From lumbering house-shakers on solid tyres to smooth turbo-power in the 1970s, the lorry has come a very long way in a remarkably short time. In the early competition between steam, petrol and electricity, the internal combustion engine had more or less won by the 1920s, after proving itself in the First World War, when all-wheel-drive arrived in quantity and thousands of new drivers were trained. The book traces the developments that created the modern truck in the 1960s and 1970s - tilt cabs,...

But while television advertisements told of an 'Age of the Train', Monday morning misery continued for many, the commuter experience steadily worsening as rolling stock aged and grew ever more uncomfortable. Even when BR launched new electrification schemes and new suburban trains in the...

Following the glamour of the 'Swinging 60s' when London was undoubtedly the place to be, the next decade was perhaps more conservative, reflecting both a change in the political landscape and the impact of the oil crises of the first half the decade. For London Transport, the 1970s started with the creation of London Country as a separate operator, with the National Bus Company assuming responsibility for the former London Transport Country area services from 1st January 1970. By the end of the decade...

In the New York of the 1970s, in the wake of Stonewall and in the midst of economic collapse, you might find the likes of Jasper Johns and William Burroughs at the next cocktail party, and you were as likely to be caught arguing Marx at the New York City Ballet as cruising for sex in the warehouses and parked trucks along the Hudson. This is the New York that Edmund White portrays in “City Boy”: a place of enormous intrigue and artistic tumult. Combining the no-holds-barred confession and yearning...
