{"product_id":"routledge-revivals-michael-freeman-9781138566330","title":"Routledge Revivals: The Atlas of British Railway History (1985)","description":"\u003cp\u003eFirst published in 1985, this Atlas uses over 50 specially drawn maps to trace the rise and fall of the railways' fortunes, and is supported by an interesting and authoritative text. Financial and operating statistics are clearly presented in diagrammatic form and provide a wealth of information rarely available to the student of railway history. Freeman and Aldcroft provide the basis for a new understanding of the way in which the railways transformed Britain by the scale of their engineering works, by shrinking national space and reorganising the layouts of urban areas. Maps show the evolution of early wagon routes into the first railway routes, the frenetic activity of the 'Railway Mania' years, and the consolidation of these lines into a national network. This exciting presentation of railway development will interest the enthusiast as well as the more general student of British transport history. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Freeman,Derek Aldcroft\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138566330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138566330\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 132\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.38d","brand":"Michael Freeman","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48457834660095,"sku":"9781138566330","price":160.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e07a1452-b911-4cad-98c4-e588e41e33e4.jpg?v=1777401212","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/routledge-revivals-michael-freeman-9781138566330","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
