by By Bradsher, Keith
Category: Technology & Engineering , Automotive

Bureau chief for  The New York Times  first in Detroit and now in Hong Kong, Bradsher offers a biography of the half-tanks that are clogging US streets. He relies mostly on quotes from within the automobile industry by the people who have designed, built, and marketed them despite reservations about their practicality and safety. Among his revelations is that insurance for the vehicles is subsidized by everyone else's premiums. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
