Hardcover. Condizione: Very Good. No dust jacket, Blue cloth boards have minor shelf wear, binding tight, pages clean and unmarked. In the mid-nineteenth century the eyes of western European explorers were firmly fixed on advancing inland from former maritime colonies in the Americas, Africa, the Indian sub-continent and Austral…asia, their motives often being inextricably bound up with concerns of imperial politics and commerce. Simultaneously, further east, Russians resumed their perceived mission to civilise Asia, following their own country?s humiliation during the Crimean War. From a springboard of Siberian territories acquired gradually over the previous three centuries, discovery and expansion radiated from the Imperial Russian Geographical Society, founded in 1845 and incorporating initiatives drawn from descendants of immigrant French and German scientists who themselves inspired a new generation of liberal intellectuals. A key personality in that movement was the Society?s librarian and secretary of its physical geography section, P. P. Semenov (1827-1914), a member of a minor gentry family who had been tutored by a pupil of Linnacus and who had studied under Ritter and von Humboldt at Berlin during a tour of Europe in 1853-4. From them he conceived the notion of travelling to the virtually unknown lands of Central Asia, ostensibly to verify opinions on the existence there of active volcanoes and glaciers. In reality his ambition was to penetrate beyond the Kazakh steppe and to reach the fabled Celestial Mountains, the Tian?-Shan? range, which constituted the politically sensitive border between Russia and China and the equally hostile buffer zone of Muslim kahnates. Accompanied only by a serf servant, in May 1856 Semenov embarked on a 18-month journey from St Petersburg through Kazan? to Semipalatinsk, and thence via the Altai to the newly established Russian settlement of Vernoe (later Alma-Ata, now Almaty). Subsequently he received a Cossack escort on his trek into the high plateaus and ridges surrounding Issyk-kul?, to ?the very heart of Asia..

Prof. Peter Kirchberg was an automotive historian and expert on automobile construction in Saxony, he helped to establish the August Horc…h Museum in Zwickau and was a lecturer at the Hochschule für Verkehrswesen Dresden (University of Transport). The "Friedrich List" Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences remembers Prof. Dr. Peter Kirchberg,made a name for himself as an expert in automotive history and vehicle construction in the GDR. Prof. Kirchberg's academic career began in 1964 at the former Hochschule für Verkehrswesen "Friedrich List" (HfV, University of Transport), the predecessor institution of today's "Friedrich List" Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences at TU Dresden. He completed his doctorate there with a thesis on the history of Auto Union AG. He then remained at the HfV as a senior assistant, specifically at the Institute of Transport Economics and History. From 1980, he worked there as a lecturer in economic and transport history. Kirchberg published more than 150 publications on automotive history, with 20 works focussing in particular on the history of motor vehicles in Saxony. After reunification, Peter Kirchberg remained a professor at the HfV until its dissolution in November 1992. As Vice-Rector for Teaching and Studies from June 1990 to November 1992, he was involved in the transition period from the HfV to the Faculty of Transport and Traffic Sciences in Dresden. A History of Progress - Chronicle of the Audi AG book published by the factory, 1996 ed., [first issued in 1973], consistent updates of the company's history and developments, in racing, speed records and production for their related marques such as Auto Union, Wanderer, Horch and both the cars and motorcycles of DKW. Audi AG is a German automotive manufacturer of luxury vehicles headquartered in Ingolstadt, Bavaria, Germany. The origins of the company are complex, dating back to the early 20th century and the initial enterprises (Horch and the Audiwerke) founded by engineer August Horch. Two other manufacturers (DKW and Wanderer) also contributed to the foundation of Auto Union in 1932. The modern Audi era began in the 1960s, when Auto Union was acquired by Volkswagen from Daimler-Benz. After relaunching the Audi brand with the 1965 introduction of the Audi F103 series, Volkswagen merged Auto Union with NSU Motorenwerke in 1969, thus creating the present-day form of the company. The company name is based on the Latin translation of the surname of the founder, August Horch. Horch, meaning 'listen', becomes audi in Latin. The four rings of the Audi logo each represent one of four car companies that banded together to create Audi's predecessor company, Auto Union. Audi's slogan is Vorsprung durch Technik, which is translated as 'Progress through Technology'. Audi became a sister to Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG (more commonly known as Porsche AG) following Volkswagen Group's 100% acquisition of the latter in 2012, and along with German brands BMW and Mercedes-Benz, is among the best-selling luxury automobile brands in the world. Automobile company Wanderer was originally established in 1885, later becoming a branch of Audi AG. Another company, NSU, which also later merged into Audi, was founded during this time, and later supplied the chassis for Gottlieb Daimler's four-wheeler. On 14 November 1899, August Horch (18681951) established the company A. Horch & Cie. in the Ehrenfeld district of Cologne. In 1902, he moved with his company to Reichenbach im Vogtland. On 10 May 1904, he founded the August Horch & Cie. Motorwagenwerke AG, a joint-stock company in Zwickau (State of Saxony). After troubles with Horch chief financial officer, August Horch left Motorwagenwerke and founded in Zwickau on 16 July 1909, his second company, the August Horch Automobilwerke GmbH. His former partners sue.
