Examines the Interstate Highway Act of 1956 which resulted in the construction of more than forty thousand miles of interconnected highways across all states, discussing the history of road construction in the United states and some of the controversies.

The Eisenhower Freeway system is treated in this book as a great engineering marvel. Little is told about how the construction of freeways in the United States destroyed the railroads by undermining their freight traffic base, nor how the freeways set our Nation on a course to become the energy gluttons of the planet, consuming fossil fuels like there was no tomorrow. The book tells nothing of the self dealing that went on to win the passage of the "Federal Aid Highway Act of 1956", where a cabal of lobbyists, oil companies, road contractors, trucking companies, tire manufactures and other auto parts suppliers, community leaders, real estate speculators, and other members of the "highway gang" all combined forces to push legislation through for which they had direct and indirect personal benefit from.... this would likely be frowned upon today. The freeway system has increased our dependence on foreign oil greatly, and is a lasting legacy to Dwight Eisenhower, a 5 star general who helped win World War II with assistance through the Herculean efforts of the railroads and waterways. However, these two tranport modes were "kicked to the side" by Eisenhower because of his "admiration for the German autobahn." The US freeway system today is operating on subsidies from the US Treasury- the federal motor fuel tax has not been raised since 1993 and taxpayers are subsidizing the long haul, heavy axle trucking industry to compete with more energy efficient waterways and rails. This is an example of the worst kind of meddlesome government interference in the market place, and another example of a government program with counter-intuitive effects.

There's almost nothing in the modern home that can delight us more than an intelligently organized, nicely featured closet-a place where things are organized in pleasing geometry, here we can find and retrieve that perfect tie or that just-right sweater, instantly. And there's nothing more disheartening and irritating than that murky closet from the netherworld, where boxes tumble down on our heads whenever the door opens, where the sheer clutter makes it impossible to identify what's inside, much less retrieve the item you need. Consumer desperation is why entire companies have sprung up devoted to closet organizing-it's the reason homeowners sometimes spend literally thousands of dollars to have a custom closet organizer designed and installed.

Or, they can buy this book and do it themselves for a fraction of the cost. Today, virtually all the materials and hardware used by custom closet fabricators is available to consumers on the racks of home centers and hardware stores. Build Your Own Custom Closet is the first book to show consumers all the inside tips on designing a custom closet, and how to install it using materials they can buy themselves. This is the book that will lift readers from closet purgatory into the heaven of the well-organized closet-without selling their souls.
