In celebration of its centennial,
the Society of Automotive Engineers commissioned
author Robert C. Post and Tehabi
Books to create a custom, illustrated work that
would fittingly document the
accomplishments of the SAE and its membership. The
result of this collaboration, The
SAE Story: One Hundred Years of Mobility, is set for
release at the 2005 SAE World
Congress scheduled April 11-14, 2005, in Detroit.
The SAE Story: One Hundred Years of
Mobility combines an iconic
collage of
20th-century popular culture with a
view to the future role SAE International will
play at the forefront of technical
engineering advances -- advances that again
will ultimately help to shape the
world in which we will live.
True to the rich genre of
"coffee-table books," The SAE Story is filled with archival
images, historical background, and
is punctuated with the personalities and pivotal
moments in transportation
technology. As told by Post, a former transportation
curator at the Smithsonian
Institution and author of more than a dozen titles including
Technology,Transport, and Travel in
American History (American Historical Association,
2003) and High Performance: The
Culture and Technology of Drag Racing (Johns Hopkins
University Press, 2001), household
names such as Henry Ford, Orville Wright and
Mario Andretti become the
architects in the building of an industry.
The SAE Story's publisher, Tehabi
Books, has a distinguished portfolio including corporate
projects for companies such as Ford
Motor Company, NASCAR and General Mills. Tehabi,
located in San Diego, offers
more than 60 titles and has five million books in print.
