Two Billion Cars: Driving Toward Sustainability by Daniel Sperling and Deborah Gordon; Foreword by Arnold Schwarzenegger Oxford University Press, 2009
At present, there are roughly a billion motor vehicles in the world. Within twenty years, the number will double to 2 billion, largely a consequence of China's and India's explosive growth. In Two Billion Cars, transportation experts Daniel Sperling and Deborah Gordon provide a concise history of America's love affair with cars and an overview of the global oil and auto industries. They zero in on reforming our gas-guzzling culture, expanding the search for low-carbon fuels, environment-friendly innovations in transportation planning, and more.
UCF Libraries owns Two Billion Cars in print, at HE5611.S67 2009.
The March eBook of the Month is provided with free unlimited access March 1-31 through the generous support of Oxford University Press. To read, click on NetLibrary on the UCF Libraries list of databases at http://library.ucf.edu/Databases/
Arnold Schwarzenegger can write?
That was rude and entirely uncalled for.
Unkind must come to the thoughts of all who think of you.
I wish there were more books on solar powered cars or journals that dedicate themselves to research on this. Are there any? where should I look?
I am sure , with the test of time, we will have a fully solar powered car- or a car that can be powered by something other than gasoline/petrol.
I see some magazines at WAL-mart that discuss this crucial issue.
All the best,
By searching the library's catalog, very happy, you can find material on solar cars. A Solar Car Primer, by Eric Thacher, TL222 .T49 2003, is one of the titles available in the main library collection. To find journal articles, you might consult Compendex, also called Engineering Village, in the list of Articles and Databases (the tab at the top of this page), or just search for it in the library catalog. For even more resources, just Ask A Librarian and IM, chat, email, or call in your questions. There is also a tab for Ask A Librarian at the top of this page, and a link to it at the very bottom of this page.
very funny library fan
