Chasing Rickshaws by Tony Wheeler

In 1997, inveterate Asia travellers Tony Wheeler and Richard I'Anson chased rickshaws through twelve Asian cities. Rickshaws, their riders and their customers have been studied by engineers, evaluated by transport economists and analysed by sociologists. And now they're celebrated in this lavishly illustrated book.
