed catalogs, Car is truly an international view of the automobile through time, with histories of the men and machines that created brands which are now household names.
So I was bang-on with this book! My car-lovin' man totally drools for hours over this one! ;)
This book REALLY is 'The Definitive Visual History of the Automobile'!! Over 1200 cars from around the world are displayed in decade-by-decade catalogs! This BIG 360 page book even appeals to my girls, 8 and 12, BUT they've been warned to look CAREFULLY at it and wash their hands first! (true story!) He also VERY much appreciated that one of the 2 exclusive prints the book contained was of the 1963 Aston Martin DB5...you know this one is going up in the mancave, we just need a frame for it first!
From global wars to the digital revolution, this visual guide showcases the century that changed everything. Stunning historic photographs, illustrated timelines, artifacts and first person eyewitness accounts capture the drama of history in the making and showcase the most significant events, people and cultural milestones that have shaped our world today.
- Features over 1250 photographs
- Includes timeline of key Canadian events from 1900 to the present day
This book was also a well-received choice! My man is also a news and history buff too, so this comprehensive 320 page book is now a welcome addition to our coffeetable. EVERYONE seems to flip through this book when they see it! This was also a great educational pick that my fact-loving daughters will certainly learn a LOT from!
