The Great Race recounts the exciting story of a century-long battle among automakers for market share, profit, and technological dominance—and the thrilling race to build the car of the future. The world’s great manufacturing juggernaut—the $3 trillion automotive industry—is in the throes of a revolution. Its future will include cars Henry Ford and Karl Benz could scarcely imagine. They will drive themselves, won’t consume oil, and will come in radical shapes and sizes. But the path to that future is fraught. The top contenders are two traditional manufacturing giants, the US and Japan, and a newcomer, China. Team America has a powerful and little-known weapon in its arsenal: a small group of technology buffs and regulators from California. The story of why and how these men and women could shape the future—how you move, how you work, how you live on Earth—is an unexpected tale filled with unforgettable characters: a scorned chemistry professor, a South African visionary who went for broke, an ambitious Chinese ex-pat, a quixotic Japanese nuclear engineer, and a string of billion-dollar wagers by governments and corporations. “To explain the scramble for the next-generation auto—and the roles played in that race by governments, auto makers, venture capitalists, environmentalists, and private inventors—comes Levi Tillemann’s The Great Race…Mr. Tillemann seems ideally cast to guide us through the big ideas percolating in the world’s far-flung workshops and labs” (The Wall Street Journal). His account is incisive and riveting, explaining how America bounced back in this global contest and what it will take to command the industrial future.

Praise for Wealthy Choices "If you are at all interested in achieving financial freedom, you must read the powerful book, Wealthy Choices, by Dr. Penelope Tzougros. It will make you think about money in a different way and help you uncover some of the roadblocks preventing you from having a life of prosperity and abundance." –Robert G. Allen, author of the New York Times bestsellers, The One Minute Millionaire, Nothing Down for the ’90s, Creating Wealth, Multiple Streams of Income, and Multiple Streams of Internet Income "I’m planning to give this book to my friends. It is important and will enhance their lives. . . . So many people I know don’t have a handle on their finances, and it just boggles my mind that they don’t even think about this for the future. I saw myself in so many of the examples, even though I thought that none of the situations would ever apply to me." –Patty Wagstaff, first woman to win the title of U.S. National Aerobatic Champion and six-time member of the United States Aerobatic Team "To many questions about money, Penelope Tzougros gives common- sense and illuminating answers. Most individuals would benefit much from reading this book." –Jean-Marie Eveillard, Copresident, First Eagle Funds, and manager of several mutual funds "Here is a truly helpful book on how to deal with our finances. Tzougros’s years as a financial planner and sympathetic listener give her advice a special and convincing authority. If you’re afraid of money, this book teaches you how not to be. If you’re fortunate enough to have no serious money worries, you might enjoy reading this just for its good stories and sound, reassuring judgment." –Lloyd Schwartz, Pulitzer Prize winner, NPR commentator, and author of Goodnight, Gracie
