Road Rocket
Can a teenager afford a car? Even a cheap old one?Woody Ahern thought he could. He had a job after school, he had saved a little money, and, as he pleaded with his father, the main reason he and the other members of his car club wanted a car was so that they could work on it.Woody would get his car--for forty dollars. He named it Sidekick, and from the moment the thirteen-year-old wreck became his very own, Woody lavished on it all his love and devotion. He was sure that when it was done it would be the most beautiful car imaginable. He could even see himself driving Sandra to the spring dance . . . but it would take a lot of work before Sidekick was safe to drive. And before that work was complete Woody would come to learn a great deal--not only about cars, but also about human relationships and his own goals in life.Road Rocket captures the heart and soul of 1950s hot rod culture. The lean, mean story follows Ahern's hard-driving path to rodding redemption, riffs on some meaningful messages, and unleashes a fast and furious read. Dig in and learn what millions of readers already know; the world's most popular hot rod novel is a hopped-up high-horsepower thrill ride.

Structural Dynamics of Rail Joints
Structural Dynamics of Rail Joints" is a comprehensive book written by Swagat Kumar that explores the critical aspect of railway track infrastructure - the rail joints. Rail joints play a vital role in maintaining the integrity of railway tracks and ensuring the safe and efficient operation of trains. The book delves into the electromechanical impedance principle, a cutting-edge technique for detecting and analyzing the structural dynamics of rail joints. Kumar explains how this technique can be used to identify defects, assess the health of the rail joints, and monitor their performance over time. The book covers a range of topics, including the theory and fundamentals of structural dynamics, the principles of electromechanical impedance, and the design and implementation of monitoring systems for rail joints. The author also discusses case studies and practical applications of the electromechanical impedance technique in the field. The book is an essential reference for researchers, engineers, and practitioners involved in railway track maintenance and management. It provides a thorough understanding of the structural dynamics of rail joints and offers practical insights into the use of the electromechanical impedance technique for ensuring the safe and efficient operation of railways.
