Recenzii
“The book considers how technological innovations and transport improvements (such as the train, motorcar, and bike) dramatically transformed perspectives and intensified European experiences of the Asian space. Its authors offer a combination of detailed text interpretations with well-presented theoretical insights. This excellent and highly readable book will fascinate specialists and non-specialists alike”.

It is inspired by the anthropology of the senses, the sociology of travel, post-colonial theory, and the cultural history of transport
