ABSTRACT
Anybody who buys this book immediately after publication will not live to see the year 2100, but they will certainly see a change of lifestyle as surely as has occurred in past centuries. The developments at the end of the Second World War have revolutionized transport where large gas-turbine powered aircraft have displaced the big ocean liners for global passenger transport and widespread car ownership has taken over from the horse and cart and the railways which were commonplace at the start of the 20th century.
