{"product_id":"the-history-of-the-vespa-andrea-rapini-9780367077549","title":"The History of the Vespa: An Italian Miracle","description":"\u003cp\u003eDespite the symbolic capital and the global commercial success of the Vespa scooter, there is no academic book dealing with its history, only literature produced by the company itself or by scooter enthusiasts. The origins of the Vespa are shrouded in mist, entrusted more to myth than to historical truth. Based on lengthy research carried out in Piaggio's historical archives and on an interdisciplinary approach, this volume aims to fill this gap. It shows how the Vespa took techniques from the most advanced aeronautical industries in the world, adapting and hybridizing them in an original way, and how the company disseminated its models in the transnational social space.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Andrea Rapini\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 036707754X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367077549\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/29\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.60d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2019","brand":"Andrea Rapini","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44058141098239,"sku":"9780367077549","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2491460-3061-44a0-b25e-3bf208d3e2f0.jpg?v=1685050880","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-history-of-the-vespa-andrea-rapini-9780367077549","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
