She then carries us along the Silk Road in central Asia, and tells of roads built for war in Persia, the Andes, and the Roman Empire. She then sails across the seas, and introduces the first railways, all before plunking us down in the middle of a massive, modern freeway. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book closes with a view from the end of the road, literally and figuratively: asking, can we meet the challenges presented by a mode of travel dependent on hydrocarbons, or will we decline, as so many civilizations have in the past?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mary Soderstrom\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0889774773\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780889774773\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Regina Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/15\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 6.00w x 0.70d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 03\/13\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/15\/2017 pg. 98","brand":"Mary Soderstrom","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43926777004287,"sku":"9780889774773","price":22.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_dc8d0977-b90a-4a31-9969-9925ed797364.jpg?v=1681084948","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/road-through-time-mary-soderstrom-9780889774773","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
