Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. Across deserts, mountains, and valleys, this book journeys through the British Empire and other global destinations. From the Western coast of Canada through war-torn Europe and Asia, the author records their impressions of cities in transformation in the years following World War I. Towering skyscrapers rise in the nascent global commercial centers of Vancouver and Seattle, while in the relative backwaters of Ceylon, "buried cities" bear witness to a bygone age. Through it all, the author observes changing social and political conditions, including a nascent women's movement and the rise of labor unions, while exploring the profound cultural differences between the Western world and the various Asian and African countries visited. This book offers insights into the global crossroads of a century ago, a time when communication and travel were on the cusp of significant change.
