Bill Gunston, a prolific and authoritative voice in technical and scientific writing, chronicles the evolution of transport systems from their historical roots through to the pressing dilemmas of the modern age, covering road, rail, air, and sea with equal rigour and clarity. Part of the distinguished World of Science Library series published by Thames and Hudson, the work details the systemic failures and engineering breakthroughs that have defined 20th-century mobility, arguing that the solutions of tomorrow demand a fundamental rethinking of the infrastructure we have inherited. Gunston's style is precise yet accessible, translating complex technical and sociological realities into a compelling narrative that speaks to engineers, policymakers, and curious minds alike. As urban populations swell and the limits of existing networks strain under demand, the questions this volume raises remain as urgent as ever — leaving the reader to wonder whether ingenuity alone will be enough to carry us forward.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203266978011,"sku":"2026200015853-SECONDHAND","price":15.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/acc32275-5f22-42bf-8d71-93e376042735.png?v=1788146996","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015853-secondhand-transport-problems-and-prospects","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
