Recenzii

"A nuanced, precisely researched analysis of the European urban railroad station as exemplar of technological modernization." - John Stilgoe, Harvard University"Fascinating and fast-moving. Nilsen has woven a rich analysis of the arrival of railroads into the heart of three of Europe's greatest cities. This book breaks new ground, uncovering the story of how an all-powerful industry altered the destiny of some of the world's premier urban areas." - Joseph Schwieterman, DePaul University"Railways is a "must" for urban planners and will no doubt be a "want to" for rail enthusiasts." - Ray Bert, Civil Engineering
