Présentation de l'éditeur :
The steam locomotive was the first "machine" to transport people faster than animals had, and it led to enormous social and economic change, finally becoming a cult object in itself. The passion associated with the affinity surrounding the steam engine willingly surpasses all reason and has led to a myriad of heartfelt prose. This book aims to get close to the heart of the matter, combining technical knowledge with nostalgia and photographs dedicated to this unique form of power.
Biographie de l'auteur :
Patrick Whitehouse and David St John Thomas shared a deep love of the railways. Both authors wrote a large number of railway books, some as individuals but many in collaboration. Patrick Whitehouse was dedicated to railway preservation; his death in 1993 brough to an end a great writing partnership which sold more than a million books. David St John Thomas was the founder of David & Charles and its chairman until 1990. He lives in Nairn, Scotland.

Description du livre Hard Cover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. Dust jacket price clipped. Black cloth with bright gilt titling on spine. Previous ownership inscription on ffep. Numerous colour & b/w photographs.192 pages clean and tight. The steam locomotive was one of man's most beneficial inventions. First carrying people faster than the speed of an animal, and enabling mass-production industry and agriculture to specialize, it had enormous social and economic consequences - but also rapidly became a cult object in itself. Indeed over more than a century and a half, many men of all ages and from all backgrounds have had an affinity with the steam engine that surpasses all reason. `Passion' is the word that describes the often-extraordinary behaviour to enable the savouring of the joys of steam. There have been many previous books on steam, but none has got closer to the heart of the matter with a combination of technical, nostalgic and imaginative writing and a splended selection of photographs celebrating the pulsating joy of this unique form of power. The very sounds and smells of steam seem to step from the pages - steam in good and bad times, regular and highly irregular, past and present when the number of locomotives in regular work around the world is declining rapidly but the love of steam has produced a massive preservation movement. The die-hard enthusiast will not be disappointed and will discover rich new perspective if not new facts; those more recently smitten with the steam bug will share in the experiences of many notable men of steam.
