Bøger i Classics in Social and Economic History serien

This lively work offers a wide-ranging account of the social history of the motorised age, and of the machine which has reshaped the character and development of the modern world. It places the development of the car (and of its more sinister cousins the tank and the war plane) in their context and impact on society in peace and war from the Edwardian period onwards. This is a social history of modern Britain at its most focused, on issues that really matter.

This revised edition includes an introduction and bibliographical guide to electoral sources for the important period of reforms, 1832-1885, by Professor H. J. Hanham. It remains an essential work of reference for any serious study of the electoral system of the UK. It is an indispensable work by the noted Parliamentary insider who devoted his life to his compendiums.
