Peter Egan on the Road: America's Favorite Automotive Writer Stays Off the Interstate
Peter Egan, long time editor-at-large and columnist with America's finest automotive monthly, "Road & Track", presents the best of his travel writing features from the period 1983 to 1996. The prolific Egan has a way with words! Each of the 30 features carries you with him through diverse countryside, townscapes and cultures in a wide variety of captivating cars. Two examples: he winds his way to the Himalayan foothills in an Indian-built, British designed taxi - "The Road to Everest" - in 1986, or drives his heart and soul out in Italy in an open Ferrari two-seater - "The Mille Miglia and the Great Yellow Beast" - in 1993. New especially for this book are his introductions to each chapter - in each one Peter looks back with the benefit of hindsight to charm the reader some more. This is travel writing at its very best from the incomparable, self-effacing, nostalgia-driven Peter Egan..

The Roads That Built America: The Incredible Story of the U.S. Interstate System
The year 2006 celebrates the 50th anniversary of the U.S. Interstate System, the most incredible road system in the world. Created by Dwight D. Eisenhower, whose WW II experiences taught him the necessity of a superhighway for military transport and evacuation in wartime, today's Interstate System is what connects our coasts and our borders, our cities and small towns. It's made possible our suburban lifestyle and caused the vast proliferation of businesses from HoJos to Holiday Inns. And if you order something online, most likely it's a truck barreling along an interstate that gets the product to your door. Written by bestselling author Dan McNichol, The Roads that Built Americais the fascinating story of the largest engineering project the world has ever known.

Cross Country: Fifteen Years and 90,000 Miles on the Roads and Interstates of America with Lewis and Clark, a lot of bad motels, a moving van, Emily Post, ... kids, and enough coffee to kill an elephant
Robert Sullivan, who has driven cross-country more than two dozen times, recounts one of his family’s many journeys from Oregon to New York. His story of moving his family back and forth from the East Coast to the West Coast (along with various other migrations), is replete with all the minor disasters, humor, and wonderful coincidences that characterize life on the road, not to mention life.  As he drives, Sullivan ponders his Lewis and Clark and other fellow nation-crossers, meets Beat poets who are devotees of cross-country icon Jack Kerouac, and plays golf on an abandoned coal mine. And, in his trademark celebration of the mundane, Sullivan investigates everything from the history of the gas pump to the origins of fast food and rest stops. Cross Country tells the tales that come from fifteen years of driving across the country (and all around it) with two kids and everything that two kids and two parents take when driving in a car from one coast to another, over and over, driving to see the way the road made America and America made the road. .
