Given that greenhouse gases are already creating havoc with our climate and that violent conflict in unstable oil-rich nations is on the rise, does this mean that matters will only get worse, or are there hopeful signs that effective, realistic solutions can be found? In Two Billion Cars, through a concise history of America's love affair with cars and an overview of the global auto industry, leading transportation experts Daniel Sperling and Deborah Gordon explain how we arrived at this state, and what we can do about it. Sperling and Gordon outline the problem in full and assign blame squarely where it belongs--on the auto-industry, short-sighted government policies, and consumers.

They consider the issue from all angles and take up such topics as getting beyond the gas-guzzler monoculture, breaking Detroit's hold on energy and climate policy, the search for low-carbon fuels, California's pioneering role, and more. But they are not Cassandras.

Promising advances in both transportation technology and fuel efficiency together with shifts in traveler behavior, they suggest, offer us a way out of our predicament. Ultimately, the authors contend that the two places that have the most troublesome emissions problems--California and China--are the most likely to become world leaders on these issues.

Arnold Schwarzenegger's enlightened embrace of eco-friendly fuel policies, which he discusses in the foreword to Two Billion Cars, and China's forthright recognition that it needs far-reachingenvironmental and energy policies, suggest that if they can tackle the issue effectively and honestly, then there really is reason for hope.

C. has been generally considered a myth.

Accordingly, Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh, Manu and Mandhata, Harishchandra and Bhagirath, Shri Rama and Shri Krishna, all have been treated non-historical, mythical personages. But the recent discoveries like those of Dwarika of Shri Krishna in the sea and Lanka of Ravana in Orissa as well as the authentic determining of the date of floods, that find mention in the purana , have outrightly refuted the past presumptions.

With new things coming to light, it is desirable that history be rewritten. It is with this view that the present book has been written.

It aims at presenting the information in an analytic manner and also in chronological order (less)

In thei first part it traces the political history of the subcontinent through the Vedic and Epic ages, the Maurya nad Gupta empires and the kingdoms of South India. In the second part subjects such as state and government, society and economic life, education, religion and philosophy, literature, art and the extension of Indian culture to the countries of Asia are discussed.

It brings together the most recent reserch findings on the subject and presents an account of ancient India in scholoraly but comprehensible terms (less)

A mound one passes everyday or a narrow strip of stream tells a story of ancient times. Centuries of history coexist with metro stations and plush cars.

The readings in this book give us glimpses of the lives of people who lived in the Delhi area over the centuries, and how these details have been pieced together by historians.It brings into focus the importance of the historian’s method and the sources of information found in ancient texts, archaeology and even legends and folklore, sometimes hanging on the thread of a slender historical fact (less)

The authors have given them a historical shape and significance in a most systematic manner. The outcome is a fascinating account of India s remote past.

It has, however, been made possible as a result of the valuable insights gained over a long period of deep, intensive and profound study of these most ancient texts. The readers of Indian history will find the treatise very informative and refreshing.
