Autos and Progress reinterprets twentieth-century Brazilian history through automobiles, using them as a window for understanding the nation's struggle for modernity in the face of its massive geographical size, weak central government, and dependence on agricultural exports. Among the topics Wolfe touches upon are the first sports cars and elite consumerism; intellectuals' embrace of cars as the key for transformation and unification of Brazil; Henry Ford's building of a company town in the Brazilian jungle; the creation of a transportation infrastructure; democratization and consumer culture; auto workers and their creation of a national political party; and the economic and environmental impact of autos on Brazil. This focus on Brazilians' fascination with automobiles and their reliance on auto production and consumption as keys to their economic and social transformation, explains how Brazil--which enshrined its belief in science and technology in its national slogan of Order and Progress--has differentiated itself from other Latin American nations. Autos and Progress engages key issues in Brazil around the meaning and role of race in society and also addresses several classic debates in Brazilian studies about the nature of Brazil's great size and diversity and how they shaped state-making.

Rather than being merely a "who-did-what-when" chronological review of the automobile's technical history, The Automobile: A Century of Progress covers the car's development using a systems-approach to more closely mirror the way a car is engineered. Now collected together in one commemorative volume, these 14 articles (originally published in Automotive Engineering Magazine from 1995-96) tell the story of the birth and development of an industry that revolutionized the modern world. Well-illustrated with numerous photos and drawings, this fascinating book will be of interest to anyone who loves cars -- the engineer who designs them, the enthusiast who tinkers with them, or the fan who drives them.

You'll learn about the Audi UV of 1934, the Wanderer W21 of 1933, and the Horch 853 and its role in Audi's success in the automotive industry. Enthusiasts can read about the early years and the growth after the company's successful efforts in both marketing and manufacturing, the motorcycles and bicycles that helped in the lean years, the modern all-aluminum show cars, and the new A4 and V8 quattro. You'll see how Audi has built its reputation on motor sports success, from its first win in the InternationalAustrian Alpine Run in 1911, to the spectacular sixteen-cylinder Auto Union racers of the 30s, to motorcycle speed record holders, and the quattro rally and touring car champions of recent years. "A History of Progress" contains hundreds of rare factory photos and illustrations, presenting Audi's past and present in a hardcover, high quality book. Whether you are an Audi owner, enthusiast or automotive historian, "A History of Progress" belongs on your bookshelf.
