This simple concept was the driving force that propelled the Volkswagen Beetle to become an avatar of American-style freedom, a household brand, and a global icon. The VW Bug inspired the ad men of Madison Avenue, beguiled Woodstock Nation, and has recently been re-imagined for the hipster generation. And while today it is surely one of the most recognizable cars in the world, few of us know the compelling details of this cars story. In Thinking Small, journalist and cultural historian Andrea Hiott retraces the improbable journey of this little car that changed the world. Andrea Hiotts wide-ranging narrative stretches from the factory floors of Weimar Germany to the executive suites of todays automotive innovators, showing how a succession of artists and engineers shepherded the Beetle to market through periods of privation and war, reconstruction and recovery. Henry Fords Model T may have revolutionized the American auto industry, but for years Europe remained a place where only the elite drove cars. That all changed with the advent of the Volkswagen, the product of a Nazi initiative to bring driving to the masses. But Hitlers concept of the peoples car would soon take on new meaning. As Germany rebuilt from the rubble of World War II, a whole generation succumbed to the charms of the worlds most huggable automobile. Indeed, the story of the Volkswagen is a story about people, and Hiott introduces us to the men who believed in it, built it, and sold it: Ferdinand Porsche, the visionary Austrian automobile designer whose futuristic dream of an affordable family vehicle was fatally compromised by his patron Adolf Hitlers monomaniacal drive toward war; Heinrich Nordhoff, the forward-thinking German industrialist whose management innovations made mass production of the Beetle a reality; and Bill Bernbach, the Jewish American advertising executive whose team of Madison Avenue mavericks dreamed up the legendary ad campaign that transformed the quintessential German compact into an outsize worldwide phenomenon. Thinking Small is the remarkable story of an automobile and an idea. Hatched in an age of darkness, the Beetle emerged into the light of a new era as a symbol of individuality and personal mobility--a triumph not of the will but of the imagination--Provided by publisher. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1679176 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1705526 The original 1992 Dodge Viper captured lightning in a bottle upon its debut.

Drabelle tells a classic story of corporate greed vs. the power of the pen. The Central Pacific Railroad accepted US Government loans; but, when the loans fell due, the last surviving founder of the railroad avoided repayment. Bierce, at the behest of his boss William Randolph Hearst, swung into action writing over sixty stinging articles that became a signal achievement in American journalism. Later, Norris focused the first volume of his trilogy, The Octopus, on the freight cars of a thinly disguised version of the Central Pacific. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1668694 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1556273 This remarkable new book covers all the fascinating Titanic research, which the author has been involved in, since 2000.

[4] of cover. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1687073 From the Publisher: In 1964, Chrysler gave the world a glimpse of the future. They built a fleet of turbine cars-automobiles with jet engines-and loaned them out to members of the public. The fleet logged over a million miles; the exercise was a raging success. These turbine engines would run on any flammable liquid-tequila, heating oil, Chanel #5, diesel, alcohol, kerosene. If the cars had been mass produced, we might have cars today that do not require petroleum-derived fuels. The engine was also much simpler than the piston engine-it contained one-fifth the number of moving parts and required much less maintenance. The cars had no radiators or fan belts and never needed oil changes. Yet Chrysler crushed and burned most of the cars two years later; the jet cars brief glory was over. Where did it all go wrong? Controversy still follows the program, and questions about how and why it was killed have never been satisfactorily answered. Steve Lehto has interviewed all the surviving members of the turbine car program-from the metallurgist who created the exotic metals for the interior of the engine to the test driver who drove it at Chryslers proving grounds for days on end. Lehto takes these first-hand accounts and weaves them into a great story about the coolest car Detroit ever produced. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1687307 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1668658 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1559181 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1671434 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1661778 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1668372 Driving down a country road, a flash of chrome catches your eye as you pass an old farmstead.
