Tractors
Tractorsby Robert Moorhouse
Moorhouse, a lifelong farmer in rural England, knows tractors: He spent three decades researching these mechanized work-
horses and the many ways they've transformed the world over the last 130 years. As he points out, these engineering marvels are a mix of technological influences from America, Britain and Germany, and have been used everywhere from the South Pole to remote Pacific islands. With nearly 200 photo-packed pages and a degree of detail that often borders on obsession, Tractors plows into an enjoyably bumpy, international ride across some surprisingly far-flung fields.
