By 1920 the electric car had all but vanished and gas-powered cars dominated the market. In \u003ci\u003eTaking Charge\u003c\/i\u003e, Schiffer deftly explores how cultural factors, not technological ones, explain the rise of gas-guzzling cars. Schiffer brings the history of the electric car into the present, arguing that despite the Detroit Big Three’s reluctance to make electric cars, their time has finally arrived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                        \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                        \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMichael Brian Schiffer\u003c\/b\u003e is professor of anthropology at the University of Arizona in Tucson and the author of seven books, including \u003ci\u003eThe Portable Radio in American Life\u003c\/i\u003e (1991).\u003c\/p\u003e\n                    \n                \n            \u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Best Bookstore","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":46555853127841,"sku":"BBSNIJ9781588340764","price":37.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0525\/2084\/5473\/files\/9781588340764_db20764f-6bf2-4499-81f0-434052b09bae.jpg?v=1781799310","url":"https:\/\/www.bestbookstore.ca\/products\/taking-charge-paperback-by-michael-schiffer","provider":"Best Book Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
