SUMMARY

Capturing the excitement of a nation as it became a driving force -- inmore ways than one -- Driving Around America is the story of how America'sromantic, restless spirit found its counterpart in the automobile. With HenryFord's assembly lines lowering the price of cars, ordinary people began totravel where and when they pleased with a freedom never before known -- and thenation would never be the same. People moved farther from their work, creatingsuburbs; the demand for gasoline increased, spurring the growth of the petroleumindustry; and individual members of families moved far from each other, changingthe social fabric of the nation. From the auto's early beginnings to thecommonplace use of cars in all aspects of life today, Driving Around America isa fascinating portrait of how America transformed as its citizens were on themove more and more.Martin W. Sandler is the author of 'Driving Around the USA: Automobiles in American Life (Transportation in American Life)', published 2003 under ISBN 9780195132304 and ISBN 0195132300.
