Hardcover. Condición: Very Good. No Jacket. In his brilliant new book, Tom Zoellner travels the globe to tell the story of the most indispensable form of transportation our modern society has ever known- the railroad. Zoellner rides from the birthplace of the locomotive in England, crosses Russia on the Trans-Siberian, crests th…e Andes in a rattling coal train, jams with blues musicians across America, ascends to the Tibetan plateau on the world's highest line, speeds across India on its antiquated yet magnificent trains and sips cocktails in the club car with passengers and trainmen all along the way. Trainexplores the history of railroads and their hypnotizing rhythms. It explains how locomotives became living sysmbols of sex, death, power and romance. The gifts of the railroad and everywhere- seasonal food, highway routes, the beat of rock music, huge corporations, mechanistic warfare, pleasant leafy suburbs, the very shapes of our cities, the foundations of cinema, coal-fired electricity, our continental sense of time and space and our connections with people who may live at a distance but are still neighbors. We may think of trains as antiques, but they never really went away. In an economy tied more than ever to the rapid movement of people and goods, new iron spikes are being hammered in unlikely places around the globe. China has spent more than $300 billion on a crash program to unite its provinces with railroads. Developing countries are revitalizing tracks first laid in the nineteenth century. And the United States is experiencing a stupendous boom in cargo rail, while the argument still rages about the very first high-speed rail line in California that threatens the dominance of airlines. In a future full of doubt about petroleum supplies, there may be a train calling on your city once again. An entertaining journey around the world by train as well as a masterful narrative history, Tom Zoellner's extraordinary book is a call to reembrace the train not just as an old friend, but as a weapon against global headaches over trade, traffic and energy. Climb aboard. Praise for Tom Zoellner 'Tom Zoellner's writing is never less than engaging; in Trainhe has made himself a veritable Walt Whitman of rail travel. It's a great read.' Richard Rhodes, Pulitzer Prize-winning Author of The Making of the Atomic Bomb 'Train is such a pleasure to read, elegant, deeply informed and smart, full of knowledge-bearing sentences, and prose so companionable and rich in insight that it is as if its author were at your shoulder, taking you along with him. What an enjoyable journey. I will never hear the far-off moan of a train in the night without thinking of it, and I know of no higher praise one can give a book. Tom Zoellner is quickly making himself a reputation as a man of wide and eclectic interests, and oh, my! Can he write!' Richard Bausch, Author of Peace 'His lively prose carries the reader through physics and history lessons . . . Policymakers and citizens alike need to read Uranium.' he Washington Post 'Crazy fascinating.' Jon Stewart on Uranium Solid binding. Moderate shelf wear.
