Witold Rybczynski, Lyle Blaker (Narrator), "The Driving Machine: A Design History of the Car"

In this lively and entertaining work, Witold Rybczynski—hailed as "one of the best writers on design working today" by Publishers Weekly—tells the story of the most distinctive cars in history and the artists, engineers, dreamers, and gearheads who created them. Delving into more than 170 years of ingenuity in design, technology, and engineering, he takes us from Carl Benz's three-wheel motorcar in 1855 to the present-day shift to electric cars. Along the way, he looks at the emergence of mass production with Henry Ford's Model T; the Golden Age of American car design and the rise of car culture; postwar European subcompacts typified by the Mini Cooper; and the long tradition of the streamlined and elegant sports car.

Rybczynski explores how cars have been reflections of national character (the charming Italian Fiat Cinquecento), icons of a subculture (the VW bus for American hippies), and even emblems of an era (the practical Chrysler minivan). He explains key developments in automotive technology, including the electric starter, rack-and-pinion steering, and disc brakes, bringing to light how the modern automobile is the result of more than a century of trial and error. And he weaves in charming accounts of the many cars he's owned and driven, starting with his first—the iconic Volkswagen Beetle. The Driving Machine is a fascinating history of design.

Witold Rybczynski, Lyle Blaker (Narrator), “The Driving Machine: A Design History of the Car”

在这部生动有趣的著作中，被誉为“当今最优秀的设计师作家之一”的 Witold Rybczynski 告诉我们历史上最具特色汽车的故事以及创造它们的艺术家、工程师、梦想家和车迷。他深入探讨了设计、技术和工程上的170多年发明，从 1855 年卡尔·本茨的三轮摩托车到当今向电动汽车的转变。在过程中，他审视了亨利·福特的 Model T 引发的大规模生产；美国汽车设计的黄金时代以及汽车文化的兴起；以及战后欧洲小型车，以 Mini Cooper 为代表；还有长时期内一直存在的流线型优雅跑车的传统。

Rybczynski 探索了汽车是如何成为民族性格（如迷人的意大利菲亚特 Cinquecento）的反映、某个子文化的象征（如美国嬉皮士的大众巴士）以及甚至是一个时代的标志（如实用的 Chrysler minivan）。他解释了汽车技术的关键发展，包括电启动器、齿条和蜗杆转向装置以及盘式制动器，并揭示现代汽车是经过超过一个世纪的试错得出的结果。他还巧妙地融入了许多他曾拥有的和驾驶过的汽车的故事，从他最初的大众甲壳虫开始。

《The Driving Machine》是一部设计史学的有趣著作。
