Summary
A smooth ride through the golden age of car travel, looking at both its cultural and architectural impact on the world.
Despite the inherently mobile nature of cars, the culture of road travel and the road trip is arguably best reflected in the stationary spots found along the way. Christopher Beanland journeys through these built environments the world over, whose sole purpose is to cater to cars and those who drive them, and examines what makes them so alluring.
