reviewed The Earthscan Reader on World Transport Policy and Practice on December 06, 2017 The Earthscan Reader on World Transport Policy and Practice
An interesting antiquarian travelogue following the early railroad. I don't know a great deal about the ancient and colonial history of Mexico so this was a starting point. As an introduction it has given me plenty to think about. The author tries to be positive and sympathetic towards the majority indigenous population remaining but then his entitlement and rightousness gets in the way. Don't take any of the facts literally.
