A true story of love and survival, this book profiles the lives of a couple who unwittingly become involved in a most unusual experience. Life was idyllic on the island paradise known as Roatan, located some 35 miles off the North Coast of Honduras, in the Western Caribbean Sea. Two unsuspecting people are hoodwinked into allowing a rascal cat into their lives and hearts where he soon becomes master of the house. A brainstorm of an idea brings four very young kittens, (otherwise condemned to certain death), onto the scene to complicate a once simple existence. Nature subsequently challenges the very lives of all the people on the island as Hurricane Mitch, a category 5 storm, hovers off shore for five days, with sustained winds of 140 miles per hour, creating thirty foot seas and torrential rains. It quickly became a life threatening situation. The "Storm of the Century" devastates the Bay Islands of Honduras and then crosses the entire Central American isthmus twice, leaving massive death and destruction behind before exiting through Guatemala and the Gulf of Mexico. The aftermath of this disaster is as frightening as the storm, but fate plays a friendly role in this frightening survival.

The rule of the road--the simple requirement that traffic keep either to the left or to the right--has a history long antedating the appearance of the automobile. This volume, the first book-length treatment of the subject, discusses the origins and history of the rule of the road and provides complete information on current practice throughout the world. A well-written account of a universal arrangement that has largely gone unnoticed by scholars, this book fills a gap in scholarship on the history of transportation.

Driving is a privilege and not a right. Drivers must drive responsibly and safely, obey traffic laws, and never drink and drive. Finally, make sure that you and your passengers are properly buckled up - it's the law! Today's vehicles are loaded with technology that was unheard of even a decade ago. Systems that warn when you are drifting from your lane, assist you in parallel parking, automatically brake in emergency situations and provide 360 degrees of vision around the vehicle via a camera are becoming standard, even on moderately priced vehicles. As remarkable as these leaps in automotive technology are, the truth is that the most important safety feature in any vehicle remains you as the driver. Therefore, it is to your benefit to continue improving and expanding your knowledge of traffic laws and safe driving practices. Driving is a privilege. Once you have been issued a driver's license, you have the responsibility to continually demonstrate the skill and knowledge to drive safely. Whether you have been behind the wheel for decades or are just starting to venture out, driving is a discipline that requires judgment, knowledge, physical and mental self-awareness, and practice. "What Every Driver Must Know" is an excellent resource for assisting you on this lifelong journey.
