A System at Risk is a comprehensive analysis of the transportation dilemma in the United States that continues to affect the economic competitiveness and quality of life in America. Written for the layman and the professional alike, it describes an impending crisis in the surface transportation system, which is the foundation of economic vitality.
Dr. Harold Worrall exposes the underlying relationship between transportation and economics by reviewing public economic theory and choice. Incremental policy making has done little to reduce automobile and truck traffic growth. Further, an analysis of traffic congestion demonstrates a geometric growth pattern for congestion even as traffic grows linearly.
Dr. Worrall reviews the European Union and China for the manner in which they have addressed similar challenges. These competing economies are shown to have a strategy for dealing with surface transportation and are in stark contrast to that of the United States.
Transportation funding is shown to be inadequate in volume and method of application as traffic volumes continue to grow. Dr. Worrall shows that there is a demonstrated need for transportation policies that consider a relationship between the price and consumption of transportation.

A System At Risk
'Children love surprises. They love lifting flaps. This series rewards their curiosity with interesting discoveries about their world. The subject matter is based closely on children's interests: play, food, travel and home, and invites us to make friends with children from far away places.
The way people live is different in many parts of the world. This series of colourful flap books, created with and for OXFAM, depict everyday situations and help us to discover what makes us different and what binds us together. This book shows the different transport people use.'
This book was lovely.
This book is part of a four book series and is the second I have had the pleasure of reading. So I knew what to expect going into this book. I made sure to look for all little bits of information and not to miss any of the lifting flaps.
I think this book will easily be a fast favourite with young readers and their families. It isn't over flowing with information, but there is more than enough to entertain and inform.
The illustrations work perfectly with the story being told and really capture everything that is going on in each individual scene.
I loved the lifting flaps in this book. They added something extra to the story and were able to show different options for how various forms of transportation are used. This gave an option for a second explanation on how and why things are the way they are in different countries around the world.
I honestly don't have a bad word to say about this book. As an adult i really enjoyed it, so i can only imagine the joy and knowledge it will bring to young readers everywhere.
Come And Ride With Us! by Annie Kubler and Caroline Formby is must have for all young readers.
