Chevrolet created the Camaro in response to the runaway sales
success of the Ford Mustang, the first pony car. The Mustang went
on sale in April 1964, and by August that same year, General Motors
launched an intensive program to bring its own pony car to market.
In September 1966, the Camaro went on sale. Chevrolet wanted the
Camaro to be better than the Mustang in every area, including
style, ride-quality, and performance. To that end, with the Mustang
having already achieved so much racing success, Chevrolet wanted to
beat it on the track also. Racing Camaros: An International
Photographic History 1966 - 1986 is a photographic celebration of
road racing Camaros throughout the world. It focuses on
production-based cars, rather than the heavily modified tube-frame
silhouette machines that began appearing in the late 1970s.
Included are images of big-budget factory-supported cars competing
in the Trans-Am series, right through to low-buck independents, and
cars competing throughout the world. For the first time, the
international road racing representation of the Camaro is featured
in a book, which includes countless photos that have never been
published. Technical detail is provided throughout, from concept
and design, right through its racing career, and the challenges and
developments that took place to make it a winner. Only period
images have been used. This is a true photographic history
depicting the global popularity of the Chevrolet Camaro as a road
racing car.
The Autonomous Vehicle (AV) has been strongly heralded as the most
exciting innovation in automobility for decades. Autonomous
Vehicles are no longer an innovation of the future (seen only in
science fiction) but are now being road-tested for use. And yet
while the technical and economic success and possibilities of the
AV have been widely debated, there has been a notable lack of
discussion around the social, behavioural, and environmental
implications. This book is the first to address these issues and to
deeply consider the environmental and social sustainability outlook
for the AV and how it will impact on communities. Environmental and
social sustainability are goals unlike those of technical
development (a new tool) and economic development (a new
investment). The goal of sustainability is development of societies
that live well and equitably within their ecological limits. Is it
reasonable and desirable that only technical and economic success
comprise the swelling AV parade, or should we be looking at the
wider impacts on personal well-being, wider society, and the
environment? The uptake for AVs looks to be lengthy, disjointed,
and episodic, in large measure because it faces a range of known
unknown risks. This book assesses the environmental and social
sustainability potential for AVs based on their prospective energy
use and their impacts on climate change, urban landscapes, public
health, mobility inequalities, and individual and social
well-being. It examines public attitudes about AV use and its risk
of fostering a rebound effect that compromises potential
sustainability gains. The book concludes with a discussion of
critical issues involved in sustainable AV diffusion.

The story of Jensen favouring American V8 power began during the
1930s, with the building of their first prototype car. Although
this pre-war period was short-lived, this would be the start of
what was to eventually become one of the company's main trademarks
- the V8 engine. This new book examines the C-V8, Interceptor and
FF models as well as Jensen's use of Chrysler, Ford and General
Motors engines. The history, design, development and production of
these cars is covered and the book is illustrated with 300 colour
photographs.

A hybrid machine-powered at times by steam, electricity or internal
combustion-the motorcycle in its infancy was an innovation to help
bicycle racers go faster. As motor age technology advanced, the
quest for greater speed at the velodrome peaked, with riders
reaching speeds up to 100 kph on bikes and trikes without brakes,
suspensions or gear boxes. This book chronicles the individuals and
events at the turn of the 20th century that led to the development
of motor-powered two-wheelers.
Traffic congestion is a growing problem and unless policy makers
and transportation officials make some dramatic changes, it will
rise to unacceptable levels by 2030. In, Sam Staley and Adrian
Moore explain the inefficient systems and politics that cause this
escalating epidemic, presenting commonsense, high-tech solutions
that will ease congestion and its troubling consequences. The book
considers transportation policy through the intersection of four
crucial and timely elements: global, economic, and cultural
competitiveness; urban development trends; demographics; and
transportation engineering and design. It sets goals for congestion
reduction, outlines performance standards that increase
transparency, calls for the redesign of the regional transportation
network, and describes sufficient investment in technology.
