'Speckled with anecdotes, insights and surprises. It is great fun -
and utterly timely' Sunday Times 'Standage writes with a masterly
clarity' New York Times 'The product of deep research, great
intelligence and burnished prose . . . It is rare that I encounter
a non-fiction author whose prose is so elegant that it is worth
reading for itself. Standage is a writer of this class' Wall Street
Journal Beginning around 3,500 BC with the wheel, and moving
through the eras of horsepower, trains and bicycles, Tom Standage
puts the rise of the car - and the future of urban transport - into
a broader historical context. Our society has been shaped by the
car in innumerable ways, many of which are so familiar that we no
longer notice them. Why does red mean stop and green mean go? Why
do some countries drive on the left, and some on the right? How did
cars, introduced only a little over a century ago, change the way
the world was administered, laid out and policed, along with
experiences like eating and shopping? And what might travel in a
post-car world look like? As social transformations from
ride-sharing to the global pandemic force us to critically
re-examine our relationship with personal transportation, A Brief
History of Motion is an essential contribution to our understanding
of how the modern world came to be.

The Mini, now an emblem of the Swinging Sixties, was in fact the
product of an age of austerity and shortage, a simple design
intended to make motoring more accessible and affordable for the
average family. Ironically, it would become something very
different: a modern, classless style icon that appealed across the
boundaries of social status, age and gender and lent its name to
everything from fashion to furniture. Using illustrations from the
archives of the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, Gillian
Bardsley here tells the Mini's story, from the inspired conception
of designer Alec Issigonis, through the car's shaky infancy and up
to its glorious heyday when it was beloved of film stars, royalty
and the public, as well as having a prominent presence in
motorsport.
