"A beautiful interweaving of memoir and history, of driving
narrative and insightful reflection." - Ken McGoogan, author of
Dead Reckoning and Kerouac's Ghost Accessible and entertaining,
Road Through Time begins with the story of how anatomically modern
humans left Africa to populate the world. She then carries us along
the Silk Road in Central Asia, and tells of roads built for war in
Persia, the Andes, and the Roman Empire. She sails across the seas,
and introduces the first railways, all before plunking us down in
the middle of a massive, modern freeway. The book closes with a
view from the end of the road, literally and figuratively, asking,
can we meet the challenges presented by a mode of travel dependent
on hydrocarbons, or will we decline, like so many civilizations
that have come before us?
