Editorial Review Product Description It did so for complex reasons, few of them, in Kirsch's account, having todo with purely technological issues. Enter the "burden of history," afruitful notion that reminds us that deterministic ideas of why things arethe way they are--for example, that the lead-acid battery held insufficientpower to carry cars over long distances without recharging, thus ensuring thevictory of the more easily replenished internal-combustion engine--areoften only half-right, if that. Kirsch urges that those concerned withanalyzing the wherefores of the past take into consideration multiplecauses, and not always the most apparent ones. The automobile, hecontinues, is not simply a machine, but "a material embodiment of thedynamic interaction of consumers and producers, private and publicinstitutions, existing and potential capabilities, and prevailing ideasabout gender, health, and the environment." In short, the automobile is asystem unto itself, and how it came to take its present form--unchanged inmany respects for a hundred years--is a story that involves manyepisodes. Kirsch's account of some of those episodes provides a solid case study forstudents of technological history, and for those who press for new means oftransportation in the new century. --Gregory McNamee Customer Reviews (2)
