I've been following advances in electric cars for nearly 50 years and advances in hybrids for 15. I started following electric cars while writing a paper in history class in seventh grade on current events. I started following hybrids when the Honda Insight was released in 1999. I also started following fuel-cell cars about that same time. The Xybrid expands on hybrid technologies, discussing new, potential, and conceptual technologies. If you're interested in cars, and especially if you're interested in hybrids and electric cars, then this book is for you, whether you understand how cars work or not.

I was just stopping to fuel up, when blam, I lost control of my craft. Now I'm stranded on this alien planet. If I don't figure out how to get my craft repaired and get out of here soon, I'll be in violation of several of the major space laws and probably some minor ones of which I'm not aware. Or perhaps I'll stay; perhaps they'll make me an all-powerful ruler. But no, I need to return to from where I came. This food doesn't taste too bad, but for all I know, they could be trying to poison me. My translator's not working, and I can't understand a word they're saying.

Welcome to the wonderful world of consulting. It's a world I know well, having lived it for more than 30 years. What does a consultant do? Well I'm glad you asked. Consultants are brought into a project for their expertise, to speed the project along, and to share their knowledge with the client. Consultants are sought more for their wisdom than for their advice. I try to help the client come to wise decisions rather than telling them what they should do - nobody likes to be told what they should do.

William couldn't believe that it was finally over with Diana. Sure, she had told him it was over several times during the last two weeks. But he couldn't believe this was actually it.

Shortly after the turn of the century, my wife, Terry, and I moved to the mountains of Colorado. Shortly after that, I wrote this humorous story about our lives and how my hero wife lived in spite of the debilitating illness of MCS - multiple chemical sensitivity. Terry lives with the severe face pain, the mind fog, the lack of energy. And she swears every time she's out for a walk and somebody is doing their laundry with some fragrant detergent - her biggest bane. Sometimes she falters and doesn't bear it well, but to me, she's always a hero. This is her story.

Grandmother took off her amulet of power and placed it over Carena's neck. The council looked askance. Carena's sisters and mother looked jealous. Grandmother looked smug. Then she turned into a pile of dust. Carena picked up the pile of dust, then blew each bit of dust out into the air. She let the fire ripple down her arms. And one by one, she ignited each speck of dust, so that it shone like a star just for an instant. Somehow she knew, this was what Grandmother would have wanted.

Let's say for a moment that you're the captain of a spaceship. And you're about to land on an uninhabited planet - when your science officer informs you that those 1000 lights you're seeing down there are emitting life signs. What is it about those lights that makes them special? And more importantly, how can you communicate with them to get permission to land?

Now at 150, Jamil is bored, even more bored than he was at 100. Then Jamil becomes disoriented, and somehow he ends up on a dance stage. Jamil found himself walking off the stage, in his elation. He couldn't stop himself, and it was a long way down.

How did I find myself alone in a ship with the one person who frustrates me the most? Why does Sarah have to be so different? Why do I keep hearing her name in my head? And why did I ever agree to take her to the middle of nowhere and wait to be paid for her trip until I got there? This makes absolutely no sense to me.

From across the room, he noticed her elbow. As he traced the curve of her elbow with his eyes, he noticed something stenciled there. At this distance, he should not have been able to tell that that something was a flower. But he could, so he gave up reasoning for reality. His eye started tracing the lines of the flower. He was only vaguely aware that the flower was drawn on a woman's elbow some 20 yards away.

An electric car is often referred to as an electric vehicle or EV. In Select Your Electric Car, I explore the various options of EVs available in the United States. If you live in California or in one of the other states which have similar zero emission vehicle standards, you will have more choices. These states have laws that car companies selling cars in their state must provide a certain percentage of EVs. I am going to focus on the EVs which are widely available in the US now (2018).
