In a book that hybridizes information from reliable websites for general consumers and technical reports for 'equation-confident' readers, a retired engineer/professor/car aficionado traces the history of hybrid autos from an 1898 gas-electric concept car to the failed US 'Supercar' program and today's models. Fuhs overviews how hybrid vehicles work, their design features, advantages, and specific models (though surprisingly little is said about the best- selling Prius). He debunks myths about improving fuel economy, discusses safety concerns about aftermarket add-ons, and presents a sneak preview of emerging technologies. The book includes illustrations, equations, and appended data and information on global warming. Annotation )2009 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews. com) - 79.00
