Octavo, tan boards (hardcover), xviii, 332 pp. Very Good, with darkening to covers. From Foreword: This book summarizes the work on Personal Rapid Transit (PRT) carried out at The Aerospace Corporation from 1968 to 1976. It is the intent of the authors that the book be useful to experts and students of transportation and engineering, but in addition we have tried to make it readable by the interested layman. Our emphasis has been in describing concepts rather than engineering details because we believe that it is the concepts that are important, whereas there may be several alternative engineering implementations of approximately equal merit. The use of mathematics is also minimized and where equations do occur, they can be bypassed without too much loss of meaning. As a not-for-profit company, The Aerospace Corporation conducts a program of company sponsored research to apply its talents to solving technical problems of public importance. In 1968 one of my duties as a Vice President of the Company was to recommend such a program of research to the management and Board of Trustees for their approval. It appeared to me that the capabilities of the company could be brought to bear effectively on problems of transportation, and no area of transportation was more critical than urban transportation. There was a tremendous cost in wasted time as people drove to work through congested traffic, and again as they returned home. The automobile was responsible for a disturbing trend in land use, especially in Central Business Districts where up to 70% of the land area was being used for streets, freeways, access lanes, parking lots, and sidewalks. Oil shortages were already apparent and it was clear that alternate sources of energy would soon be needed. In auto-oriented cities, and especially in the Los Angeles area, where The Aerospace Corporation is located, automotive air pollution was becoming a serious problem. Moreover, widespread deployment of existing transit modes was not the answer because they did not have the features to attract people out of their automobiles; door-to-door trip times would be substantially longer and comfort and privacy would be sacrificed. Transit models also were plagued either by high capital costs or high operating costs. Transportation, Urban Development, City Planning, Personal Transport bslic.…

About the Authors. Some ink marks noted. This is a Report of the CSIS International Security Program. Joining CSIS in 2001, Murdock has completed studies on a range of defense and national security issues, including strategic planning, defense policy and governance, and U.S. nuclear weapons strategy and policy. He directed the four-phase study on Defense Department reform, Beyond Goldwater-Nichols: USG and Defense Reform for a New Strategic Era, which released reports in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2008. Murdock is currently leading several ?track two? dialogues on nuclear policy issues?one involving the United States, United Kingdom, and France, and the other involving the United States, South Korea, and Japan. He has completed studies on methodological approaches to building force-planning constructs and on nuclear posture implications of U.S. extended deterrence and assurance. He is the principal author of Improving the Practice of National Security Strategy: A New Approach for the Post?Cold War World and The Department of Defense and the Nuclear Mission in the 21st Century. He coauthored Revitalizing the U.S. Nuclear Deterrent and Nuclear Weapons in 21st Century U.S. National Security. Murdock taught military strategy & military innovation at the National War College. From 1995 to 2000, in the Office of the Air Force Chief of Staff, he was deputy special assistant to the chief for long range planning, he helped develop a strategic vision for the 2020 Air Force. Project Atom is a forward-looking, blue-sky review of U.S. nuclear strategy and posture in a 2025-2050 world in which nuclear weapons are still necessary. The report highlights and addresses the current deficit in national security attention paid to the continued relevance and importance of U.S. nuclear strategy and force posture, provides a new open-source baseline for understanding the nuclear strategies of other countries, and offers a credible, intellectually tested, and nonpartisan range of options for the United States to consider in revising its own nuclear strategy. Project Atom took a competitive strategies approach to its zero-based, ?blue-sky? review of U.S. nuclear strategy and force posture. Three independent think tank teams?the Stimson Center, the Center for a New American Security (CNAS ), and the National Institute for Public Policy (NI PP)?addressed the fundamental issues: ? What should U.S. nuclear strategy be for the new era, defined as 2025?2050? ? What U.S. nuclear posture is needed to support that strategy? Their analysis (which can be found in the appendices of this report) was unconstrained by current strategy (e.g., reducing the role of nuclear weapons in U.S. strategy) and current policy (e.g., the prohibition against new nuclear weapons or new nuclear capabilities), but was conducted within a common framework of assumptions about the future security environment, likely technological trends, and resource constraints. After leading the development of the common analytic framework and participating in the debate among the think tank teams, Clark Murdock drafted a recommended nuclear strategy and posture for 2025?2050, defended it at a half-day Project Atom working group meeting, consulted with additional experts, and drafted the study report. The competitive strategies approach, including the use of external (to the think tank teams) experts, was extremely helpful as he developed and refined the recommended nuclear strategy and posture. …
