A Nation on Wheels,
By Nick Albert (Santa Monica CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Nation on Wheels: The Automobile Culture in America Since 1945 (Wadsworth Books on America Since 1945) (Paperback)
Mark S. Foster's A Nation on Wheels describes the rise of automobile culture in America. The first chapter sets the stage, giving background as to why society was ready for the introduction of the automobile. Foster gives a rounded and interesting account of the history of the automobile and its impact on American culture, but fails to give any insight as to the solution of the problems created by the automobile. He also gives important statistics on the effect of the automobile on the US economy. Foster also showed how the automobile created the market for huge industries today such as motels and fast food. As well as the automobiles influence on the trend towards suburban lifestyle and it's effect on the economy.
5.0 out of 5 stars
