Walter J. Boyne, Power Behind the Wheel: Creativity and the Evolution of the Automobile, Starting from the very beginning of the automobile, the novel explains the automobile’s beginnings and the people behind it and its gradual evolution gradually up to the automobiles we see in our everyday lives. The cover of the book sports a close up photo of a vibrant, glossy red colored door panel of a vintage automobile and displays the door’s sharp lines and smooth, curved edges. Easy on the eyes, the cover of the book and a quick glimpse of the beauty that is the automobile and its smaller intricate details. This book would be great for teens and young adults who are interested in the background knowledge of the automobile and individuals show more who enjoy a glimpse into the past and evolution of the automobile. show less
