Reviews

<p>Josephson has synthesized a great deal of information in Motorized Obsessions, and the reader will walk away with a much better appreciation of how these machines developed, their widespread use, and the negative consequences associated with their operation.--Terence Kehoe Business History Review (01/01/0001)


Unique and informative... A small book loaded with information... This is a must purchase for all libraries. Highly recommended. -- Choice
