This book is an important survey of the new evidence and arguments regarding road transport over the past three centuries. It sheds new light on the importance of horse-drawn freight in the eighteenth century, offsets the undue attention paid to the railways in the nineteenth century, and stresses that motor transport's present great importance only dates from the 1950s.
