Book Description
For the past four decades there have existed a variety of debates concerning the creation of the monster truck. Most of the arguments are flawed, as they are largely based on the fundamental presumption that the monster truck is a static concept in terms of both construction and purpose. This book delineates how the monster truck is not a singular creation but instead the sum of many technologies orchestrated in a manner to achieve purposes that, like the vehicles, have evolved over time. Author Marty Garza takes the reader on a journey through various phases of monster truck development and occasionally provides evidence of the existence of variations of the concept that predate the establishment of the term. Monster truck fans will be provided with not only the nuts and bolts of individual technological developments but also the context in which they were created. Monster Trucksdepicts unique images that are true to the very nature of the developments themselves. The imagery may be dated, but it's vitally important for the preservation of the heritage of the monster truck industry and serves to recognize those individuals whose contributions have been largely overlooked though they played a significant role in achieving the spectacular level of technology observed today.

The Big Truck That Went By
Author: Jonathan M. KatzPublisher: St. Martin's Press
ISBN: 1137323957
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 329
Book Description
On January 12, 2010, the deadliest earthquake in the history of the Western Hemisphere struck the nation least prepared to handle it. Jonathan M. Katz, the only full-time American news correspondent in Haiti, was inside his house when it buckled along with hundreds of thousands of others. In this visceral, authoritative first-hand account, Katz chronicles the terror of that day, the devastation visited on ordinary Haitians, and how the world reacted to a nation in need. More than half of American adults gave money for Haiti, part of a monumental response totaling $16.3 billion in pledges. But three years later the relief effort has foundered. It's most basic promises—to build safer housing for the homeless, alleviate severe poverty, and strengthen Haiti to face future disasters—remain unfulfilled. The Big Truck That Went By presents a sharp critique of international aid that defies today's conventional wisdom; that the way wealthy countries give aid makes poor countries seem irredeemably hopeless, while trapping millions in cycles of privation and catastrophe. Katz follows the money to uncover startling truths about how good intentions go wrong, and what can be done to make aid "smarter." With coverage of Bill Clinton, who came to help lead the reconstruction; movie-star aid worker Sean Penn; Wyclef Jean; Haiti's leaders and people alike, Katz weaves a complex, darkly funny, and unexpected portrait of one of the world's most fascinating countries. The Big Truck That Went By is not only a definitive account of Haiti's earthquake, but of the world we live in today.
