The Automobile
Why did the automobile become this particular industrial, economic, energy, material, territorial, and labor system rather than another? This U.S. edition follows the car from mass production and design through finance, maintenance, fuel, materials, infrastructure, work, and electrification, then asks what a genuinely resource-conscious vehicle would require over its full life cycle.

Community reading review
Read, challenge, improve
Take one reading mission, read the whole work, challenge what seems wrong or unclear, propose improvements, then submit one structured report. A validated report counts as one of the three required readings.
