Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. "Travelers hitting the highways this summer might better appreciate the asphalt beneath their tires thanks to this engrossing history of the creation of the U.S. interstate system."--Los Angeles Times Perhaps nothing changed the face of America more than the creation of the interstate system. At once man-made wonders, economic pipelines, agents of sprawl, and uniquely American sirens of escape, the interstates snake into every aspect of modern life. The Big Roads documents their historic creation and the many people they've affected, from the speed demon who inspired a primitive web of dirt auto trails, to the cadre of largely forgotten technocrats who planned the system years before Ike reached the White House, to the thousands of city dwellers who resisted the concrete juggernaut when it bore down on their neighborhoods. The Big Roads tells the story of this essential feature of the landscape we have come to take for granted. With a view toward players both great and small, Swift gives readers the full story of one of America's greatest engineering achievements. "Engaging, informative . . . The first thorough history of the expressway system."--Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post "The book is a road geek's treasure--and everyone who travels the highways ought to know these stories."--Kirkus Reviews A history of the planning, construction, and impact of the U.S. interstate highway system.

This unique anthology, which also inclused a comprehensive bibliography, will be of particular interest to students and teachers of mdoern British and Irish social history. The past twenty years have witnessed notable developments in the scholarly study of Irish migration and settlement in nineteenth-century Britain, as a burgeoning historiography and the emergence of specialist courses in British colleges and universities serve to illustrate.
