Let us hope that he may be able to say that in approaching this great economic prob lem, they did so in a manner which showed that they were well informed as to the conditions under which they could deal with it in the light of the previous experience of men, and with the help which the resources of modern science could aﬂ'ord them.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Good Roads Year Book, 1916 It seems probable that during 1916 about 8300, 000 000 will be spent on highways and highway bridges in the United States. This 18 the equivalent of nearly one-third of the total expen of the federal government for the fiscal year 1913-1914. It is then apparent that the Good Roads movement is not atrop hied by lack of funds. The real p'roblem 18 that of intelligent and ef fective use of the large funds actually available. It is to this problem that the American Highway Association addresses its activities. The appeal 1s to the average citizen who 13 asked to vote for the issue of highway bonds and who pays road taxes, well as to the expert. It is an appeal for understanding of the facts of the use of moneys devoted to road building and road maintenance in the interest of the largest economicalng results. It is then a campaign of general education of road building methods upon which the American H1gta Asssociation 1s engaged. It 1s not an advocate of a particular method but an exponent and critic of all methods found to be m actual use - the bad as well as the good. It believes m publicity and discussion.

A surprising number of the first car manufacturers were also cyclists, including Henry Ford. Some carried on cycling right through until the 1940s. One famous motor manufacturing pioneer was a racing tricycle rider to his dying day.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Highway Transportation Re-Makes America Outstanding in the progress of highway transportation in recent years is the uplifting of safety standards. Highway fatalities during the first half of 1939 were about a fifth less than they were a few years ago. At that rate, more than lives are being saved annually because of these improved safety condi tions, and the outlook is that continued progress in that direction will be made in the future. Better motor vehicles and better roads, plus a driving public which is becoming educated to the simple rules of safety, are making highway transportation safer. To day it is safer to ride a mile in an automobile than ever before, despite the great increase in highway traffic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Rural Highways American Rural Highways was written for use as a text or reference in courses dealing with rural highways and intended for agricultural engineers, students in agriculture and for short courses and extension courses. The reader is assumed to have familiarity with drawing and surveying, but the text is adapted primarily for students who do not receive training along the lines of the usual course in Highway or Civil Engineering. The text is intended to familiarize the student with the relation of highway improvement to national progress, to indicate the various problems of highway administration and to set forth the usual methods of design and construction for rural highways in sufficient detail to establish a clear understanding of the distinguishing characteristics and relative serviceability of each of the common types of roadway surface. Experience with classes made up of students in agriculture or agricultural engineering and with trade school students in road making served as a guide in the selection and arrangement of the material. Detailed discussion of tests of materials and of the theory of design has to a considerable extent been eliminated as being outside of the scope of the course for which the text is intended. In the preparation of American Rural Highways reference was had to many books on highway subjects and to current periodical literature. Wherever direct extracts were made from such source, appropriate acknowledgment appears in the text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Good Roads Year Book, 1917 The public interest in road improvements during the last two years has been steadily growing but it has been largely exhibited in a willingness to vote road bonds and to assume road taxes The use of the funds so made available has apparently not yet given the American public any sustained concern. The reason is not far to seek. It lies 1n the assumption that highway con struction and maintenance require little more than good faith and common sense. Many persons without engineering expe ricuce have been persuaded to acquiesce in methods of work which lead to unnecessary waste. Highway engineers throughout the country have been confronted with the necessity of directing the energies of enthusiastic advocates of better roads along lines at once financially and economically wise. Such educational work has been and still 18 no small task for men so busily engaged in the discharge of their usual duties as are the professional road builders.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Roads of Rural America An adequate road system is essential for the economic and social well-being of tho u.s. Rural population. The typical rural family relies on the road system for essential communication between town and city service centers. Children are bused to school. Farm produce is shipped, farm supplies are delivered, and repair parts, groceries, and household supplies are purchased many times throughout the week. Many vehicles, such as school buses and milk trucks, require year - round accessibility, Many rural families have one or more members who commute to factory or service jobs just as regularly as families who live in the cities. It is neither possible nor desirable for rural families to live in isolation. Technological advancements have imposed the need that rural residents have better and safer roads. Faster speeds of passenger vehicles require smoother road surfaces for easy control and wider roads and intersections for safety. The heavier weights of vehicles require stronger roadbeds and bridges. Many rural roads do not meet reasonable standards for today's use. Other roads, adequate now, will deteriorate if funds are not available for required maintenance. Rural America's road network is approaching a crisis in many areas. Roads are deteriorating, maintenance expenses escalate because of inflation, and maintenance and new construction funds are decreasing.

Book excerpt: #1 NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER More than ONE MILLION copies sold A TODAY Show Read with Jenna Book Club Pick A New York Times Notable Book, and Chosen by Oprah Daily, Time, NPR, The Washington Post, Bill Gates and Barack Obama as a Best Book of the Year “Wise and wildly entertaining . . . permeated with light, wit, youth.” —The New York Times Book Review “A classic that we will read for years to come.” —Jenna Bush Hager, Read with Jenna book club “Fantastic. Set in 1954, Towles uses the story of two brothers to show that our personal journeys are never as linear or predictable as we might hope.” —Bill Gates “A real joyride . . . elegantly constructed and compulsively readable.” —NPR The bestselling author of A Gentleman in Moscow and Rules of Civility and master of absorbing, sophisticated fiction returns with a stylish and propulsive novel set in 1950s America In June, 1954, eighteen-year-old Emmett Watson is driven home to Nebraska by the warden of the juvenile work farm where he has just served fifteen months for involuntary manslaughter. His mother long gone, his father recently deceased, and the family farm foreclosed upon by the bank, Emmett's intention is to pick up his eight-year-old brother, Billy, and head to California where they can start their lives anew. But when the warden drives away, Emmett discovers that two friends from the work farm have hidden themselves in the trunk of the warden's car. Together, they have hatched an altogether different plan for Emmett's future, one that will take them all on a fateful journey in the opposite direction—to the City of New York. Spanning just ten days and told from multiple points of view, Towles's third novel will satisfy fans of his multi-layered literary styling while providing them an array of new and richly imagined settings, characters, and themes. “Once again, I was wowed by Towles’s writing—especially because The Lincoln Highway is so different from A Gentleman in Moscow in terms of setting, plot, and themes. Towles is not a one-trick pony. Like all the best storytellers, he has range. He takes inspiration from famous hero’s journeys, including The Iliad, The Odyssey, Hamlet, Huckleberry Finn, and Of Mice and Men. He seems to be saying that our personal journeys are never as linear or predictable as an interstate highway. But, he suggests, when something (or someone) tries to steer us off course, it is possible to take the wheel.” – Bill Gates

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Road Legislation for the American State The principal reason for this comparative neglect of the common roads in nearly all countries is, of course, to be found in the astonishing growth of the railway systems, and, since the invention of the steamboat, of commerce by water. These have ren dered unnecessary long roads such as the ancient Aztecs and Romans found it wise to build for com mercial and military purposes. Then, too, though the railroads have not really lessened the importance of the wagon road, they seem to have done so and they certainly have overshadowed it in political import ance, so that legislators, naturally, have passed it by.
