Las contribuciones de treinta arquitectos y diseñadores de renombre mundial, como Daniel Lierbermann, Nicholas Grimsahw e Imre Makovecz, demuestran la diversidad del planteamiento organico.

David Pearson spent more than four decades working for Fords tractor business, starting on the production line at the makers Dagenham factory before moving to the Basildon tractor plant opened in 1964. He went on to become the makers UK sales manager, and earned a reputation among farmers and dealers as the man who knew all there was to know about Ford tractors. Along the way, he was involved in the development of some of the most famous machines to bear the blue livery, from the Dexta to the 7000, and the FW articulated tractors to the 7810. Edited by agricultural journalist Martin Rickatson, Forty Years with Ford Tractors builds on a series of recollections which originally featured in Classic Tractor magazine, and includes additional material to tell Davids fascinating story in full. It includes a comprehensive selection of black-and-white and colour photographs, many of which have never before been published and will be of interest to all Ford fans and tractor fans more generally.Front cover photograph: (c) Dave Franciosy / www.farmingphotography.co.uk
