of the Automotive Industry
This volume examines the methods used to promote occupational safety and health in the
automotive industries of the United States, West Germany, Sweden, the United Kingdom, Japan,
and Kenya. The author pays particular attention to the ways in which the broad national social,

and outcomes. The study also focuses on the differing degrees of cooperation and conflict
exhibited among involved parties in the handling of occupational safety in different countries and
companies.

Automotive Industry
Death of Motoring, The?: Car Making and Automobility in the 21st Century
Perceiving that the world motor industry is about to crash into a wall made of a chronic lack of
profitability and environmental concern, assesses some of its weaknesses and explores solutions
for more sustainable mobility. Argues that the industry's obsession with body technology makes
it dependent on volume demand, that E. G. Budd rather than Henry Ford was the true originator
of the paradigm of mass car production, and that the industry might survive by starting to sell
personal mobility rather than just cars. Draws on studies at the Centre for Automotive Industry
Research in Cardiff, Wales. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
