Summary

What Is Personal Rapid Transit
 
Personal rapid transit (PRT), also known as podcars or guided/railed taxis, is a form of public transportation that utilizes small automated vehicles and operates them on a network of specially built guideways. Other names for this type of transportation include personal rapid transit (PRT) and guided/railed taxis. Automated guideway transit (AGT) is a kind of system that also comprises bigger vehicles and extends all the way down to smaller subway systems. PRT falls under the AGT category. When it comes to the paths that it takes, it leans more like personal public transportation systems.

    COVID WARS - America's Struggle...

    A sweeping, deeply researched chronicle of the COVID-19 pandemic, weaving together science, politics, and personal freedoms. 
    Ronald Gruner, with the precision of a historian and the curiosity of a citizen, takes the listener from the roots of virology in the 19th century to the chaotic pandemic years of 2020–2022. The book doesn’t just tell the story of a virus—it lays bare the cultural and political divide that shaped America’s uneven and often painful response. 
    Gruner’s writing is crisp, and he breaks down complex topics without dumbing them down. The opening chapters—“Contagium” and “The Warning”—build a compelling backstory on pandemics past, from the 1918 Spanish Flu to the eerie predictions of the Bush and Obama administrations. 
    COVID WARS isn’t shy about calling out failures. Politicians, conspiracy theorists, media figures, and even some public health leaders get held accountable. The chapter “The Divide” lays it all out—how the pandemic morphed from a health emergency into a political food fight. Gruner points fingers but backs it all up with evidence, charts, and historical comparisons. 
    What listeners will appreciate most, though, is Gruner’s balance. He’s clearly frustrated with misinformation and poor leadership, but he doesn’t come across as bitter or one-sided. The chapter “Lockdowns” captures this tone perfectly. He acknowledges the economic devastation and emotional toll, especially on children and small business owners, while also recognizing that something had to be done to slow the rising death counts. If you’re curious about what really happened, how we got here, and how it could have been different—COVID WARS will be worth your time. 
    COVID WARS is not just a book about the pandemic. It’s a mirror, and what it reflects is both sobering and necessary.

    A guided journey through the inner workings of Earth, the cloaked mysteries of other planets in our solar system, and beyond. 
     
     
     
    Earth, from space, looks like a shimmering gem suspended in an inky, infinite expanse. But this serene image masks the magnificent and volatile interior forces that make life possible for millions of species on the surface. The placid appearances of our neighboring planets similarly belie their powers—and science fiction-worthy features, like diamond rain. The daily machinations of Earth's deep interior make the planet a habitable, yet sometimes treacherous, place to live. Drill down thousands of miles through our built environments and soil, sand, water, rock, and minerals to the outer (mainly liquid iron with nickel) and inner core, encountering intense convection, roiling metals, hidden continents, and shifting tectonic plates. Discover the effects of magnetism, rotation, and seismic activity seen and sensed in the forms of auroras, hurricanes, volcanoes, and earthquakes, among other manifestations. 
     
     
     
    Join this exciting journey to far-flung interstellar locations and the center of the Earth to learn what lies beneath our feet, and why it's the best real estate in our solar system.
